In the shadow of The University at Albany’s campus, Josie’s Table is a laid-back dinner and brunch spot with a focus on seasonal, local and organic ingredients.
Josie’s Table is owned by Daniel Darves-Bornoz, whose previous venture, Provence Restaurant & Wine Bar, closed after a 21 year run in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Josie’s Table opened in 2022, a collaboration between Daniel and his son Peter Darves-Bornoz, who serves as Executive Chef of the restaurant. The restaurant’s name is a tribute to Daniel’s mother, Josephine, whom he credits as fostering their love of cooking. Josie’s Table offers a seasonally rotating menu that emphasizes thoughtfully prepared farm-to-table dishes. The restaurant’s commitment to sourcing ingredients locally means that you can savor all the best flavors that Upstate New York has to offer. At Josie’s Table enjoy a delicious dish with the freshest ingredients.
Just 15 minutes from Downtown Albany, Josie’s Table is tucked into Stuyvesant Plaza, a casual shopping center close to SUNY Albany. But don’t allow this unassuming location to fool you—inside, the space is modern with a casual, upscale vibe. On the menu, you’ll find listed the local farms and vendors that the restaurant utilizes, including Maple Hill Creamery in Kinderhook and R & G Cheese Makers in Troy. Enjoy a juicy Kilcoyne Farms Beef Burger or indulge in personal Street Corn Pizza off the restaurant’s dinner menu. Visit Josie’s for brunch and savor a Stuffed Brioche French Toast or a Filet Eggs Bennie and pair it with a mimosa flight. With its plethora of shareable plates like oysters or local bread, this restaurant is the perfect spot for your next casual get together.
