If you’re looking for a Flagstaff dining experience that feels both personal and elevated, Josephine’s delivers on every level. Located inside a charming Craftsman-style bungalow just north of downtown, this locally owned restaurant has been serving memorable meals since 2002. Chef Tony Cosentino opened Josephine’s in honor of his late mother, and that sense of family and pride carries through every part of the experience.
A Legacy of Hospitality
Chef Tony runs the kitchen while his wife Marlene manages the front of house, creating a well-balanced and thoughtful operation. Together, they’ve created more than a restaurant. Josephine’s is a place where locals gather, visitors return, and the food tells a story. The house itself adds to the welcoming atmosphere with its warm interiors, wood accents, and relaxed elegance that reflects Flagstaff’s unique charm.
Brunch, Dinner, and Everything in Between
Josephine’s is known for its diverse and seasonally inspired menu. Brunch favorites include avocado toast and the namesake Josephine’s eggs benedict, both popular for good reason. Dinner offerings bring depth and richness, from queso fundido and crab cakes to slow-braised short ribs and the signature Flagstaff burger. Every dish is made with care, using high quality ingredients and bold, balanced flavors.
Cocktails, Wine, and More
The drink program at Josephine’s is as well thought out as the food. Their wine list offers a mix of familiar favorites and interesting finds, all chosen to complement the menu. Cocktails are made with precision and lean into both classic and creative territory. Whether you’re stopping in for a drink and a small bite or sitting down for a full dinner, the experience feels curated and consistent.
