Dove London is a neighbourhood restaurant at 31 Kensington Park Road in Notting Hill. Chef Jackson Boxer relaunched the intimate dining room in 2025 with a focus on elevated comfort food and seasonal British produce. The cooking is relaxed but carefully considered, with a concise menu that changes regularly and encourages diners to share several dishes across the table.
Snacks can include olives and pickles, sourdough focaccia with date agrodolce and Basque salami. Deep fried Taleggio and Wiltshire truffle lasagne brings crisp pastry and molten cheese together in a particularly indulgent bite. Raw fish, tostadas and other changing small plates add brighter flavours, while the use of pickles, herbs and carefully judged acidity keeps the richer dishes balanced.
Vegetable plates such as whipped fava with braised chicory or roasted leeks with pecans and pecorino show the same attention as the meat and seafood. Roast chicken with grilled turnips and Café de Paris butter is designed to share, with wood grilled beef offering a more robust alternative. A limited daily burger layers dry aged beef with Gorgonzola and Champagne braised onions, making early booking especially useful for diners hoping to try it.
Desserts remain playful and comforting, from chocolate cake and coffee cardamom caramel cream to fior di latte soft serve with olive oil and warm cookies. The drinks selection follows the menu's flexible style through cocktails and an approachable wine list. Together, the close dining room, seasonal cooking and generous sharing format create a restaurant that feels polished without losing its neighbourhood warmth.
