John Doe - Kensington and Chelsea

It took 45 minutes just for a drink to be served, making for a disastrous evening. The food was forgettable and definitely not worth the lengthy wait.

I stumbled upon this fantastic casual dining restaurant on my own. I tried the Sunday roast and it was absolutely delicious - full of flavors and textures. The chefs clearly put a lot of thought into their dishes. The open kitchen concept allowed me to watch and chat with the chefs, which was a nice touch. James was working hard and prepared some fantastic dishes for me. Well done, James! I had an amazing experience and will definitely be back soon. Thank you!

To taste dishes cooked from Bertha, the anthropomorphised beast of a cooker, is surely the most authentic that food can taste in London. Leeks, ash roast and delicately dressed with a caper, lentil and tarragon sauce is just the beginning. Keralan Crab Curry stunning...the list goes on.....Every dish a treat, every flavour an explosion All dishes are mind blowing, service superb and the Apérol Spritz the perfect starting gun

This is a great place if you love food. Focused on taste, all fired by a big bertha of a wood fired oven, John Doe is a great place to get something different. I came on my own as I'd heard about it online had a spare evening, and was made really welcome, with great draft Thornbridge beers. Sat at the bar, I watched the chefs prepare the food literally in front of me, as the heat of the oven pulsed out. It was one of the best and most visceral food experiences I've hadRecommended: duck hearts, octopus, pheasant kebab, leeks I've eaten at John Doe a couple of times now, dragging my work colleagues with me who are similarly smitten :

Excellent food across a range of dishes, from the beautifully smoked venison, to the flavoursome steak tartar this had something for everyone at our table. Washed down with a good selection of both wine and beers. Can't recommend highly enough
