$$$$Price: Expensive

• French • Theater District

Booked 29 times today

The last of its kind near 42nd Street, Chez Josephine is a neighborhood gem founded in 1986 by Jean-Claude Baker as a tribute to legendary Josephine Baker. This Parisian bistro offers live piano music and a tantalizing menu in an intimate setting of red velvet walls, a cavalcade of chandeliers and a blue-tin ceiling. Guests receive a warm welcoming and are treated as family whether coming before a show, after the show, for a leisurely dinner in-between, or a drink at the bar.Chez Josephine draws a crowd unlike any other in New York as food critic Bryan Miller noted when he wrote: “The dining room is a confluence of the famous and the fashionable, the infamous and unsung – with every shade of skin on earth – and indeed you feel the magic of Chez Josephine.”

The food was superb, with the $45 prix fixe an excellent value — I had steak frites with a beet salad to start and cheesecake for dessert. Service attentive, but unobtrusive. A wonderful evening.

We went for their afternoon tea which was delightful. The room and decor were also lovely. And the service staff were welcoming, pleasant and polite. The only downside is we booked our tea for the latest time slot in the afternoon, and the elegant dining room was right next to the bar area which was already heating up with loud music and chatter. This rather shattered the quiet ambience of the dining room. Unfortunately there was no sliding door to close off the room. So lesson learned, book your afternoon tea for earlier in the day before the after hours office crowd comes in!

The food could’ve been a lot better. Got the lamb chops, but to be honest they were really small and definitely not worth the price. Cigars and service were good.
