Joséphine - Montréal

I went to dinner with a friend and really enjoyed my starters of oysters with mignonette, as well as my main dish of seared scallops and mussels. My friend liked his meal too, but unfortunately, he ended up feeling very sick afterward and spent the entire night in the bathroom. When we brought this to the restaurant's attention, they responded by stating that they always prepare their dishes properly and wished him a speedy recovery. Suffice it to say, we will not be returning.

The food was decent. I ordered the Zarzuela, which was supposed to include seafood. I found shrimp and a piece of fish, but no scallops, just a small bit of calamari. While the fish was nice, overall, I expected more from the dish. The atmosphere was stylish, but the service was quite slow.

The decor is stunning, and the staff is both friendly and professional. While I might not return specifically for the food—it wasn't particularly memorable—I would definitely come back just to enjoy a cocktail at the bar.

We had an amazing evening! Every dish was truly exceptional, and Arianna provided us with excellent service. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! We will definitely be back soon.

Recommend this restaurant. The food is wonderful and the room is bright and beautifully decorated. We loved the grilled oyster mushrooms... so good! Both the lobster Risotto and the Moule Friten were amazing. Nothing but praise for this menu.
