In Mayfair and looking for the perfect burger? May we point you in the direction of Dover Street Counter, one of our new favourite restaurants in London.
We’ve just reviewed this slick new diner, which comes from the same team as The Dover, the New York-style Italian restaurant which opened in 2023, and which we loved so much that it made our list of the best restaurants in London.
Unlike The Dover, Dover Street Counter is open for lunch, offering tuna melts, and a host of other juicy sandwiches, including fried chicken and a French dip with roast beef. The menu also includes some rather moreish ‘disco fries’, loaded chips with pickled chilli and ginger, mayo and tangy ‘disco jus’.

According to the restaurant’s website, it serves ‘feel-good’ food and drink, which also extends to salmon steak, lobster, buttermilk fried chicken, a chopped salad, and of course the aforementioned burger.
‘The cheeseburger is so on point as to almost be a cartoon-like rendition of the all-American meal, the perky beef patty topped with luminous yellow cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard,’ reads our review. ‘I had a hangover before I ate it, and after three bites, I did not. Surely the sign of a burger doing its job.’
Dover Street Counter is at 31 Dover Street, Mayfair, W1S 4ND. A late night spot, it is open until 1.30am from Thursday until Saturdays, and a not-to-be-sniffed-at midnight from Mondays to Wednesdays. It is, alas, closed on Sundays.
