Charming Clerkenwell French bistro with polished service, classic dishes, and a cozy room; strong highs on steak frites, mussels, and escargots, but pacing and reservation/cancellation rules can frustrate.
Josette delivers exceptional food quality anchored by standout steak frites, escargots, and mussels prepared with genuine technique and care. Warm, attentive service and a charming Parisian-style setting create an inviting experience, though occasional pacing inconsistencies and moderate portions prevent grade A territory. A reliable neighborhood favorite that exceeds typical bistro standards.
One caveat: Service pacing varies—occasional long waits or end-of-night rushing reported
