"Brunch at Josephine House feels a little like dining at a friend’s (very nice) house. And the best part is that it’s available all week. This is one of our favorite spots in Clarksville for healthy-ish dishes—like the rice bowl served with roasted and pickled vegetables, arugula, and a poached egg. Grab some fresh-baked scones for the table, then make the difficult decision between citrus-cured lox and lemon ricotta pancakes. Better yet, just order both. There’s also a small menu of fresh-squeezed juices, just be ready to shell out $10 for a glass of (admittedly very good) OJ." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
"Book it to this new Clarksville restaurant for brunch available any day of the week. Available daily from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Josephine House’s New American brunch promises classics such as pastries, lemon ricotta pancakes, and shrimp and grits, with Austin touches like huevos rancheros. The corresponding drinks menu aligns with equally picturesque cocktails, wines, and fresh juices. Inside this converted house is a stunning Architectural Digest spread waiting to happen, with smooth marble countertops, midcentury wooden furniture, and grainy reclaimed wood floors. Outside is a gorgeous patio with black and white umbrellas shading the tables. Brunch is available from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Start your weekend just west of Downtown at this elegant little house in Clarksville with picture-perfect scenery and baked goods. Dishes like the heirloom rice bowl and avocado toast will make you feel at least slightly healthy, and if you want something sweet, be sure to order the kouign amann or Nutella morning bun." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"Just off West Lynn in Clarksville, Josephine House is where weekday brunch doubles as an elegant lunch escape. The daily menu, available from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., includes a Nutella morning bun, a burger layered with Gruyère and a farm egg, and several other polished takes on daytime classics. Whether seated inside the sunlit cottage or under the ivy-covered pergola, the whole experience feels like a pause button for the day." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Located in one of Austin’s most charming neighborhoods, inside an even more charming house, Josephine House is ideal if you have one of those jobs where you can “work remote” and start your morning off at a slower pace. Really enjoy that first cup of coffee and sit outside on the patio—especially when the weather is on point. Menu-wise, there’s everything from fancy cereal to huevos rancheros, and you really can’t go wrong here." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
