On the walls of Lo-Jo’s, there’s a vibrant elephant drawing for every country the Australian owner George Booth has lived in. Within that is his vision to create an atmosphere where memories are evoked to take customers back to a time when they were having fun and being social.
The cocktail menu, however, is what makes you want to come back for more.
On opening night on November 30 it was a question of sitting back, relaxing, sipping on a range that included such names as Bloody Hell and Mary and English Summer Garden, and letting Lo-Jo’s do all the work in the kitchen.
And what work! Cheddar popcorn, hand-cut fries, onion rings …
and a confit duck burger that one guest described as the “greatest burger of all time”.
