Amazing night at Cocotte

Being French I heard about Cocotte and wanted to try this new "Bistrot like" restaurant that all French people are talking about in Hong Kong.

Being French I heard about Cocotte and wanted to try this new "Bistrot like" restaurant that all French people are talking about in Hong Kong. I have been there with my husband and a couple of friends and it has been a really nice dinner, a truely spotless experience. We didn't wait to be sitted, the athmosphere itself was great and the food delicious and sophisticated. Difficult to describe the cosyness of this place : imagine you are sitted in a comfortable velvet chair, the music play-list makes you feel at home, and the lighting just put you in a relaxed and seductive mood.  We had the "Salad of Young Vegetable & leaves", the "Steak Tartare" and the "Foie Gras Royal" as appetizer. The salad has this "je ne sais quoi" altogether soft and spiced, I think the secret is in the original sauce. The Tartare was tasty and balanced, it made me think of the best ones I had in Paris. It is a difficult exercise to prepare a Tartare, and this one is a winner. I am afraid I didn't taste the Foie gras as my husband finish his plate within 2 minutes. Then I had the Scotch Lamb "Cannon" and my husband shared the entrecote with our friend, another friend had the "Sole Meuniere". I can't say anything bad on the Lamb really loved it, again very sophisticated with the artichoke and the quinoa as a background to enhance the savour of the meat. The mash potatoe as a side is probably the best one I had with Joel Rochuchon'. The wine was great, we had "Moulin a Vent" red wine and it accompagned softly but firmly our dishes. My friends and my husband enjoyed their food as I did. And as a desert I had the "Valhorna Chocolate" and I also tasted the "Candid Apple". I must admit I have a sweet tooth but I can recognise a great desert when I taste one and these were definitly tasty and comforting. A great place I can't wait to go back to.
