Josephine’s Modern American Bistro

Placed in the National Historic Register for its architectural elements of Craftsman Bungalow architecture, this restaurant feels like the secret dining area of someone’s home. Take in the pleasant temperatures of Flagstaff's warmer weather days as you sit at the patio area of Josephine’s Modern American Bistro.

Three different dishes from Josephine's Modern American Bistro in Flagstaff.

Ko Ki Yo

“Daebak” means awesome in Korean, but if it had a food translation, it would taste like the first flavorful bite of any dish at Ko Ki Yo. Traditional Korean dishes are elevated to a garlicky and spicy perfection at this eatery. Ko Ki Yo’s minimalist space lets you focus on the Korean chili pepper-infused fiesta that’s happening to your taste buds. Another essential element of Korean cuisine is a no-waste approach to each dish, so you can rest assured that no ingredient is spared in the kitchen. We suggest trying the hot stone bibimbap (a rice bowl dish) for a well-rounded and nutritious bite, or the house fried chicken for a succulent culinary experience. | Location: 116 S San Francisco St

“This restaurant is a can’t miss if you are local to Flagstaff or a visitor looking for a great restaurant experience.” - Tripadvisor

Combine your beer with a piece of history as you enter the Lumberyard Brewing Company in downtown Flagstaff. Preserving the space of a former lumberyard factory is a sustainable hallmark of the brewery. Lumberyard Brewing Company serves craft beer and hearty bar fare in a bubbly atmosphere. Graze on a shareable plate like the garlic truffle fries, or quell your hunger with the BBQ pulled pork sandwich. | Location: 5 S San Francisco St
