Legit a real hidden gem, it's always an incredible time. Also, they have a vegan option that they have clearly put a lot of thought into, which my girlfriend appreciates, as most places will just serve up storebought vegan bacon or something, whereas here the dish is constructed from scratch, it's really a nice touch, & it goes a long way for people looking for that quality.
For the rest of the dishes, it's a small restaurant, but their menu is adventurous.
I have been to both this place, & Knuckles across the street, & honestly Knuckles falls short in comparison. It's a decent restaurant, but Knuckles is like experimental haute cuisine, & it can get a little pretentious (& pricey!) with the concepts, but falling short on the flavours... & it wasn't all that memorable. Whereas I've been to Chez Josie a bunch of times, & even brought my parents who own a restaurant, just because I know I can expect very flavoursome food, reasonable prices, & the atmosphere is really fun.
It's got a winning recipe inside & out.
The only thing I'll say that's a criticism- & it's kind of a small thing- but if it's busy on a weekend, the music from the bar can get really loud, & if you're eating, it can be hard to hear the person across from you!
But honestly, that's it. If you're looking for a really great spot, with food to impress, you really can't go wrong with this place. They clearly care about the food, & the experience, & if you go in summer, their terrace is awesome.
10/10

Ambiance très chouette, à priori c'est un bar mais il y a un peu de place pour danser près du DJ booth. Le mojito était pas pire. Tout est cher mais ça c'est la vie maintenant 🥹

Nous sommes venus tôt, car nous n'aimons pas le tumulte qui vient avec une clientèle trop nombreuse & je crois comprendre que nous avons bien fait de faire ainsi. Excellente nourriture, mais nous détestons les menus sur le téléphone à partir d'un code barre. Un beau tableau au mur permet d'économiser le papier aussi.

Très bel endroit. Un essentiel de Villeray. Les serveurs & les serveuses sont excellents. Surtout Emma. Par contre, parlons du gérant Nick. Quel être désagréable. Condescendance, autorité, rigide. Ça nuit à l'expérience. Je n'ai plus le goût de consommer dans votre bar à cause de lui.
