Best Lunch Restaurants in Old Town Alexandria

Josephine's is becoming one of our favorite spots in Old Town Alexandria. Great service. We usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are the best. The restaurant itself is gorgeous with plenty of quiet spots for conversation. Food is great. The menu is small, which means the food will be better quality. We went for Thanksgiving and could get the traditional meal or go with our favorites.

A busy time at the restaurant serving on Thanksgiving. Still they make the effort to individually welcome their guests. Service might have been slow at times but who wants to rush a holiday dinner. Raw oyster appetizer was outstanding. Not a lot one can do to make a traditional turkey dinner over the top. All was very good, wished the green beans were cooked longer but that’s the way French influenced restaurants like to prepare them.

The food was great. We did a set price menu. I don’t know if they have it all the time but we had 4 courses for 49$ and they were terrific. Our waiter was great attentive and had good suggestions. Can’t wait to go back.

Perfect place to enjoy family and great food! We’ll be back for sure! Pro-tip: try the cheese bread with the marinara sauce on the side! That could have been my whole meal and I would have been perfectly happy:)

We celebrated a birthday lunch with friends and everything was great—food, service,value—and even a birthday table setting! Great day!
