Exceptional Dining in Baltimore

Magdalena, a fine-dining bistro, is both informal and thrilling, a culinary jewel of Baltimore. The cross-cultural menu is built upon the finest local ingredients, and changes with the seasons and the inspiration of the chef. There are five different dining areas at Magdalena: the Garden Room, which looks out onto The Ivy’s walled Courtyard; the intimate, romantic Treasury – where sterling and crystal were once kept under lock and key, and where welcoming tables now stand under pools of lamplight; the vaulted, brick-floored Wine Cellar; Tasting Room; and the handsome, convivial Bar. And of course diners are welcome to enjoy drinks at the Bar before moving to their table.

Meal served in the restaurant of The Ivy Baltimore. A cocktail is on the right with a tray holding tacos just beside.

AWARD-WINNING

Executive Chef Mark Levy

Levy, a classically-trained, award-winning chef, has traveled the world exploring cultures and cuisines from the African lowlands to French mountain villages. He tells the story of those journeys – and traditions closer to home – on the plate. High-quality, local, seasonal ingredients are at the forefront of the menu. Revelatory simplicity, subtle complexity. It all goes hand-in-hand with a wine cellar of great depth and variety, the finest malt whiskeys, and some of the most delicious craft beers ever brewed.
