Johnny Boy’s, a new California-inspired diner, has opened in Stoke Newington, bringing the flavours of Los Angeles’ diverse immigrant communities to London. The restaurant is the latest venture from Julian Denis, founder of the Hackney vegan restaurant Facing Heaven and adjacent dive bar Easy 8.
Inspired by LA’s Immigrant Enclaves
Denis, who grew up in California, said the concept was shaped by the family-run eateries that emerged from Mexican, Jewish, Greek, and Japanese communities across Southern California. ‘As these enclaves popped up, so developed a movement of DIY eateries that became neighbourhood focal points and second homes for many people,’ he said.
Menu and Opening Hours
The diner serves weekend breakfast, including breakfast burritos and chilaquiles, and dinner from Wednesday to Sunday. Evening offerings include crab tostada, patty melts, and pastrami dip sandwiches.
Location and Details
Johnny Boy’s is located at 3 Northwold Road, Stoke Newington, London N16 7HL. For more information, visit the restaurant’s website.
