Dove Restaurant in London

"We had a 12pm reservation to try the burger which is limited to 20 a day (10 at lunch, 10 at dinner). Despite having a booking, we arrived at 11:40am to line up which felt a bit excessive in my opinion. We shared the deep-fried taleggio truffle lasagne (overcooked and off in flavour), the fried potato pizzette with burrata and mortadella (simple but delicious), grilled prawns (nicely done) and the famous beef burger with gorgonzola with fries. The burger was good but the patty could have been better seasoned and it didn’t quite justify the early queue. The service was friendly and polite."

"I was keen to try the famous 10-per-day burger. Made the reservation for midday, when they open, but arrived at 11:45 and sat outside. A queue formed around me, and it definitely consisted of more than 10 people. All staff members I encountered were so friendly and helpful. Really impressed me, from front of house to wait staff. Beautiful environment, I liked the calming colour scheme and decor very much. Comfortable seating, and nice bathrooms also. I did manage to get the burger (which I overheard had sold out, and when I checked my watch it was 12:08pm!) and it was really good. Simple, quality, wholesome. It was juicy, and so messy to eat. So flavoursome. Had no idea how to eat it so I made a right mess of it, but no shame here. I can’t bring myself to call it the best burger I’ve ever eaten; something is holding me back from that, but I can’t tell you what. Because I ate quite slowly, maybe it was that the lightly toasted bun dried out a little by the time I ate the second half. I ordered a side of fries, this was a step too far for me. I would have been satisfied without these, I’m not sure if my appetite is small or normal though so I speak for myself. The fries were really good, but quite expensive compared to the burger. Bill came to £36, this included - burger, fries, still water, a fresh lemon iced tea and service charge. On a Sunday the street parking is free. I found a space a few minutes / short walk away. I imagine on all other days it’s either expensive or tricky to find a space."

"I am a big foodie and bar seeker when on holiday. Saw Doves burger that they only make 10 of per day online and made a reservation for when they open at 5:30. Let me say it did NOT disappoint. My boyfriend and i agree that was the best burger we have ever had. We also had an appetizer that was like a mini pizza that was delicious. Staff completely friendly and fast service. Def a must when you visit London."

"Great restaurant in the heart of Notting Hill. We went there first of all their famous Burger but most other dishes we tasted were great as well. The Burger with Gorgonzola cheese was delicious. We preferred to share it as we wanted to taste other dishes as well. Actually it was the right choice. The pizette, shrimps, tomato salad and dumplings were very tasty. We also had the chicken as recommended by the staff but it was nothing special about it, it was ok. Wine alternatives were also good. Desserts, as in most London restaurants, were not at the dame level as other foods in the menu. Highly recommend."

"I’d heard about Dove for a while — especially that burger everyone talks about — and after seeing it all over Instagram, I was eager to finally try it. We waited about 20 minutes in line to get one of the 10 burgers offered per service, and it was absolutely worth it. With smash burgers everywhere these days, it was refreshing to have a rich, juicy patty cooked to perfection. The garnishes were balanced, and the duck fat fries were outstanding. I genuinely considered booking again the next day. The ham pizzette, raw lamb tart, and soft serve with salted oat biscuits all showed the same attention to detail — everything felt cohesive and intentional. From the warm service to the lively atmosphere, it was a delicious, memorable experience I can’t wait to repeat next time I’m in London."

"Food was great! You don't need the stupid burger everyone is raving about to enjoy this place. Prawns in particular were absolutely mind blowing worth going AND returning for. Friendly and helpful staff"

"Well, the burger is pitched as the best in London and e has to visit as part of our London burger pilgrimage. It didn’t disappoint! Each of us, fifty something, 26 years and 13 years old rated it 10 out of 10. We had no space for dessert it was that filling. Seriously impressed, don’t think about it and just book it. Really friendly service too."

"Went for the Cornish Lobster Rice and ended up having a lot more. The food was top-notch and the service was very attentive. A great selection of wines and cocktails (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) to go with the dishes too."
