Los mejores restaurantes casuales en Highbury/Islington

This was well worth the wait!! I’m not really a tomato person but both the bruschetta and burrata with winter tomatoes were delicious! I usually try to avoid sourdough bread as most places serve them tough but Tom’s sourdough bread was perfectly soft. I would also highly recommend the oyster mushroom tagliatelle. And of course the star of the show was the tiramisu!!! Again, not a tiramisu person because I don’t like coffee but this was perfect! As someone who doesn’t consume any alcohol, I also really appreciate that they don’t add any to their tiramisu.

The food is great and is the star of the show. For me, the place verges on pretentious as far as the hipster vibe is concerned. You just want a bit more attention to detail. Our server was lovely, but knowledge of the menu could be better for a meal of this calibre. You want to feel a bit better taken care of when you spend quite a lot on a special meal. I find the concept of small plates slightly frustrating, as sometimes you want a full meal to yourself; but they do what they do very well - and the flavours across the board were great.

Yet again an outstanding meal at Jolene’s! To be honest I can’t recommend anything in particular as it’s all amazing! I would think they change the menus pretty frequently too. The bread is delicious! We ordered 3 smaller plates and 2 larger plates to share, and a pudding! Only suggestion would be more craft beer or IPA on the drinks menu but apart from that it was superb.

Small and intimate in size but BIG in flavour and comes with great front of house service. Small plates to share are the way to go here. The chef is Turkish and therefore the dishes have an influence of Turkish cuisine about them. Each dish is freshly cooked to order and the flavours were fresh and delicious. We ordered all of the small plates which we shared between the four of us and found this worked well. We even had a small space for a naughty desert! The wine was expensive to us (non Londoners) but a good selection to choose from and we were delighted to see some Austrian wine on the list which is unusual in Devon. We had a great evening and would love to re visit again sometime in the future. Thank you!
