We had an amazing time. We learned of Joe Beef from an Anthony Bourdain special last year, and in March of this year we learned we were going to move here. We’ve been planning to go here since we arrived in August, and were finally able to make it. It was everything we hoped it would be, and we were able to try some amazing dishes. Staff are extremely attentive, knowledgeable and engaging. Definitely the first of many visits while we live here.

Very pleasant space with an elegant menu and well stocked bar. Right next to the Place des Arts Metro entrance so you can get there after your show underground without having to trudge through the snow.
