C'est la deuxième fois que je viens au Joséphine. La nourriture est excellente, les textures, cuissons, assaisonnements sont excellents. Les portions sont correctes. Les cocktails sont très très bons surtout celui au citron & la vie en rose. Ils ont une bonne carte des vins à des prix raisonnables.
