If you're looking for a dining experience with plenty of variety and many different flavours, then a visit to Ivo Lounge in St Ives, Huntingdonshire, is a must. 

As well as 12 items on the breakfast menu - all of which have vegan and gluten-free alternatives (including bread, sausages, muffins, and 'lounge eggs with mushroom and spinach') - the tapas selection is wide-ranging; for spice fans who like their food with a little kick, try the patatas bravas and bang bang cauliflower.

Then there are the lunchtime (including a huge range of flatbreads), dinner (chimichurri burger), dessert and drink menus.

As if that wasn't enough, the interior design adds to the Ivo Lounge's high-end vibe.

Immediately after stepping foot inside the restaurant, it feels like walking into the living room of some very trendy grandparents. 

With eclectic eye-popping portraits hanging on every wall, as well as silver mirrors, peacock feather wallpaper and frilly lampshades, the art deco vibe brings to mind the 1920s.

However, the interior attracts people from multiple different generations; when we visit, on a Thursday lunchtime, the restaurant is impressively busy, full of friends meeting for lunch, mums with their children and older couples.

“We opened at 9am last Wednesday, were full by 10.30am, and we've been busy since," general manager Andrew tells us. 

“I think it hits many different groups of people, which changes throughout the day - but there’s something for everything.

"On Friday night, we had a younger crowd enjoying a drink before going on a night out to The Taproom or Out Out," he says.

Having himself relocated to Huntingdonshire just three weeks ago, Andrew is passionate to make Ivo Lounge a real success.

With around 40 members of staff, the St Ives restaurant is the 204th Loungers site, with one opening every nine days.

“Each site is individual to the area," Andrew explains, pointing our attention to the old steamboat at the bar. "They've all got their own unique style."

“We wanted to keep the culture of St Ives and compliment the other bars and cafes in the area,” he says, adding that the restaurant is also helping to support the local foodbank.
