# Overview Dove is chef Jackson Boxer's neighbourhood restaurant on Kensington Park Road, just off Portobello Road in Notting Hill. He closed his seafood restaurant Orasay in the same room on New Year's Eve 2024 and reopened it as Dove on January 7, 2025 with the same team and a looser, comfort-led menu meant to be more affordable than Orasay. Boxer also runs Brunswick House and Henri; Dove is independently run, listed in the Michelin Guide and rated four stars by Time Out. # Why Visit The reason people queue is the burger: 50-day dry-aged British beef from the offcuts of the restaurant's own steaks, seared in beef dripping, topped with Gorgonzola Dolce and a sweet, sticky Champagne-butter onion lyonnaise, on a fermented-potato brioche bun toasted in beef fat. Only about ten are made per dinner service (plus a handful at lunch on some days) and they routinely sell out within minutes of doors opening, so arrive at the start of service. Beyond the burger the kitchen leans on grilled meats, smart snacks and a short by-the-glass wine list, and the room is relaxed enough that well-behaved dogs are welcome. # Menu Highlights - Dry-aged beef burger — 50-day aged beef, Gorgonzola Dolce, Champagne-braised onions, beef-fat toasted bun (£18, about 10 per service) - Deep-fried Taleggio and Wiltshire truffle lasagna (£7 for two) - Red prawn, lardo and yuzu on a potato cake (£5 each) - Grilled bavette steak with smoked bone marrow and morels (£29) - Hake with pumpkin and Champagne (£27) - Chocolate cake with quince and sour cream (£10) # Additional Information - **Address:** 31 Kensington Park Road, London W11 2EU - **Phone:** +44 (0)20 7043 1400 - **Hours:** Lunch Thu–Sat 12:00–15:00, Sun 12:00–16:00 | Dinner Tue–Sat 17:30–22:00 | Closed Monday - **Reservation Policy:** Bookings and waitlist via SevenRooms on the website; walk-ins compete with reservation holders for the same ten burgers - **Pet Policy:** Well-behaved dogs welcome (Hot Dinners dog-friendly roundup; not stated on the restaurant's own site) - **Price Range:** GBP 40–50 per person, food only — snack £5–7, main £27–29, dessert £8–10 from the January 2025 menu (Hot Dinners); burger alone £18; The Infatuation rates it in its top price tier # Reviews - **TripAdvisor:** 2.7/5 (10 reviews; too small a sample to mean much against the press) - **Google:** 4.4/5 (765 reviews, though the listing likely carries over Orasay-era reviews from the same address) - **Press:** Time Out 4/5 ("a fun-loving neighbourhood restaurant"); Michelin Guide listing; The Good Food Guide; Hot Dinners; The Infatuation ("the early bird gets the burger") - **Video:** "We Made the World's Best Burger" on the [[Fallow]] channel, where the Champagne-braised onions were borrowed for their ultimate burger (second link in `source`) - **Review Snippets:** - "Staff were knowledgeable and friendly, atmosphere was fancy but casual, and the food was delicious." — TripAdvisor - "The early bird gets the burger." — The Infatuation --- ## Remarks Dove is Jackson Boxer's relaxed Notting Hill room, and its ten-a-night dry-aged burger with Gorgonzola and Champagne onions is one of the most sought-after plates in London right now. Book the first slot of dinner service if the burger is the goal; otherwise the bavette, the fried lasagna snack and the by-the-glass wines make it a solid neighbourhood dinner at roughly £40–50 a head before drinks. Dog-friendly. Related notes: [[Black Bear Burger]], [[Hamburger America]], [[4 Charles Prime Rib]] and [[Fallow]] from the same video.
