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.”

I have been to Chez Josephine many times. It is my favorite restaurant, not only because of the food but because of the great tribute to Josephine Baker an African-American pioneer entertainer in many ways. There is beautiful art work, lithographs and such all throughout the the restaurant. The bathroom is always very clean and there are imprints of Josephine on the thick napkins. Very nice touch. The kitchen is always clean with an open door. I always go in and Thank the Chef.

The lamb chops my wife had were incredible. Offer them rare and you will probably get medium rare. I had the sea bass and it was delicious.

Kazon was our server and he made our experience perfect. His timing on taking care of myself and my guests, along with his suggestions were brilliant. A must visit anytime of the year, but especially special during the holidays. We did dress for the occasion, and I highly recommend doing so. You experience a level of fine dining while being accompanied by fellow guests with the same taste, it’s a lovely way to slow time down in the busy hustle of Manatan❤️
