As everyone in town, I had heard of Cocotte and was quite eager to try it after all the positive comments read in the press. So we went on a Thursday evening, as I knew the place was busy, I made a booking 3 days in advance and was quite delighted to get a table for 4 people at 9 pm. As we arrived a little bit in advance, the table was not ready yet but we could wait for it while enjoying a glass of Pinot Noir at the bar, looking at that stunning brass. We then got our table on time and sat down
So we went on a Thursday evening, as I knew the place was busy, I made a booking 3 days in advance and was quite delighted to get a table for 4 people at 9 pm.
As we arrived a little bit in advance, the table was not ready yet but we could wait for it while enjoying a glass of Pinot Noir at the bar, looking at that stunning brass.
We then got our table on time and sat down on the banquette. I had already seen the place on a day light while walking around, but I was really impressed by the surrounding lights and the attention paid to each detail.
The whole menu is attractive so we ordered 4 differents starters to share:
the scallops were perfectly cooked, and we loved the morel that were coming with, as it gives a crunchy taste to the dish.
The foie gras is just a perfect delicacy and the fig it comes with make it really tasty.
The langoustines are literally melting in the mouse with the avocado mousse.
Finally, the caprese Salad was the most classic dish, but as it is quite difficult to find a good burrata mozarella in HK I must say that my palet was seduced by the tomatoes and strawberry combo. Then, for the main course, we ordered the Dover Sole (for 2) and l'Entrecote (for 2).
The Sole meuniere was perfectly cooked, coming with a green beans salad, while the Entrecote was so tender that it melted in the mouth! The blue cheese spinach gratin that comes with is so tasty as well that it's a perfect mix with the french fries. I hereby have to say that the meat - that is a wagyu rib-eye - is one of the best I've ever had in HK.
We were already quite full after the main courses, so we decided to share the Valhorna Chocolate and the First Season berries as desserts, and once again, everything was just perfect that it definitly gave us the envy to come back very soon!
The service was good, so discreet that I don't have any particular comment, except that the waiter knew exactly when he had to pour the wine. The wine list is very attractive and I think the selection is made for wine-lovers with a large selection of various french wines, from affordable ones to well know vineyards.
The prices are very fair with starters between 150-250 and main bewteen 250 - 350 HKD.
Most of all, the ambience is very friendly with that touch of parisian style all french restaurants in HK usually miss, surrounded by a refined music selection that definitly seduced us!
