Jose y Josefina in Stuttgart

My family and I had a very nice evening at Jose y Josefina. You will be welcomed very politely and friendly. The service is absolutely courteous. The food was absolutely delicious. We can give a 150% recommendation here. Thank you...

We are thrilled. The food is stunningly good, the service is excellent and the ambience and mood in the restaurant is beautiful and vital

All great. The restaurant, the staff, the food, ... 👍

A mega Spaniard, we were a bit skeptical at first due to the higher prices and the few bad reviews. We still treated ourselves to the visit last evening. From taking off my jacket and accompanying me to the table to just asking if everything was okay, it was just nice all around. The food was amazing and tasted great. The two of us paid €120, with tapas and two drinks each. Something special for us but absolutely worth the money!

Great food, friendly staff and unbeatable atmosphere 🫶

Mein Sohn hatte Geburtstag und wir haben dort zu Abend gegessen. Sowohl das Ambiente als auch der sehr freundliche Service haben uns überzeugt. Das Konzept der Küche ist vielfältig: man kann verschiedene Gerichte zum Teilen bestellen oder auch Tellergerichte. Wir waren begeistert vom Geschmack: der rote Tunfisch ist etwas ganz Besonderes, auch das Roastbeef ist zu empfehlen. Der ganze Abend war rundum gelungen: sehr gutes Essen mit gutem Wein - wir kommen gerne wieder!!

Very nice service, not intrusive but still courteous. The prices are high, but so is the quality of the dishes and you will really feel full.

Beautiful evening in a great atmosphere, incredibly good food and wonderful hosts.

A culinary dream journey through Spanish cuisine and its hospitality. All dishes are super fresh and excellent. Whether fish, meat or vegetables. I recommend eating with several people to share several dishes. The atmosphere is also very appealing and the staff is very nice. Visitors from outside always come straight here

Unfortunately I can't give a review regarding the food. But what I can do is give an assessment of today's phone call. I have to say, even in the rancidest restaurants, I've never been spammed at like this waitress, it's a shame I don't know her name. I called the restaurant to ask if there was a table available for today. The waitress on the phone immediately said “No.” When I asked again if there really wasn’t a table available, I was shouted at in an unfriendly tone: “Hello, today is Valentine’s Day, what do you think?” Of course, I understand that there is a lot going on on Valentine's Day, but a friendly tone should still be a given. When I pointed out that that's not the way to talk to guests, she simply hung up on me. That's not how you treat people. For me, this restaurant is a done deal. If you treat your potential guests this way, you shouldn't be surprised about bad reviews.

Small but nice. Since the tables are close together, it is very loud.

We always enjoy going to Jose y Josefina. The food is super tasty and the service is also extremely good :-)

This was our third time here and it was always delicious and a nice atmosphere

A very nice restaurant. Totally friendly staff. The food is a complete pleasure. I will definitely come back. I can only recommend it.

Very nice restaurant with high quality Spanish tapas. Prices raised. Dessert was fantastic and so was the sangria

The best Spanish restaurant in and around Stuttgart. Great restaurant with a stylish ambience, with upscale and creative cuisine. I would love to come back. Saludos Mentor 😉

We had mixed feelings after our visit. In summary, the dishes are authentic and tasty but the price is a bit excessive. The service varies and depends heavily on the respective waiter. The dining room is quite loud and the seating is very tight. A little more detailed: We showed up 10 minutes before the reserved time and were very rudely told by the waitress that we were “too early” and that we should please come back in “10 minutes at the earliest”. No word of regret and no offer to sit at another free table (or an outside table with a blanket) for the time being. This is unprofessional for a service provider and I have never encountered such behavior in any restaurant. The guest is literally left “out in the rain”. That was an extremely bad start to the evening. The waiter who looked after us afterwards was nice and helpful. The food was authentic and delicious like in Spain, but at many times the price. The tables are very close together and you are forced to listen to the words of the person sitting next to you.

Very good restaurant, we received it as a gift this evening and were very satisfied. However, there is one downer that I don't want to include in the review, but which should still be mentioned: the parking options on a Saturday evening are catastrophic. That's why I (from outside) would strongly consider visiting again.

Very expensive and the food was normal. I don't recommend.

Very pleasant and upscale atmosphere.

Very rich food and drinks Map . There is a meal for everyone who loves Iberian cuisine Local is run by Spaniards.

Amazing food and wines and super friendly and attentive service. Beautiful atmosphere. Price/quality is a 10 out of 10.

Truly amazing experience! Excellent food, impeccable service and cozy atmosphere.

Comida simplesmente excelente, ambiente agradável e atendimento impecável! O preço é justo e excedeu muito as expectativas.

As always, a super authentic meal, with nice service and a nice ambience. It's understandable that it's not cheap, otherwise I would probably be here more often 😀.

There is some of the best food in the region, easily 10/10. The service is perfect, the staff is attentive and makes you feel comfortable, impeccable! I will come back more often

Wir sind sehr herzlich empfangen worden, hatten einen schönen Tisch und wurden aufmerksam bedient und gut beraten. Unsere Vorstellung über das Essen wurde übertroffen. Wir hatten nur fünf Tapas und waren angenehm satt.

Excellent food, great selection. Very friendly and courteous service. Cozy. Price/performance ratio appropriate. Definitely reserve early. A great evening and we will definitely be back. Also easy to reach by public transport, just 3 minutes from the Schwabstraße S-Bahn

The best Spanish restaurant I've eaten at in a long time. When you open the menu you don't know what to choose at first - the selection is absolutely fantastic. If you can't decide, that's not a problem - the excellent and very friendly service will put together a great selection of tapas for you. Even when it comes to main courses, one is better than the other. We felt very comfortable, the food and wine were excellent. It should definitely be reserved. The parking situation is difficult and it is better to come by public transport

Very tasty food, great service. Everything is just great!

Very tasty food, good service, nice atmosphere. Everything is just right there.

Everything is just great. It's not just the starters that are amazing, the black paella is great, the dessert is delicious. And... Sonja and Juan the best!

Nice restaurant, friendly service and good food.

Went for a ladies' night dinner. Shared tapas and entrée. Delicious food and wine. When I had an inquiry leading up to the night, they quickly replied to email.

Die Location großartig, Tapas und Dessert unglaublich köstlich, die Fischpaella hat uns allerdings nicht überzeugt, wenig Fisch, trocken und der Reis war sehr klebrig - schade. Tapas immer wieder sehr gerne 🤩

The staff demonstrated a commendable level of professionalism, kindness, and friendliness, which can often be a rarity in Stuttgart. The ambiance was delightful—clean, romantic, and inviting—creating a charming setting for our visit. The food was enjoyable, though some menu items appeared to be a bit on the pricier side. While the meat paella had a distinct flavor, its consistency was more reminiscent of a rice soup than the traditional dish. Additionally, the steak portions were smaller than anticipated, which contributed to the perception of having overpaid for rice. However, the octopus stood out as exceptional, and the croquetas were quite tasty, albeit with a bit of room for improvement regarding their oiliness, suggesting a potential need for fresher oil. Overall, our experience was positive. With some adjustments—especially to the meat paella and portion sizes—the dining experience could be significantly enhanced. The flavors were indeed impressive, and a greater focus on texture would elevate the meal further. It was noteworthy to observe that tipping is highly encouraged here, as it is not a common practice in Germany, which may leave some diners feeling somewhat uncomfortable, contrasting with the admirable work ethic displayed. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit, appreciating the excellent food, attentive service, and lovely atmosphere of the restaurant.

We tried to make a reservation at least 10 times on different days and it didn't work. The confirmation came, but my host's credit card number was still given, so it didn't work. I don't have one myself and couldn't have made a reservation there myself. Neither does he. There must also be ways to get in with cash. I don't think it's fair. The food looks great, but it just doesn't work!

I really like Jose y Josefina! For us, Jose is something special that we love to visit for nice evenings with friends. Many thanks to Sonja and Juan for living this place for us. We look forward to our next visit with you.

I visited this restaurant on October 22nd. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, and all the staff were very professional and friendly. It was truly a pleasure to eat here!

I made a reservation citing a romantic evening, and even though we were the first guests, we were initially assigned a table in the middle of the restaurant. However, at our request we were able to move to a quieter corner table. We ordered four dishes but one was delivered incorrectly and later replaced. The octopus and croquettes were really good, but the padrón peppers could have been better. Unfortunately, the fried sardines weren't good at all - I don't understand why a dish like this is on the menu in such an upscale restaurant. The house wine was OK but nothing special. The bill was high as expected, however the automatic addition of 10% gratuity, which was not previously announced, was surprising. All in all, it was okay to give it a try, but the value for money was rather disappointing. I would only recommend it if you're willing to pay for the ambience, as the food and service didn't really justify the high prices.

Excellent cuisine, great ambience and very good staff. We'll be back.

Great restaurant. Great food. Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly service. Of course more expensive. But good staff must also be well paid

Very very tasty tapas and wine. Extremely and remarkably friendly and courteous staff. Just go - it's worth it! Reserve!!

I ordered the Calamari Fries and Paella was really delicious. The staff very polite and Kind. Definitely best Spanish Restaurant in town!! The House wine was also fit to the food❤️‍🔥

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend zu zweit im Jose y Josefina! Als Vorspeise gab es die hausgemachten Kroketten gefüllt mit Knoblauch-Garnelen. Eine echte Gaumenfreude - sehr fein zubereitet, cremig, zart, knusprig und ein tolles Meeresaroma. Eine Fischpaella (Seeteufel, Tintenfisch, Calamares, Garnelen, Miesmuscheln und Venusmuscheln) hatten wir als Hauptgang - ein Gedicht. Cremige Konsistenz mit leichtem Biss und aromatische Meeresfrüchte in der Paella. Die einzeln marinierten Meeresfrüchte auf der Paella sind die Kirche auf der Torte! Der Flan mit Karamellsoße an Kaffee-Creme mit Cookie-Eis war der krönende Abschluss. Dieser wurde uns garniert mit einer Kerze und einem spontanen Ständchen des Teams serviert! Echt herzerweichend! Allem in allem ein Abend, der in Erinnerung bleiben wird - nicht zuletzt wegen des tollen Teams! Ein Restaurant, dem verdient nachgesagt wird “der beste Spanier Stuttgarts” und seiner Empfehlung im Gault&Millau 2020 zu 100% gerecht wird. Das wird sicher nicht das letzte Mal gewesen sein, dass wir Jose y Josefina besucht haben.

Servicio y atención excelente y los alimentos extraordinario todo hecho al momento con detalle en los ingredientes de calidad y la presentación de platos. Cava con valor la recomendación de Andy muy buena. Y el ambiente inmejorable

Upscale tapas in a vibrant neighborhood. Really enjoyed our experience here. The pan con tomate (made with Cristal bread) was as good as anything we’ve had in Barcelona. The albondigas, patatas bravas and croquettas were solid as well. Will be back for the pan con tomate + iberico ham and to try more dishes! Good sangria as well.

I've had this place on my list for a long time. What I can say is that I didn't need to put off the visit so long :) I have nothing to complain about, everything was 1A, no ifs or buts. Contrary to expectations, the portions are generous and very good. The service is authentic and unobtrusive, always available. The atmosphere outside is also very cozy. We would be happy to come back.

If you told me that I was going to eat ham and paella in Stuttgart and that it would be good, I wouldn't believe it. But, indeed, good quality ham and delicious paella.

Really a grea spanish restaurant with great food and wines!

The food is quite good, but the price/performance ratio doesn't match. The paella has a lot of room for improvement.

The food was very tasty! The atmosphere was also cozy and the staff was very nice and accommodating. However, the prices are really high and unfortunately the portions are far too small. If you come here very hungry, you should order two dishes (lamb chops).

Sehr schönes Lokal im Stuttgarter Westen. Parken kann hier ein sehr großes Problem werden. Sehr nettes Team, die sich anscheinend auch untereinander gut verstehen. Das Essen ein Träumchen. Wir waren sicher nicht das letzte Mal hier. 3 unterschiedliche Tapas für Zwei waren absolut ausreichend.

Sensational, very, very wonderful food - absolutely recommended 👍

Lovely Spanish restaurant with some of the best croquettes I’ve ever had. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. The paella had a unique flavor. The staff were very friendly and were kind enough to run after when I forgot my bag at the restaurant.

Well attended. Reserve in good time.

Very, very tasty but also really expensive.

Attractive location, good food, nice service.

Everything was just perfect. The food and the service. We had paella with crabs. But I have to warn that there are a lot of crabs, one per person. Reservations are also recommended. We were there on a Tuesday and it was very busy.

When we wanted to make a reservation for a larger group, we were told by email that a binding (!) menu would be offered for reservations of 7 people or more. This menu costs €69 per person plus drinks; orders à la carte are not possible given our group size. The credit card should also be stored in a separate reservation system. What justification and strategy the restaurant apparently uses to scare away larger groups is a mystery to me. Unfortunately I can't say anything about the food, service or ambience.

Very tasty, rather higher price range, but justified.

The atmosphere is nice and the staff is also very friendly. However, the prices are very high. A glass of red wine costs 13.50 euros. We ordered a starter for just under 20 euros, which wouldn't be enough for one person and certainly not for two to share. The paella is overpriced in my opinion as it costs over 60 euros for two people and is 80% rice. If you think about real paella in Spain, you will unfortunately be very disappointed here. We paid over 120 euros for two people and were still hungry afterwards.

Disappointed by the paella. The prices are very high and the rice was overcooked and tasteless

The food is good. But it's expensive.

Seit ungefähr einem Jahr war ich wieder in José y Josefina und fand alles tadellos. Service, Wein (Godello und Mencía aus dem Bierzo) und vor allem das feine, absolut frisch zubereitete Essen: Croquetas, Patatas Bravas, ein ausgezeichneter Arroz negro und eine feine Crema de la Abuela.

Good, in my opinion, but a bit overrated.

German prices are chaotic and fast Not qualified to accept and escape Pair Ang small bar The seat is expensive!

Abbiamo ordinato croquetas, paella con pesce e una bottiglia di vino. L’antipasto ci è stato servito prima del vino e la bottiglia è stata aperta in cucina e non davanti a noi come è buona regola fare. Le croquetas erano appena tiepide. Il pesce nella paella era di bassa qualità poiché aveva un saporaccio forte e sgradevole. Per sicurezza, ne ho scartato la maggior parte. Io sono stata in Spagna decine di volte e i gusti spagnoli sono ben lontani dall’esperienza in questo ristorante. Costo eccessivo per la scarsa qualità della materia prima. Unica nota positiva la location.

Super nice staff, top menu - everything looks great (the eye can see it) and tastes great too. Absolutely recommended.

We went to Jose & Josefina for the first time on Monday to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was really something special. Here you can really say: THE ENTIRE PACKAGE is right. A super nice atmosphere, extremely friendly, attentive staff and simply fantastic food. We would love to come back.

Food, service, ambience. Everything just fit wonderfully. Spent a wonderful evening for two. The waiter was very attentive and had a pleasant manner. You could almost have thought you were in Spain. This is the third time we've eaten in the restaurant and we'll definitely be back. However, you have to bring the necessary money with you. Quality has its price.

Klasse Essen, sehr angenehmer Service, schönes Ambiente. Wir hatten zu zweit 4 Tappas was völlig ausreichend war. Gerne wieder

We reserved a table on Friday. Our expectations were high as one of our group had already dined there and was very satisfied. This time the bar was even higher because a Spaniard came along. The drinks were ordered quickly and arrived quickly. As a greeting from the house there were very tasty olives with white bread. The menu made choosing difficult - everything sounded really tasty. We then stuck to tapas. These came at short intervals so that we could all eat together. As usual, everyone helped themselves to everything. Each of the tapas was really tasty. The house salsa was impressive for the patatas bravas - it was incredibly tasty. The Pimientos de Padron were very good. The Croquetas Caseras were excellent, crispy on the outside, the filling was juicy and well seasoned. The Albondigas were also juicy and the sauce was spicy. My personal highlight was the Aguacate a la plancha en salsa romesco y verduritas. Immediately afterwards comes the Pulpo a la brasa - soft but still with a bit of a bite, the taste is simply great. A homemade ajoli was also served, which couldn't be made better. The portion size is absolutely ample, 5 tappas for 5 people, no room left for dessert. We were all thrilled - it was a very successful evening. Our Spanish guest said that he has had the best Spanish food here since he has lived in Germany - that is now 7 years. So compliments to Jose y Josefina. Many grachias and security guards with a revolver.

Once again with Jose and Josefina, of course with such delicious food and such a selection you have to come more often. Staff super friendly and competent. The menu is extensive and very interesting, not just what you get elsewhere. The only thing I didn't like was the garlic chicken. Dry and without tomato sauce, strange?! But since the four of us ordered a lot of different dishes, it wasn't a problem. What is also a bit annoying is the narrowness in the back of the restaurant, especially when it is warm.

Super nice cozy restaurant. The service is more than just good!!!! The food is very, very tasty and can only be recommended. I really like the ambience and furnishings of the restaurant. We'd love to come back!

Great Spanish restaurant! Good food, great wines. Unfortunately you cannot reserve on the terrace.

Hab im Raum Stuttgart noch nie so gut und authentisch die spanische Küche genossen. Authentisches Ambiente, erstklassiges Essen und ein fantastischer Service. Auf jeden Fall vorher reservieren.

It is expensive but the dishes are good and the service is good.

If these guys installed an AC, this place would be paradise! If these guys installed air conditioning this place would be paradise!

Very good cuisine and great service. Tapas at a very high level. You can taste that the products are also very high quality.

Absolutely brilliant: ambience, service and then the food. It couldn't be better!

Croquetas raffinée et délicieux ! Entrée magique paella succulante service impeccable on a envie d’y retourner on se croirait en Espagne

very tasty fine spanish food we‘ll be back :)

Super tasty paella 🥘 top service. Gladly again! 👍🏻

We arrived late and just wanted a drink, although there were a few free tables. Were greeted unfriendly and sent away with the remark that this was a restaurant and that we would like to eat something... Elsewhere around the corner it was much more relaxed...

Very tasty food. Excellent service. Highly recommended.

Great food - super friendly - perfect

Always a pleasure - everything great if not superior so I only come up with 2 things which haven't been perfect. My lady saw a meal online which actually wasn't on the current menu + the piggy wasn't actually warm. What was the best part ? I don't even know everything super tasty, great wines super nice service - seee yaaalll again 😁

Great restaurant, excellent tapas

Super delicious food and concept. A bit irritating that you “only” have one time slot.

We didn't have a reservation that day and it was raining heavily. The manager still found a way to get us a table and gave us a good dining experience. The food was also very delicious.

We had a wonderful evening with very tasty food

Absolute recommendation🤩 great Spaniard. Very nice service, great wine list and excellent food. We ordered paella. One with meat and one vegetarian. It tasted excellent. Overall, a well-rounded affair.

Like a dinner on vacation in Spain❤️ Great place, super nice service and great food😋 Unconditionally 5 stars

Ambience and service are great! The wine too. However, the food was only partial. The vegetarian paella and some tapas such as the patatas are not worth their price. Overall everything was very expensive.

We had a lovely evening there with great food.

The restaurant is very nicely decorated - a feel-good atmosphere. We didn't like the outside area that much, right on the street, on the sidewalk. Service was very friendly and extremely attentive. Now about the food: We ordered various tapas, along with rosé wine, water and dessert. The tapas were very nicely prepared, although some were a bit blandly seasoned, especially the roasted tomato bread with Iberico ham, which simply tasted boring. I also found the dessert - puff pastry with vanilla cream and ice cream disappointing. The fruit ice cream didn't suit my taste at all; an unusual milk or cream ice cream would have been better.

Great service, great food. Not cheap, but real added value! Absolute recommendation

Beautiful restaurant, super stylishly furnished with an extremely high feel-good factor. The service - simply great: authentic, friendly, professional. About the food: Very few people can deliver this quality, so fresh, tasty and superbly prepared - you can!!! Every course is a sensation and the wine list still makes my heart beat faster. Dear Juan and José y Josefina team - this is gastronomy at its best. The reason why people go out and enjoy life. Thank you for your hospitality and see you again very soon!!!!!!!

Excellent quality and service, I recommend it 100%
