Birthday dinner that had some notable issues. Nearly 45 minutes between courses killed the momentum, & the mains didn't quite deliver on flavor despite looking the part. The veal was very salty, had to use a side of butter pasta to cut it. When we flagged that things were just'ok' to our waiter, he moved on without any follow-up, which was disappointing.
Not a write-off…you can see the effort…but this visit didn't live up to what French cuisine should offer. Willing to try again & hope it was just an off night.

Is Joe Beef now just a tourist trap? Is the restaurant'past its prime'. Honestly I do not care.

Joe Beef isn't just a dining experience, it's an exercise exploring the joy of decadence. The restaurant poses a simple existential question: If you're going to do something, why not do it with exuberance & maximalism? Worry about consequences later.

It's decadent, insane & unforgettable. A special meal at an institution of excess.

Highlights were: the foie gras terrine, the lamb to share, & the seafood platter.

One the best restaurant experience of my life, everything was perfect. Joe beef is a must! The oysters were excellent & the scallop was delicious. The lobster pasta was amazing & the sauce was perfect like a rich bisque sauce very creamy. Cod cheeks were also great & very flavourful. The dessert was an incredible end to the meal the Marjolaine was outstanding & the pistachio eclair was one the best desserts I have ever had if you love pistachio it's gonna blow your mind. Our waiter was very nice, very professional & knowledgeable. The restaurant is very homely & warm, beautiful decor very kitsch. I would recommend Joe beef to anyone who wants to experience dining at its finest & also they have amazing seafood options, don't let the name fool you
