Rosé & Canapés at Magdalena

Magdalena is the celebrated restaurant of The Ivy Hotel, a Relais & Châteaux property in Baltimore’s historic Mount Vernon neighborhood.

Magdalena, a Maryland Bistro, features refined, “from-scratch” bistro fare driven by the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay region. The seasonally evolving menu celebrates the finest local ingredients, sustainable values, and culinary craftsmanship, resulting in dishes brimming with character.

Executive Chef Ülfet Ralph has over a decade of experience in Relais & Châteaux properties. With this expertise, Chef Ralph will continue Magdalena’s mission of exploring innovative and artful interpretations of Maryland cuisine with a purposeful balance of bistro meets elegance. Ingredients are sourced close to home, and relationships with local farmers and purveyors are at the heart of the culinary philosophy. A cheeky cocktail program, Wine Spectator-awarded wine list, and revered whiskey collection complete a delightfully unmatched dining experience.

Magdalena offers five unique dining rooms, each contributing to a five-star restaurant experience. The main dining area and its comfortable and elegant ambiance provide a relaxing view of the walled garden. The Garden Bar, known for its adventurous cocktails, craft beers, and the finest malt whiskeys, offers a more vibrant atmosphere. The Wine Cellar, a chic and seductive retreat, is perfect for special evenings, while the intimate and refined Treasury room caters to those seeking a more private dining experience.
