I came for you

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

 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 needed since I knew what I wanted already. My friend got the same~

  After we ordered, some bread was brought to our table. The bread was warm and soft. You could taste the flour, which felt very homemade to me.

 Finally, it was time for the star to come. 
 The Croque Madame came with a mountain of fries and a salad. There was quite a bit of béchamel sauce, but not enough cheese for me, because I love it when it is loaded with cheese. The sandwich was okay, but I had expected more. The fries were great, since they were so crunchy. The salad was fresh and tasty.

 Service was good and attentive. 


Final Verdict:
I wouldn't mind coming again.

    Came here for lunch to try this place out. I had always wanted to try it as it looked very pretty on the inside and I read it was much hyped to be extremely good.

    Came here for lunch to try this place out. I had always wanted to try it as it looked very pretty on the inside and I read it was much hyped to be extremely good. Originally only open at night, I  found out that recently they started lunch service. So came to give it a try.

    The place is very small but I was still able to get a table as it was only 50% full. The heat was on super high and I actually sat there sweating most of the time. Considering it wasn't really that cold outside, the intense heat was not that needed. I was presented with the lunch menu where by you can order an appetizer, main and coffee or tea for $168 (aka express lunch) or add a dessert for $198 (aka executive lunch). I opted for the express lunch as I wanted to have dessert elsewhere. Plus the dessert choices didn't look appealing to me.

     Bread was a mini baguette. It was warm, soft and chewy. Pretty good bread.

     For my appetizer, I chose a lobster bisque. It was infused with truffle oil. This was highly disppointing to me as the truffle flavor was way too strong and not only overwhelmed the flavor of the lobster, it made it nonexistent. Frustrating why people add truffle oil because it just ruins an otherwise fine dish. The soup was really hot which is good  but then the heat was on so high that I was dripping in sweat after finishing my soup.

     Pan seared guinea fowl with lentils, green pea puree and a thyme jus was my choice of main. The dish looked pretty. The guinea fowl was well cooked and very moist. The lentils were soft and had a chewy consistency. Almost like quinoa. The only disappointing thing was the green pea puree and thyme jus gave nothing to enhance the dish other than the make the plate look nice.

     It was a nice lunch but not great. I think I expected more considering it was advertised all over the media as something great. Portion size was fine so price was quite reasonable. Service was friendly with staff checking on you to make sure everything was ok. I'm unsure if I'd return again.

    Cocotte is one of the newest French restaurants to open up. I've heard mixed reviews about this place...so during one HK holiday...we decided to go check it out for lunch. I thought the lunch price was pretty reasonable and I liked the space! I didn't go for dinner though, which is what I usually like to write about...since I get to eat and try more of the food! ;)What do you fancy for lunch?

     I went with the cold soup...gazpacho medley, with lots of veggies. I loved the strong tomato fragrance and refreshing aftertaste!

     Steak tartare with truffle egg yolk and sour dough croute..which came out a bit questionable. The colour was a bit brown....but after reassuring us that this would be normal....I devoured a bite or two and it really was pretty darn tasty! Especially that secret sauce in that jar. Delicious!

     I ordered the codfish mediterranean style with spiced ginger polenta, ratatouille, and red beet reduction as my main. The presentation was really beautiful, but as I tasted the codfish...it was really overly salty,...to the point that the ginger polenta (which has a soft, mild taste to it) became the only thing I really liked about this dish. :/

     The steak frites...the fries were really tasty, along with that mustard sauce but the steak itself was a bit overcooked...I think overall the food still needs a bit of improvement but the service, atmosphere was really good. Worth a try??! I think so...just hope next time the mains would be better...or maybe I just ordered wrong....
