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.

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.

Superbe belle soirée
Excellent accueil, service chaleureux
Changement de chef qui a amené un renouvellement du menu qui a satisfait tout le monde.
Petit bémol, pas beaucoup de légumes, particulièrement avec la côte de boeuf où ils étaient totalement absents...

On était un groupe de 3. On a directement été accueillis par ce que je dirai qui était le gérant ou un très bon serveur, on nous a placés dehors sur la terrasse. On était venus pour le mardi moules à volonté. Le premier service était un peu plus long, mais il y avait une bonne quantité de personnes au resto qui commandait toutes la même chose donc c'est normal, deuxième & troisième service très rapides. On a pris les 2 sortes de moules, celles à sauce Arabiata étaient exceptionnelles. On a aussi pris des bouteilles de vin Alentejo, Portugais, très bon!
Ce que j'ai aimé le plus de l'expérience était le service du gérant ou la personne responsable, il prenait le temps de parler à chaque table, tout expliquer, faire un peu de conversation & vraiment conseiller tout le monde. Chapeau! On reviendra chez Joséphine, c'est garanti!
