Great little pub with more locals than the hipsters who have descended on this area. The aroma on a sunday is roasts and mussles. The plates going by you look awesome. Service is great too. Very friendly bar staff.

Better for a pint and a talk .
Pitstop after a walk on Broadway and Columbia Flower Market .
Had dinner over there and wasn't that good . Tried the mousles and Thai Day recommendations as some desserts .
I personally prefer the DoveTail, from the same group but in Clerkenwell (better chef and better service)
notes .
not so good and not so nice service
The Dove is located bang in the middle of Broadway Market, just off Hackney road. This is a corner pub specialised in Belgium dishes and beers. The beers on offer are simply fantastic. My personal favourites are the Duval and/or Chimay beers. The atmosphere and ambiance, similarly too many of its counterparts down the street, is comfortable and casual. The Dove does a good job of attracting decent numbers of customers without ever completely overcrowding its space. This does not really go for weekends.
The food on offer is for the most part very good. To be fair, I only ever tried the posh fish & chips. Let me tell you these were excellent and make you wish you found some like the Dove's more often around London. My guess is that the muscles are probably a worthy choice as well. Do note that the Dove also served a great brunch on week-ends. Then again, eating breakfast in a pub like restaurant is never the most pleasant.
My advice: A really enjoyable pub located in one of the top locations in London. Broadway market is in many senses a real gemstone. I would visit it now before the wolf-pack arrives. Once the word comes out, everyone will be all over this area.
Enjoy!
ps: The Dove's little touch is the board games which can be borrowed at the bar by the most competitive of us (or alternatively, the most bored).
