Cocotte (Closed)

Three-course lunch ($180) Another good find in Shin Hing Street- like Figaro right across the street, cocotte is also a small French bistro but with a more formal setting. I went there on a weekday for lunch and it was packed (reservation is a must)"!) The tuna 🐟 salad was light, refreshing and flavourful, one of the best I've had this year. 🐮 Steak was good but nothing impressive. The fries 🍟 on the side were incredibly delicious- not so oily, freshly fried, crispy on the outside... I had to su

Came here with my girfriends for a saturday brunch and catch up. Ordered a seabass which came with a strong too fishy smell, poorer quality than much other restaurants that are less pretentious... Not coming back though the cafe au lait was quite nice!

I've posted my photos. Should be the latest for this restaurant. They changed chef recently so don't bother to go because the food is horrible. The staff try to put up a brave face... I actually felt sorry for them because we were just here weeks ago. How low have they fallen... yuck

COCO下午茶後，兩母子又出發往中環，赴另一場法式約會；餐廳是靠近九記牛腩的 Cocotte，身處橫街又呈半開放式的格局，的確很有法國小店的感覺。 連店內氣氛也是一樣輕鬆寫意而不拘束，帶著好動囝來，他偶爾跑出跑入，問題也不大。很不同的，是廚神對煮食的認真有要求，當日所吃的多項菜式，都深具水準，故在較晚的時間，吸引了大批老饕前來光顧。 吃法國菜，來點葡萄酒是常識吧？當然小孩例外，囝囝就乖乖吃麵包籃吧，質素都挺不錯呢。 很快的，首道 Lobster Bisque 上檯了！樸素無華的龍蝦湯味道鮮甜，一點苦味都沒有，而且份量超慷慨，兩母子一起飲也未能完全KO（當然與之前下午茶也有關係！），非常抵飲，不過並不是常設 menu 項目，想點要看運氣，又或試著訂位時預約一下～ 另一款非常設的 Burrata Cheese 更加迷死人了！超巨大的芝士破開，嫩滑的中央呈半流心，加上清甜番茄，以及橄欖油珠珠，好吃不得了；搞笑是囝囝一試，有感驚為天人，馬上跟媽媽說要整個吃，會不會太識食了啊？ 然後 for sharing 的主菜 Beef "Ribeye Tournedos"(500g, $700) 也上檯了

生得晚,在這個時代,感受不到巴黎的美..舊電影𥚃呈現的城市和人物,也許是如實寫照,不過現在看來只是偏遠的夢.今天的巴黎一點也不可愛,其中餐飲服務業者態度,更令人恨得牙癢;或者你會説巴黎人本該酷酷,對不起,如何界定巴黎人涉及到形而上的層面,而簡單説來臭臉跟裝酷完全是兩回事.是夜餐聚,曾經留法的朋友選了Cocotte,她對巴黎情有獨鍾,彷彿第二家鄉,即使是變調的味道,也是美好.步出上環地鐵站,經過迂迴的路徑,終於找到位於善慶街的小店,幾位外藉女仕在門㾿品酒抽煙,大門趟開,濃烈瘀味飄進室內.餐廳不大,廿來座位;佈置骨仔裝潢歐陸,其中特別喜歡花紋壁紙的配搭,滿有時尚感,首個印象不差.我們選了支白酒,兩份Discovery Menu(@$390),另散點小吃和主菜.Bourgogne Aligoté, Roux Père et Flls 2011($400),Pinot Noir混合葡萄釀製,dry而不失芳香,配合三文魚料理,還算理想.36 months Bellota Ham($120)-咸香Bellota,伴以少許羅文生菜.Mixed Tapas Platter($330)-Tapenade

Had dinner with a girlfriend late on a Monday night at this French restaurant I've been meaning to try for ages. I love their location on the laid-back streets of Noho, just down a few steps from Hollywood Road. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here if not for their aloof-to-the-point-of-being-unwelcoming service. The blonde  waitress - in true Parisian style - was the opposite of warm. The nice guy down a few more steps and across at Figaro is wayyy more pleasant and gives off suc

Good food, good portion, attentive and friendly service, comfortable setting. The drawbacks?Food menu is not extensive, just 5-6 options in each appetiser and main category plus some sides and a tasting menu, mainly consisting of seafood. Meat choice only comes with beef. Being a non beef eater and picky with seafood, I had struggled with my choice of food. The wine list is also quite brief.Location a tad remote.

又是週末食玩瞓的一天，參考open rice 的評價後,好想試試這家小店。小店位於小街，頗為難搵。座位十數個，今天沒有set lunch 只有brunch .我點了egg benedict 而hubby 則點steak and egg.Egg benedict 的smoke salmon 有點咸，而個荷蘭汁無乜味道，只是creamy 已己，包是暖的，完全沒有配菜。百二蚊的egg benedict 以這水準，索價偏高。Steak and egg: 炒磨茹非常好味，又香口又juicy; 主角牛扒五成熟，外脆肉嫩，多肉汁又有牛味，份量雖少但令人十分滿足。就是這道菜叫我們試試他們的甜品. Valrhona chocolate Mille feuille樣子不錯， raspberry 很新鮮，;酸酸的味道平衡了朱古力mousse 的甜味，唯朱古力的味道比較單一，只有甜味沒有回甘和可可的甘香。這一甜品索價85，真的有點貴。總結：味道ok, 水準平平至中上，一試無妨。

這幾個月又懶惰又太多事情發生了, 很久沒有更新, 真不知道從何寫起...也順便對僅餘的讀者 (如果還有的話) 道個歉…我會盡量多寫一點點啦~回正題, 這次就介紹一家位於中環的法國小店 Cocotte~ 最近都很喜歡到灣仔和中上環一帶覓食, 因為有很多特色咖啡店和小店, 另外是銅鑼灣尖沙咀真的太多人了網上看到他們的 brunch 很吸引, 所以就和朋友試試~餐廳不算難找, 去之前要做好心理準備走斜路就是了~ 店面以黑白色為主色, 簡約又有風格裡面也是小小的, 幸好坐位沒有太擠, 裝潢簡潔中帶優雅, 晚上氣氛應該會更浪漫~我超愛 eggs benedict,餐廳有的話我通常都會點, 朋友點了croque madame, 甜品點了 soft brioche pain perduEggs benedict ($108) 賣相不俗, 但略嫌單調, 整個碟子都空空的, 建議加點沙律裝飾一下Poached eggs 烹調時間控制得不錯, 很流心; hollandaise sauce 雖然偏酸, 也夠濃夠creamy; 鬆餅烘成金黃色, 微暖又焦脆, 整體很不錯Croque madame ($138)

Cocotte, a new modern French restaurant nestled at the top of Shin Hing Street, is a definite must-try. The restaurant was decorated with vintage mirrors and wallpaper and had both outdoor and indoor seating, making it a great brunch and dinner hangout. We decided to start off the meal with a few cocktails, which were a bit pricey, ranging from HKD$100-200 but very unique and original. I picked the kit-kat cocktail that tasted like a cold chocolate drink, a great first start! We then went on to

Spent a lot of time to find the correct location, it is not easy to find it if you are not familiar with that area.But once your find the first time, you will want to try to second time.The restaurant is very small but it allowed their staffs easily notice what you need - especially you have requirment on - Services. Drink:Hendrick Tonic - Nice Glassware, High Quality !Starter: Steak Tartare and Foie Gras(recommend by Manager), very tasty.Main:Steak(medium rare) with fries, high quality and juic

驚喜通常埋在小店中，所以我喜歡光顧小店。前陣子光顧一間泊車不太方便，搭車也不太方便的小店（其實可容納30人）。我們2人大慨晚上6時多到達，沒有預先訂位，心忖：星期二晚上，坐落這個位置的餐廳需要訂位？！不要跟我裝蒜！食物選擇不多，但質素好，份量足，價錢合理！像牛肉他他，有大小之分，如點大份，大約二百多塊，份量足夠作一頓主菜。大約個多小時後，客人紛紛湧至，餐廳有2/3已滿；原來有一群熟客！失敬、失敬！餐廳有2樣主菜推介；炆牛肋骨及羊柳。牛肋骨肉嫩，只要一隻叉子便可以將骨和肉分開，燒汁夠濃，很惹味。羊柳夠嫩但略嫌味道偏淡。甜品是用朱古力製類似磚狀固體，伴以奇異果作甜度平衡。在下見識少，從未見過體積跟青葡萄一般大的奇異果！因太好食關係，忘記跟甜品拍照。下次跟我們一起去睇實物！

My sister visited Cocotte, and told me that I have to check them out because she had a really good croque madame there. Ever since The Press Room closed its doors,  I have been struggling to find a good Croque Madame, so I couldn't wait to go. The restaurant was quite busy this Sunday that I visited with my friend, but we managed to get a table without having to wait.   The place was kinda narrow and even the waiter found it hard to get to our table.   We were given a menu, but it was not ne

Had such a good experience during my Business Lunch at Cocotte!The Executive Set Lunch is great value for money, you can definitely tell how much love the chef puts in each dish. I recommend the Onion Soup for starter, it was super tasty and so cheesy. The Filet mignon served as main dish is generous. The Steak is juicy and tender. The service is very friendly and efficient. The nice decoration and the pleasant music makes a welcoming atmosphere to this restaurant.  Can't wait to go back and try

 To start our new year, we decided to dine at a nice restaurant. We chose Cocotte because it had a set dinner menu for the NYE. It was $1,480 per person ( included was a bottle of Champagne for every two persons, which was a nice deal).First, we had a small "amuse-bouche" with foie gras. It was surprisingly good. Then, we had THE best raw cold smoked salmon I ever ate. We asked how they did it and the server said it was homemade with a "smoke gun". After that, we ate a big portion of beef sirloi
