“ Great service, welcomed with smiles, nice bright space for lunch. Burger on the blackboard was absolutely delicious- with the melted Gorgonzola sauce and the onion ‘puree’ reduction. Simple but oh so good, definitely top gourmet burger in London. Great quality meat which you can clearly taste. The fries were good, nothing special though. ”
“ Dove. Is. Delight. I've been following Jackson Boxer's culinary journey over the past several years and Dove (formerly Orasay) is a testament to why he remains one of the best chef's in London. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and inviting: I expressed that I wanted to enjoy the very best things on the menu and boy did they deliver. I began with the octopus gilda as a bite, followed by the absolute must-have fried potato pizzette, then a light and refreshing iberiko tomato salad which was I must say the best tomato salad I have ever had in my life. And I had the roast chicken for my main (it was to die for: juicy, moist, tender, decadent), and finished with a perfect elderflower panna cotta. There are so many things I love about Dove: the food is at once comfortingly familiar and taken to the next level in its preparation. The atmosphere makes you feel as though time is suspended, as if it might last forever. And the servers, staff, and cooks have the ethos of an entire team supporting one another and making you (me) feel right at home in their dining room. Dove is an entire experience. And it's one I look forward to again! ”
“ The artistic touch using each element of the plate, creating an incredible harmony in the mouth was clearly what made a difference here in the whole dining experience. Each dishes were special as a whole with a lot of attention from the chef, and the service was the warmest making you feel like a special guest. Thank you! ”
“ Took my partner for his birthday during Sunday lunchtime. The food, atmosphere and service was absolutely perfect. We had a wonderful experience. Make sure you order the prawns! ”
“ Book now because once word gets out, it will no doubt be hard to snag a table a Dove. Really interesting menu of well prepared small plates and mains. We loved the whipped fava bean starter, the salad, and the prawn toasts. Honestly, everything was delicious. The service was attentive but not overbearing. Wine prices fair. The chef floats around making sure everyone is happy. Great addition to the neighbourhood! Looking forward to going back soon. ”
“ It was absolutely sublime. Cannot recommend highly enough. The pizzette was airy and light and crispy and delicious. The 50-day aged burger was possibly the best burger I’ve had in my life, and the service was incredible. We will definitely be back. What a gem! ”
“ This was the birthday of my best friend, so I decided to tear her to a nice lunch. I heard about this place, so I decided to book and check it out. The service was very good, the atmosphere is relaxed with a buzz, the food is really good. We had the Veneto salami, the iberico tomato salad, the tuna tostada, the chard with hummus and pine nuts, the fried potato tart with burrata and mortadella, the hake with champagne broth, the prawns, and we ended the meal with the flourless chocolate cake, plus the soft serve with olive oil. We drank a nice Aligote by the glass to start with, and a bottle of Muscadet for the main courses and the side dishes. Everything was excellent, the staff are super friendly and competent, the food is simple but cooked very well, with respect for the high quality ingredients that they have. I will need to come again to sample the rest of the menu, as there were so many things that I wanted to try ! Thank you guys it was a very special lunch. ”
“ The food was imaginative without being too fussy. Although we thought our salt intake could be improved, everything was delectable. The service was excellent and the bill wasn't eye-watering, either. Overall, our experience was delightful, we will definitely return if we can get a table! ”
