A photo of Justine's Brasserie restaurant

From the moment we walked into Justine's, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance. The restaurant's French-inspired decor and dim lighting created a romantic and intimate atmosphere, perfect for a date night or a special occasion. As for the food, we were blown away by the quality and flavors of every dish we ordered. The steak frites were cooked to perfection, with tender and juicy meat and crispy fries that were seasoned just right. The bolognaise was equally impressive, with a rich tomato sauce and perfectly al dente pasta. But what really stole the show were the Espresso Martinis - the best we've ever had! The balance of espresso and alcohol was spot on, and the drink had a smooth and velvety texture that made it dangerously easy to drink. Overall, Justine's is a must-visit restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious and memorable dining experience. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, the ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the food and drinks were exceptional. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!

This place is totally unassuming, tucked into a strip mall, humble table settings…do not let this deter you. This place serves love on a plate. The wine glasses are sparkling. The dishes are bright, richly spiced, beautifully plated— both classic and contemporary Indian and Nepalese fare. The service was familial—many hands and watchful eyes made sure we were cared for—often providing us with little extras, a special mango-yogurt beverage for my son, some delicate peppered crisps. The samosas are giant delicate mountains, the MoMo are both crisp and tender… and that was just the beginning.
