Reasons to go
Full description
Dorian sits at premium pricing in Notting Hill, and its review pattern is more polarised than most on this list: enthusiastic diners single out dishes like lobster with gazpacho, wild mushroom salad, and chicken liver parfait toast as genuinely excellent, while others feel the experience doesn't match the cost. At 3.8 stars, it's clearly still capable of standout meals, particularly at lunch according to some reviewers, even if consistency seems to vary.
It suits diners drawn to its striking, fashionable interior and willing to take a chance on a kitchen with real highs. It leans toward an evening destination for couples rather than a safe, guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Simply excellent. Went for a late lunch and sat at the counter in front of the grill. The chef cooking the steaks was a machine and took time to talk to us too. All the staff were super friendly and informative. The steak was unbelievable and in my view the best I’ve had in London! Highly recommend.
