Je suis déchiré à propos de cet endroit. J'y suis allé trois fois. Les cocktails sont bien, les plats sont bons, mais le service dépend vraiment de la journée. Probablement la dernière fois que j'y vais parce que j'en ressort avec seulement un cocktail, de la faim & des heures de perdu. N'y aller pas seul & vous serez probablement ok.

I'm torned about this place. I've been there three times. Cocktails are great, food is good, but service is a hit or miss.

Probably the last time I go, because all I got last time was a cocktail & I left hungry after hours of waiting. Guess don't go alone & you will be fine.

La nourriture était excellente! & il s'agit d'un bon rapport qualité/prix. Les portions à partager sont de vrais portions & non des mini assiettes.

Le service etais aussi très bon. Rie de mauvais à dire! J'y retournerais certainement.

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
