This autumn, The Ivy Asia invites guests to step into a world of colour, light, and celebration as it
honours the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, one of the most enchanting
traditions in Asian culture. For centuries, this occasion has brought loved ones together beneath the
glow of the full moon, celebrating unity, prosperity, and joy.

From now until 24th October, diners are invited to embrace the magic of the festival at The Ivy
Asia with a limited-edition Moon Festival Afternoon Tea, an exclusive selection of signature cocktails,
and a dazzling atmosphere brought to life with lanterns, glowing interiors, and live entertainment.

Beautiful lanterns, symbols of hope, fortune, and illumination, will transform The Ivy Asia into a vibrant
theatrical setting. On Saturdays, guests can look forward to immersive live music and DJ performances,
heightening the celebratory spirit in true Ivy Asia style.

Presented on a dramatic three-tier tray with cascading dry ice, The Ivy Asia’s Moon Festival Afternoon
Tea (£33.95pp) offers a luxurious twist on tradition. Guests can enjoy Aromatic Duck Spring Rolls,
Vegetable Dumplings with citrus ponzu, Salmon Cream Cheese & Cucumber Maki Rolls, Spicy
Avocado Maki Rolls, Sesame-crusted Prawn Dumplings, and Steamed Vegetable Bao Buns with
Yakiniku sauce.

Sweet delights take inspiration from the festival’s most iconic flavours, with Red Lantern Chocolate
Choux Buns, Raspberry Macarons, Yuzu & Honeycomb Cheesecake, and a delicate Mini White Lotus,
with the option to elevate the experience to a Champagne Afternoon Tea (£43.95pp).

To mark the Moon Festival in true Ivy Asia style, guests can raise a glass with three exclusive
handcrafted cocktails created by the restaurant’s expert mixologists. The Elderflower Eclipse
is a vibrant blend of Johnnie Walker Black, green apple, elderflower, verjus, ginger ale, and lager. For
those in search of sparkle, Celestial Spark  combines Tanqueray gin, lime, yuzu, raspberry, and
champagne, in a vibrant serve that feels truly celebratory. Finally, Golden Moon  offers a bold
balance of Ketel One vodka, mango, fig leaf, lime and a touch of hot honey, capturing both the richness
and warmth of the season.

Guests are invited to indulge, share in the joy of the season, and savour a little moonlit magic.
