They offer all you can eat mussels & fries on Tuesdays! They always have the classic sauce & a sauce of the day. It has been a struggle to find really good mussels in this city & I'm super happy that I found this gem of a place! The mussels are always really fresh & they have an amazing selection of oysters as well. I would definitely recommend this cute intimate restaurant if you're ever craving mussels or tasty oysters!

There were two of us, & the service was truly attentive. The food was excellent & beautifully presented, with a detailed description of each dish. I ordered the lobster ravioli & the grilled octopus, both of which were incredible. & what can I say about the selection of oysters, apart from their diverse origins & freshness? Incredible! I will gladly return !!!

It felt like they lied about their oyster special & artificially set a limit

Loved Josephine! Would be perfect for date night. I went alone & sat at the bar on a Friday & it was pretty empty. The fish special was out of this world, & I loved the oysters & the mignonette hot sauce that came with it. You are paying $$$ for not a big portion, just note that. I walked out a little hungry but knew I wanted something lighter. & it is still worth it for the flavors. One of the best meals I have had in Montreal!

Came by myself on a sunny Wednesday around 6pm-place was pretty empty so I got seated & served right away. Drink landed in just a few minutes, & my half seafood platter ($55) was on the table within 15. I also had their tequila cocktail ($16), which was a solid pairing.

The oysters were fresh & really good, though I wish there was more than one sauce option-they only serve them with a homemade jalapeno mignonette, which isn't my favorite. But then came the shrimp... absolutely insane. Easily the best shrimp I've had in recent memory. The salmon gravlax was super fresh, & the tuna tataki was delicious too.

Yeah, it's a bit pricey, but honestly, the quality of the ingredients makes it worth it.
