Très bon moment !

Les huîtres étaient petites mais goûteuses, tout comme le reste du plateau avec les crevettes nordiques, la salade de crevettes & le gravlax de saumon.

Le restaurant est propre, l'ambiance tamisée & cosy, on s'y sent bien.
Nous étions placés au bar, parfait pour être tranquille, avec un serveur aux petits soins qui prend le temps de tout expliquer.

Les cocktails étaient aussi très bons 🍸

Une belle expérience gustative, un peu chère certes, mais la qualité & le service suivent ! 🦪✨

Lovely little restaurant with fresh seafood features & perfectly balanced cocktails at reasonable prices. Big thanks to the bartender Daniel for making me feel at home while traveling, I appreciated the conversation & great recommendations around town! I could see myself coming back here often! Can't wait to see Daniel featured on a famous bartending show 👍

Excellente soirée. Depuis la dernière fois le service & la carte s'est considérablement amélioré, & c'était super bon. Peut être un chouïa overpriced sur quelques plats mais ça ne m'empêchera pas de revenir.

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!
