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 zinc 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.”

We had a fabulous time. The waiter was friendly and helpful. The maitre d checked in on us twice, which made us feel very taken care of. The appetizers were out of this world delicious. Extra extra delicious. The cocktails were superb. The only criticism I would give is that the steak we requested to be medium, was served as medium well, and we would have appreciated replenishment on the bread and water. And the baklava for the price we paid was a bit too small and not too tasty. Overall, we really enjoyed the ambience, which was extremely romantic and mostly all the food was very delicious.

Chez Josephine has been one of our favorite Manhattan restaurants for many years. This time we dined late, and the restaurant was very quiet, though even when it's been busy, it's always possible to hear over the energetic background. After splitting an excellent crab cake, our main courses were the roast duck breast and the rack of lamb. Both were absolutely outstanding, as were the cocktails. Chez Josephine has my personal guarantee: If you're not completely satisfied with the food, call me and I'll come down and eat it for you.
