J'adore les fruits de mer & le poisson & je n'ai pas été déçue. Nous avons pris un plateau Joséphine & c'était excellent! Frais & goûteux. Le service était parfait. Le personnel était gentil & amical. Le petit hic, c'est que nous avions un peu de misère à s'entendre parler, mais sinon je recommande & je retournerais sans hésiter.View more

Had a fantastic dinner er at Josephine with my wife & son. For apples we shared Lion's mane mushrooms, an octopus salad, & a seafood plateau with four mussels, two shrimp, & salmon gravalax - they were so delicious we devoured them before I managed to get photos - sorry - highly recommend each dish. For mains, two of us had the special - mackerel, & one the lobster ravioli. The mackerel was cooked perfectly, grilled on one side only, & accompanied by various veggies. The ravioli was delicious, cooked perfectly al dente. We sampled a number of cocktails & I had or sampled the best espresso martini, classic martini, & vesper I have ever been served - wow! Our server was extremely helpful & very friendly - absolutely top notch service by her & everyone we interacted with. They also accommodated my wife's dairy & gluten allergies without compromise - well done! Excellent, excellent, excellent!View more

Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment en famille chez Joséphine, particulièrement sur leur terrasse à l'ambiance cosy & relaxante. Les plats étaient délicieux & les cocktails incroyables. Nous avons commencé avec les courgettes grillées, les calamars frits d'une fraîcheur incomparable, & les huîtres chaudes qui étaient un pur délice - une expérience unique en bouche. Le plat signature, les raviolis au homard, était tout simplement parfait, la sauce un véritable régal. Le chef nous a également concocté un poisson du jour extraordinaire avec des filets de maquereau & de la pêche grillée - une combinaison délicieuse. Pour notre fils, le chef a eu la gentillesse de préparer des pâtes blanches au parmesan rien que pour lui, qu'il a adorées. Quant aux cocktails, j'ai choisi l'Alice, & c'était un véritable délice. En résumé, je recommande vivement Joséphine pour une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle en famille !View more

We just had a lovely & lively meal at Joséphine. The three of us sat at the large center table, enjoyed a fabulous Dauvissat Chablis, oysters, salmon tartare, calamari fritti, sea bass with roasted corn & peaches, lobster ravioli, & duck confit papardelle. The service was warm & unobtrusive. Many of the customers seemed to be regulars, which added to the welcoming atmosphere.View more
