Dorothy’s brings all-day café and bar culture to Savile Row with new opening

Dorothy’s, a new all-day caffè, bar and restaurant, opens tomorrow on Savile Row. The venue is the latest project from Wendover, the London-based design and development practice whose previous work includes Foreign Exchange News, Sol’s, Fort Road Hotel, Pavilion Press and the design of Shreeji News. The concept will serve from morning through to late evening, drawing on the café traditions of cities like Vienna, Milan, Rome and Paris.

The interiors reference pre-war continental eateries and bars, with stained and lacquered oak burl panelling, Breccia Damascata marble counters and flooring, a mirrored ceiling and brushed aluminium accents. A raised central counter anchors the room, which is furnished with custom marble tables, Bentwood chairs, leather banquettes and marble-topped standing ledges. According to the operators, the design takes its cues from Adolf Loos’s American Bar in Vienna and Pasticceria Cova in Milan.

Gabriel Chipperfield, co-founder of Wendover, said: “At Dorothy’s, we have built on our experience at Sol’s, Foreign Exchange and Pavilion Press and taken it one step further – adopting a ‘gesamtkunstwerk’ approach to design every element of the space. We feel this best represents Wendover’s approach to every project – world-building that spans architecture, interior design, decoration, art, brand and service.”

The caffè’s name refers to Lady Dorothy Savile, after whom the street is partly named, and the menu has been developed with reference to the history of Savile Row and its tailoring trade. Daytime service begins with pastries and coffee, supplied by local roaster 15 Grams, before moving to dishes such as a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel, brioche sandwiches, toasted club sandwiches, gazpacho and seasonal plates including Peaches and Mozzarella. In the evening the offering shifts towards sharing plates like Stuffed and Fried Olives, Chickpea Panisse with Tapenade, Lobster with Aioli and Grilled Scallop with Café de Paris Butter.

The wine list features producers including Txakoli from the Basque Country, Tuscan Vermentino, skin contact wines from Sicily and Friuli, and sparkling wines from Catalunya and Requena. Cocktails reference local history, among them the Ray Dagg, named after the police officer who threatened The Beatles with arrest during their rooftop performance at 3 Savile Row, and the Tommy Nutter, named after the tailor. On the house drinks list there are libations such as the Toast & Marmalade, made with gin, marmalade, Cynar and brioche, a Salted Paloma, a Picante and a Garibaldi.

Harry Farrow, head of hospitality at Wendover, said: “Dorothy’s is a place where we want people to begin the day with a coffee and end with a nightcap. Somewhere to settle in, celebrate, or simply spend time. Much like our other projects, we’ve designed it as a true neighbourhood day-to-night destination.”
