Review: Josephine Chez Dumonet

On our trip to Paris, we decided to have an authentic French dinner and chose the infamous Josephine Chez Dumonet, located in the 6th arrodissement. The winning factor about the restaurant was their Duck Confit, after reading alot of reviews around on the internet, all of them came to the same conclusion - Josephine Chez Dumonet had some of the best duck confit you could find in Paris.

We arrived at the restaurant around 9:30pm, and found the service to be surprisingly friendly, the waiters were sympathetic to our limited French and continued to crack jokes with us throughout the night. The inside of the restaurant is supposed to be the same as it was when the restaurant opened decades ago, and really adds to the atmosphere.

To start we shared a plate of smoked salmon, followed by two orders of duck confit, and finally for dessert Y ordered the Creme Brule while M ordered the Grand Marnier Souffle

Appetizer - Smoked Salmon

Main Course - Duck Confit

Dessert - Grand Marnier Souffle

Verdict:
Apart from the friendly service, we were extremely pleased with the huge portions of food that we were given. The plate of salmon was heaping, the duck confit came with generous portions of potato and salad, and the Grand Marnier Souffle was huge! This restaurant is a great place for those who are visiting Paris and want to experience not only some traditional French Cuisine, but also a great experience at a French Restaurant.

Rating: 4.5/5
Price: $½ (around 125€ for both of us with wine)
