"The original Newington Green location of Jolene is one of the friendliest and most comfortable spots in north London. It’s an all-day bakery and cafe, serving homely autumnal stews, soups, and pastas in the day before lighting its candles and turning into a small plates restaurant by night. Despite the bare industrial space, dinner at Jolene always manages to feel intimate and lovely. Thanks, in part, to their daily changing menu that always includes fantastic oily focaccia and a handful of brilliant vegetarian combinations, like fettuccine with roast garlic, crème fraîche, and chervil." - Jake Oliver, Daisy Meager, Heidi Lauth Beasley
