Cocotte is a lovely little French restaurant in a pedestrianised area off Sheung Wan. The food and wine list definitely punch above its weight!Diver scallops (HK$198)This starter dish is a real star (the first of many to come!) The scallops were large, plump and succulent. It was paired simply but really well with the sugar snap peas, roasted garlic and mushrooms.Wagyu beef Bavette steak (HK$348)Awesome main.

This starter dish is a real star (the first of many to come!) The scallops were large, plump and succulent. It was paired simply but really well with the sugar snap peas, roasted garlic and mushrooms.Wagyu beef Bavette steak (HK$348)
Awesome main. The medium rare steak came cooked perfectly, and it was melt in the mouth, succulent and juicy.Spinach gratin
The rich blue cheese crumble on top complements the creamy spinach very well without being greasy or overpowering.Candied apple (HK$108)
This comprised an almond financier, a nicely poached apple half, vanilla ice-cream, poached rhubarb, vanilla cream anglaise. I loved the combination of warm and cold, and the variety of textures. I did feel that the almond financier was rendered too soggy by the apple though.Grand Cru Chocolate (HK$128)
My friend's chocolate ganache dessert. Dark and rich as sin, the way we love it! But I suppose this wasn't particularly special.Service was friendly and enthusiastic. The restaurant has two sittings on a Friday night (not sure about other weeknights or weekends), so it was a bit of a shame we had to leave the table at 9 pm as it would have been nice to linger over dessert.
Overall it was a great meal at good value, and I would return for the awesome steak!
