Joanna's - Carta

South-london, from one reason or another, always falls short on the wrong idea of being the wrong side of the river, so I decided it was time to try to change the heads of men. the diamonds in the rough kitchen that through my research of the local independent restaurants, said to integrate a Vest vibe of cocktails, service and of course delicious cuisine, brings me to joanna 's, embedded on Westow Hill, crystal palace, in the notorious 'triangle'. Since 1978, with window seats with the best views on the city, has to offer southern iondon's own unique twisting,

that was a really nice restaurant, the staff is really polite and make them so welcome. for the starter I had the 'special' for the day that was lobster linguini, partly was exactly right and they could taste how fresh the lobster was...lovely start to the meal. I followed this with the pan roasted sea bass, kartoffels and green beans- the sea bass was crunchy on the outside cooked with soft/flaky meat to perfection. the only disadvantage was that the whole dish had a little more taste, as it was quite basic with aromen. for dessert was the sticky toffee pudding with ice - a word amazing! I will return

Since I moved to sydenham two years ago, I wanted to come to Joannas. since over thirteenth known as a neighbourly lover, it is famous for cocktails, warm hospitality and their signatures hamburger. what's good with me. under the name of the Rhyming-slang for the piano, which once graced the restaurant (i.e. "playing the old joanna" is joanna, and was always in the totality of its existence, family-owned and running, which is refreshing and especially refreshing in a time of chains and great conglomerates. eating here is reflective, with real care go into every dish of its largely modern European and American menus. my visit today...read more Ver carta

south is not a place I often visit, but a trip to my dear friend valentina (senior writer for cook pour) and het new baby presented a opportunity to review the food offered south of the river. I love trying new places and discover new food. they can comfortably get in their own zone. we were also at pascal who visited a few weeks to london. Crystal palace’s high street reminds me of primrose hill. a small village vibe with independence dominate the road. no flooding of known chains here. joanna is a brasserie that reminds me of cafe boheme in soho. it had remnants of the French style, but the menu itself is not mostly French cuisine....read more

Perfect local brasserie. Continuing our culinary exploration of our new 'hood...Early family Christmas lunch at Joanna 's on Sunday. Exemplary rib eye, cooked rare as requested, with bearnaise and thin chips for me. Others on the table had the roast beef and roast turkey Sunday specials, a (slightly dry duck confit with a plum sauce, and a very generous slab of belly pork with fine crackling. With two bottles of a Languedoc Pinot Noir it came to £140 for five including service (which is not automatically added, brownie points for them! Very competent, great service, lovely neighbourhood atmosphere, chatty, mixture of diners. Delighted I live nearby and looking forward to trying...read more

Exemplary food, service and venue. This charming, charismatic restaurant adds a touch of class to your evening. It's like stepping back in time to a place where romance isn't dead and sophisticated food isn't compromised by size or price. Greeted at the door by a doting waiter, he takes your coat and leads you to the bar to relax with one of their gorgeous cocktails. They're worth every penny (roughly £8-£10 each), I had a Winter Berry Mojito which was delicious and the man had a Mai Tai whilst we enjoyed the view of the London skyline, sparkling in the distance. We moved to our table for the evening and started off with a round of Nocellara del Belice olives (the best olives ever...read mor...

Absolutely amazing! I went with my boyfriend on Friday night for a lovely meal. He recently moved to the area and we had been told by many locals it was the place to go when in the area. It was more than I expected, the service and A le Carte menu surpassed our expectations. On arrival we didn't reserve an area) we was greeted with warm smiles by all the waiters and staff, who treated us like we were the only people in the restaurant. Despite having a full house we were given a great table and it wasn't just the staff who were smiling, all those who had come in to dine were too. It was like someone had injected them with happy juice. When we tasted the food we soon understood why....read mor... Ver carta
