The Ivy Collection opening in Cardiff at site a former Jamie's Italian

The Ivy Collection is to open a venue in Cardiff.

The famous group is opening in the site of a former Jamie's Italian. There had been some confusion in the Welsh capital as the site of the outlet after it had previously been revealed it was planning to open at the former Moss Bros store on the Hayes.

The group said each location is "carefully handpicked" to "add to the local area".

A spokeswoman for The Ivy Collection said: "The Ivy Collection has begun construction on a space at [St David's] to open a brasserie in winter 2019.  

"The restaurant will feature an all-day dining menu and will be open seven days a week."

The Ivy Collection is a group of restaurants, brasseries and cafés, established in London but with a number of sites across the UK.  

The same group applied to open another brand at the former Jamie's Italian but then quickly withdrew the plans hours after they were made public.

WalesOnline revealed last month a licensing application had been put in on behalf of the Harry's brand for the now empty site on The Hayes.

But less than a day later that the application was withdrawn with no reason given to Cardiff Council.

The once popular Jamie's Italian shut in May after the chain  went into administration .

The site was  later stripped out and is currently surrounded by hoarding while further work is carried out.
