Loved the ambience of the place. Went there for dinner, lovely spot for a date night. We ordered a few dishes including the focaccia bread, mushroom pasta, and my two favourites; a steak and anchovy dish and the broccoli labneh appetizer. The portions were good and the flavours were amazing but felt like the dishes were a hit or miss - some were delicious while others were not really worth the value for money. Staff were very helpful though and we told them about our dietary restrictions and they recommended delicious options!
such a lovely and romantic ambience at Jolene. From the moment you walk in you’re greeted with a warm environment and equally warm wait staff. The food speaks for itself, each dish full of flavour and complementing the next. If I remember correctly the menu changes daily, so if you go more than once you’ll be in for a treat.
We had a range of share plates and even shared the mains - meaning we got to try more.
Staff were super friendly and lovely, and even went out of their way to celebrate my birthday.
Overall a heartwarming and lovely experience.
Stumbled across this little bakery/restaurant yesterday and went in after someone told me it was good. And it was! I had a chocolate bun and the summer berry booch, and it was really really yummy. The bun was very soft and tasted really good. There was a generous helping of chocolate sprinkles, sauce and even a chocolate filling! My friend had the iced latte which was light and refreshing for a hot summer's day. The sausage roll was massive too! Overall, really good and I recommend!
Lovely neighborhood restaurant! Came here with friends before and the pasta was impressive so I take my mother here again. Love the ambience and the food. She loved the focaccia and I loved the spaghetti. Menu varies everyday depending on the seasonal produce I guess, very surprising each time I’m here.
love the ambience of the restaurant!
we ordered the focaccia and olives, lamb ragu, seafood spaghetti and monkfish.
the food was good but i wish the portions were slightly bigger.
![4]( "Recensione")
- focaccia £3
- courgette fritti £8.50
- profiteroles £9
- pork ragu tagliatelle £15
- king prawn spaghetti £15
- ricotta gnocchi £15
to start, we got their famous focaccia and it absolutely lived up to the hype! for only £3, you get three big slices and it was genuinely some of the fluffiest bread ive ever had; it had a salty and olive oil flavour without being overly greasy. courgette fritti on its own does tend to be quite bland but when paired with the intense pepper flavour of their ‘good-good’ sauce, it was a winner!
our fave pasta was the king prawn spaghetti bc of the fresh prawns and the nice kick of chilli. the other two were also nice but just didn’t wow us. we were told to share them but we found the portions were very small (esp at £15 each) as, between the 3 of us, we just about had 2 bites each. their coffee and chocolate profiteroles were the perfect end to our meal; it had richness from the coffee cream and chocolate ganache but the pastry itself was very light so, as a whole, it wasn’t too heavy.
whilst the food was delicious, what won our hearts was the cosy yet sophisticated ambiance of the place! it really is a lovely escape from the fast-paced busy city. i would return bc their daily changing menu means there’s always something new but because (for me at least) it’s quite far out and a lil pricey, it’d have to be for an occasion :’)
Excellent gem of a restaurant! Jolene had been on my list for a very long time and it lives up to the hype. The menu is seasonal and changes daily. Food arrives as it's made and I tell you, every plate delivered in taste and presentation.
The frigetelli peppers with cucumber, yogurt and herbs, spices and dukkah was incredible. I was tempted to order a second one immediately after. Very generous portion of peppers too. The summer caponata had a perfect acidity and minty-ness to it. The parmesan fritters were SO light and airy and piping hot and fresh. Best cheese fritters I've had. The pici cacio e Pepe was generous though nothing out of the ordinary. Very good but paled a bit after such incredible starters.
I'll be back again! Lovely, lovely spot with a great ambience and great service too!
Excellent restaurant with great Mediterranean dishes and awesome coffee! The focaccia, cod/potato dip and the pappardelle ragu pasta were particularly good. Really friendly staff as well, and very cute and atmospheric vibes. Highly recommend this place (as well as their smaller one in Shoreditch)
Little gem in London. Very good food. The waitress explained the menu and everything was on time. Loved the cozy atmosphere. Would be nice if they opened somewhere more central. Menus change very often and interesting combinations of food.
Great experience at Jolene! Delicious plates and friendly and attentive service.
The beef tartare was well seasoned, the caponata was fresh and the focaccia was perfect for mopping up the caponata. The anchovy spaghetti was very tasty.
The pannacotta was the perfect way to end the meal!
