Brand-new neighbourhood bistro hello JoJo is so good it will leave you longing for a SE postcode
Hello JoJo has landed in Camberwell with a colourful bang, lighting up Camberwell Church Street with its bright blue facade. The restaurant and all-day bakery is the brainchild of Jo and Rob, a south London duo who have taken on the former Forza Win site and turned it into a neighbourhood destination.
Eat This
hello JoJo has a pretty large food menu featuring a mix of snacks, small and larger plates, making it easy as to pop in for a few dishes alongside your vino as it is to go all out with a full lunch or dinner.
We rarely rave about the bread but being a restaurant and bakery, it’s no surprise that their rippled bread loaf is a memorable order. Warm and fluffy, it’s perfect with Omi’s artichoke cream, and there is still plenty left for mopping up every plate along the way. Another standout is the Cornish mussels with leek and lovage sauce and smoked lard – smoky, creamy and very, very moreish.
If there was ever a sign to order the fresh pasta, it’s the fancy big pasta-making machine sitting in the middle of the restaurant. The ditalini with silky courgettes and Westcombe ricotta is a fresh and hearty bowl of carbs.
Drink This
They have an extensive wine list with some interesting bottles from across Europe, like a skin-contact from Kent and a non-alcoholic Beaujolais. If cocktails are more your thing, you can choose a spicy marg or PBJ highball to wet your whistle.
Why Go
Camberwell’s food scene is on fire at the moment, with some epic new additions coming south of the river. hello JoJo is the latest to join the list, and we have a feeling it’ll be drawing in Londoners from across the city. It’s full of personality and has comforting dishes that will leave you feeling very content.
