"Seeing all the reviews here, I thought it might be interesting to share the opinion by one of the culinary elites; Gordon Ramsay’s Protégé: Jason Atherton; about Josephine’s Restaurant:“My favourite cuisine is Filipino, and you get the best Filipino food in the country at Josephine’s on Charlotte Street. My wife is loves it and she’s from the Philippines, so it must be pretty authentic. Filipino dishes are an interesting mix between Spanish and Asian flavours. They use a lot of tamarind, fish sauce and sour mango, but their international dish is Paella, because of the influx of Spanish in the Century. I go to Josephine’s for my regular fix of pork lechon, which is pork rubbed in herbs, roasted and served with garlic fried rice. Josephine’s is reasonably priced and traditionally designed with pictures of the Philippines. The owners make you feel really welcomed, so my advice is to get down there and try it.”Jason Atherton, Executive Chef for Gordon Ramsay‘s“Maze”“Maze” Restaurant was winner of Restaurant Magazine’s “Best UK Restaurant Award” and “Best English Restaurant Award” The BMW SERIES GOOD FOOD RIDE. GREAT BRITISH FOOD ADVENTURESBased on that article, I was persuaded to go with some friends to Josephine’s and we all had a wonderful time, staff were welcoming and friendly, and the food was full of flavour, varied and excellent. We had quite a lot of pork though and were quite stuffed, we waited about half an hour sipping port before going after the desserts!"
