About us

« […] delicious and carefully prepared. »

Jean-Philippe Tastet, Le Devoir

« Something to make year-round lovers of the sea salivate »

Iris Gagnon-Paradis, La Presse

Located in the heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal, the Joséphine restaurant offers original bistro cuisine that highlights fish and seafood.

Inspired by his many travels, chef Vincent Desaulniers revisits with passion classic dishes combined with different flavors of the world. On the plate, you will therefore find delicately crafted quality products intelligently enhanced with local ingredients. The varied menu evolving with the creativity of the chef over the seasons will satisfy everyone!

The meticulously crafted wine list features a wide selection of privately imported products and is constantly evolving.

With its warm atmosphere and its modern decor bathed in greenery and natural light, this restaurant on rue St-Denis will become your favorite destination for your outings as a couple or with friends, both to enjoy a meal and for happy hour.

Les plats gagneraient à être moins salées, peu de choix de bouteilles de vin blanc à moins de 100$ , pieuvre excellente & service excellent aussi. Merci

Very relaxing atmosphere, & a good menu if you're looking for a variety of seafood specialties, & traditional French moules frites with the chef's sauce. Ask for extra bread for dipping.

Malheureusement, je crois qu'il n'y avait pas assez de serveurs/ses pour le nombre de clients, car le services étaient extrêmement lent! 30 minutes pour obtenir le dessert! 2h30 pour l'extérience totale en raison du service. Les serveurs/ses étaient très bons/nes toutefois.

Excellent food hard to believe it’s being served in a dinner type atmosphere with music that absolutely doesn’t fit or compliment the place. Too bad so much potential
