Josephine brings the traditions of a classic Parisian brasserie to Old Town Alexandria. The room is the draw as much as the food: antique millwork, vintage lighting including pendants once used in the Paris Metro, and a large atrium dining room topped by a vaulted skylight give the space a theatrical, old-world feel. An intimate courtyard adds outdoor seating for 25.
The menu runs through salads, appetizers, and entrees alongside an extensive raw bar, paired with a wine list built around Champagne and old-world bottles, plus cocktails and craft ales.
Up a staircase on the third floor, Bar Jo operates as a hideaway champagne and cocktail lounge with its own fireplace, serving small bites meant to accompany sparkling wine and spirits. Regulars treat Josephine as a special-occasion destination, drawn in by the atmosphere and service as much as the seafood and cocktails.
