Dovetale is a modern European restaurant at 1 Dover Yard in Mayfair, forming part of 1 Hotel Mayfair with its own entrance onto the pedestrianised yard. The dining room is warm and polished, while a covered, greenery filled terrace adds an outdoor setting for drinks and seasonal meals.
The kitchen is led by Tom Sellers with executive chef Tom Anglesea, focusing on British produce and ingredient driven European technique. Menus follow the market and the seasons, moving from handmade pasta and carefully sourced fish to grilled meat and vegetable led dishes.
Current ideas include roast potato gnocchi with aged pecorino, whole Cornish sea bream with rose harissa, and Lake District steak with classic sauces. A dedicated plant based menu widens the choice, while large roast fish, chicken and T-bone dishes encourage sharing.
Breakfast is served daily, Saturday brings brunch and Sunday centres on a traditional roast. Handcrafted cocktails, a carefully chosen wine list and desserts such as the signature knickerbocker glory complete an experience designed for everything from a morning meeting to a celebratory dinner.
Address: 1 Dover Yard, Mayfair, London W1J 8NE, England
