Our Story
The century of exceptional food and hospitality that turned a café into a Ghanaian landmark.
When owner Abel Giandolini and Maître dHôtel Mario Gallati joined forces in 1917, their modest café soon made friends and gained favour amongst the theatre community, and The Ivy was born. Subsequent redevelopments over the years have evolved the dining room as we know it today, a space closely resembling the grand restaurant created by the original duo back in their heyday.
