Chez Josephine

Chez Josephine - A Parisian Bistro with Theatrical Panache

A tribute to legendary Josephine Baker, this Parisian bistro with live music and tantalizing menu exudes theatrical panache. One of New York's most romantic restaurants, a bit of Montmartre on 42nd Street, the landmark jewel sparkles with an intimate setting of red velvet walls, a cavalcade of chandeliers and a blue-tin ceiling.

The eclectic menu reinvents the traditional cuisine of the French bistro in an explosion of tantalizing flavor. Open from 5 pm to 1 am, Jean-Claude and Jarry Baker are your warm and welcoming hosts who treat you as family whether you come before the 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.
