Review Summary

Reviews of Joséphine describe a warm, cozy seafood focused spot with attentive service and creative, fresh dishes. Diners praise the oyster bar, mussels and fries, lobster ravioli, and a well balanced tasting menu, along with thoughtful wine pairings and a piano ambiance that adds charm. The atmosphere is repeatedly noted as welcoming and intimate, with staff who accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions, and many say the experience is worth returning for, including occasions like MTL à Table events, though a few mentions of small portions or higher prices appear from some visits.

Le changement de chef & de menu est décevant. Ce n'est plus du tout la même qualité ni la même recherche gastronomique qu'avant. Nous étions des habituées, mais nous ne retournerons plus.

Cuisine recherchée. Bon produits. Le dimanche, le vin & les bulles sont à moitié prix.

Le pain n'est pas compris. Je n'avais encore jamais vu ça dans un restaurant de fruits de mer. Dommage.

Attention à la désinfection des tables entre deux clients. Les chaises ne sont pas faites systématiquement.
En revanche les cocktails étaient très sympa & les moules toujours aussi bonnes.
Grande préférence tout de même pour celles de la semaine dernière (crème de maïs & coriandre)

La bouffe est excellente! Félicitations au chef & à l'équipe. Nous nous sommes régalé. Belle place, belle ambiance, bon service, plats succulents.
Je recommande vivement.
Le seul commentaire est en lien avec l'éclairage dans les toilettes pour femme qui est mal réparti & aveuglant.
J'y retournerai sans hésiter!
