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.

Superbe resto. L'entrée (salade de betteraves) était aussi bonne que belle. Par contre, le plat principal (gnocchis végés aux champignons & à la roquette) n'était vraiment pas bon. Ça ne goûtait que l'amertume intense de la roquette, ça manquait de sel... sinon, le personnel est affable & attentionné.

Bonne bouffe mais c'est pas qu'on ne sort pas souvent mais les cocktails sont ridiculement petits pour 18$. On veut bien encourager les restos durant cette pandémie mais il ne faut pas exagérer.
