Josephine on 12th Avenue South is another experience we wanted to share with you all... Simply fantastic! It was on our restaurant bucket list... Scroll down to watch our adventure!

The menu at Josephine is designed to be eaten in four courses: bites, vegetables, noodles and dumplings, and (finally) meats and fish. However, we found that we wanted to try lots of things when we went and simply ended up "splitting" evedything we ordered!

via

We've tried a few different things on the menu including the:
-Pretzel rolls (bites)
-Brussel sprouts (vegetables)
-Dumplings (noodles and dumplings)
-Josephine steak (meats and fish)

If we were to suggest anything, it would be the brussel sprouts... The best we have ever had... and we are harsh food critiques!

There are so many cool and exiting places popping up on Rue de 12th (12th Avenue South). Grab a Josephine matchbox on your way out for a little souvenir.

Have fun, and remember to go to Josephine (indulge a little)! Live life a little more, and, of course, live life fashionably.
