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.

pan seared guinea fowl

I finished off with a coffee that was alright. Not great but ok.

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.

用google translate將Cocotte這法文翻譯成英文是casserole，立刻明白。Casserole就是陶瓷或玻璃製而又可以放進焗爐的煮食用具。用Casserole煮的食物也會叫作casserole，例如chicken casserole, Sweet Potato casserole或 Lentil casserole等等。Casserole也是常用來做frittatas, lasagna macaroni甚至baked french toast 等等。用途真的非常廣泛。用Cocotte作為店名，應該有不少casserole菜式吧。(但看了看dinner menu又好像不是。。。)Having no clue as to what "cocotte" means, I used google translate.

Having no clue as to what "cocotte" means, I used google translate. It's casserole in English, which is like a pot used for cooking as well as the name for dishes cooked in it like chicken casserole, sweet potato casserole or lentil casserole. It can also be used to make frittatas, lasagna macaroni or even baked french toast etc. Truly multi-functional!
Having the name as Cocotte means they've got lots of casserole dishes? (not really judging from the dinner menu)

這天來是吃早午餐的，有數個禮拜沒有吃brunch了，心癮又起。想起之前在報章上看到對Cocotte早午餐的介紹便決定來試試。因為網上好像找不到對於它的早午餐的評語，所以來之前也就沒有什麼期望之類的，純平常心。
Due to the lack of brunch in the past few weeks, I decided to try Cocotte after reading about it in some magazines. I couldn't really find any review online on the brunch here and therefore I didn't have any idea what it served nor did I have any kind of expectation about it.

在歌賦街附近的善慶街，不算難找。店子不太大，星期六大約下午一時半左右來是大概80%滿。有梳化位，而且梳化不會太低，很舒服。
Cocotte is located on Shin Hing Street, just next to Gough Street and not hard to find at all. The restaurant is not huge. On a Saturday afternoon around 13:30 it's about 80% full. They have comfortable sofa seats.

Eggs En "Cocotte" (HK$118) - 先來一客用casserole的菜式。賣相不錯吧，但份量超少。請注意，這一道本身是有pancetta的，但我們要求除去。逐款談談。首先那片麵包其實是多士，很脆，沒有味道。另外主要的材料為炒菇、炒菠菜、一旁呈波浪形很美的薯蓉及最底的前蛋。我估計菇及菠菜是先炒好，薯蓉也是已經準備好。那麼廚師只需在這casserole上煎好蛋，就可以把其餘材料放上蛋上。
Eggs En "Cocotte" (HK$118) - First dish to arrive was the casserole dish. Looked pretty great huh? Sadly the portion was super tiny. Take note that this dish normally comes with pancetta which was requested to be taken out by us. The little toast on the right hand side was very crispy but with not much flavour. The wild mushrooms and baby spinach were pan-fried, next to it was mashed potato and underneath them all was a thin piece of fried egg.

這道菜的總評是淡而無味。炒菇及菠菜不太油但沒有味道，調味再多一點會較好，另外菠菜炒得較乾比較老。薯蓉則很滑很好吃。那蛋哩，就是煎蛋，你我在家都可以煎得到。幸好來的時候沒期望，所以也不會有太大的失望。當然，如果有pancetta的話應該會好吃得多。
Bland would be the word describing this dish. The wild mushrooms and spinach were not oily but they lacked flavour. More seasoning was definitely needed. The spinach was also a bit overcooked and thus dry. The mashed potato, on the other hand, was good and smooth. As to the egg, well, you can totally just go to your kitchen right now, crack and pan-fry one, enuf' said. However, as I said, it was not the case that I had a high expectation before I came, thus it wasn't such a big disappointment. That said, perhaps it would've been better with the pancetta.

French Fries (HK$38) - 看到鄰桌點的菜有一大撮薯條，看得我自己都心癢癢。我果然是不能抵擋煎炸食物的。我便點一客薯條side dish。嘩很大盤！薯條是幼身，調味很輕手，沒有鹽，對我來說是很對口味，因不怕吃罷口乾。薯條不是我期待的金黃色，但很夠熱，也不算太淋也不油，可以滿足我突然想吃垃圾食品的慾望。
French Fries (HK$38) - Noticing that the other table next to me ordered a side french fries, my crave was instantly triggered. I am really no match in front of deep-fried anything. The portion was huge. The French fries were seasoned lightly with parsley without salt, which was perfect for me! The fries were not deep-fried to the much desired golden colour but hot enough. They were, however, free of grease and mushy inside, enough to satisfy me.

Scrambled Eggs Salmon (HK$88) - 自上一次在The Cupping Room吃三文魚炒蛋後都沒有再吃三文魚炒蛋了。賣相不差The Cupping Room 的。配菜有capers、紅洋蔥及香料。蛋炒得不錯，夠滑但不太夠熱，可能是因為三文魚是冷的。其實從前都沒有發現煙三文魚與炒蛋是這麼配的。我想如果把生的三文魚與蛋一起炒熟也會不錯。紅洋蔥在這裡其實可有可無，因為已經有capers，不過作為裝飾也不錯。88元在這區有這份量算差不多。
Scrambled Eggs Salmon (HK$88) - This was the most recent scrambled eggs with salmon for me since the one at The Cupping Room. Well, they looked as nice as the one at The Cupping Room. The scrambled eggs came with capers, red onions and seasoned with herbs. The eggs were nicely done and smooth albeit not hot enough. The cold smoked salmon could be the reason. Indeed in the past I didn't realize scrambled eggs go so well with smoked salmon. I can imagine that scrambled eggs with cooked salmon would be equally delicious. The red onions here were not really necessary as there were already capers for the salmon. At least it looked nice on the plate as a whole. The portion was ok at 88 dollars for the eggs with salmon in this area.

Pear Tart - 怎可能沒有甜點呢？忘了這梨撻是88元或是68元。不過無論是88元或是68元這梨撻也太小的一個了吧！同樣地賣相是非相吸引。梨的部份很清新，不甜不膩。撻的底及撻邊不會太結實也不會太鬆散，很好吃呢。我和LR分享這個撻，真是一點罪惡感也沒有，哈。
Pear Tart - I forgot if the tart was 88 or 68 dollars, but it was a very expensive tart even at 68 dollars. Look at the tiny size... It did look great. The pear tasted fresh and the crust was neither too firm nor too soggy, nice. The tart was so small that LR and me could share it without feeling too guilty.

整體來說哩，Cocotte的環境及服務都非常好，食物也不錯而且賣相有心思 (除了那Eggs En "Cocotte"有點騙錢之外)。但是定價偏貴而且份量偏小。我估計晚市的食物也會同樣的精緻(及貴)但應該有更多能讓大廚發揮的空間。所以哩，對Cocotte我是還未能下一個定論的。
On the whole, Cocotte has a very nice atmosphere and service with decent food which also looks good (except that Eggs en Cocotte was a bit of a rip-off). The problems are that the portion was too small and dishes were overpriced. But I do think that dinner here is probably much better.

說起來，我去巴黎遊玩的時候，也有在星期天隨意地找了一家小店吃早午餐，選擇都是較簡單的，通常都是牛角包、再加塗上牛油的長棍包(有時另外再有奉上餐前包。。。)、果醬、橙汁、咖啡，有時會有炒蛋或鮮果。反正就是平常的食物，也沒有什麼egg benedicts，pancakes之類的。所以其實到底Cocotte的早午餐是否法式的我也說不上。
Speaking of brunch in France (or Paris, to be exact), I remember I had breakfast and brunch every day when I was in Paris, including brunch on Sunday. I just randomly went inside any restaurant that looked okay. All those breakfast/brunch choices were super simple such as croissants, bread with butter (often together with some other bread...), jam, orange juice, coffee, sometimes with scrambled eggs or fruits. Just ordinary food and there was no egg benedicts, pancakes or whatever. Thus, I am not really sure if the brunch served in Cocotte "French" or not.

SETTING / DECOR

This new French bistro comes as an unexpected refuge from the Hollywood Road vibe, speakeasy-ish as you enter a room with indisputable charm and class. Dark green banquette, red, blue and greyish chairs, black marble table and different beautiful wallpapers on each side of the restaurant. Very cute.

FOOD

On the table we ordered for appetizers: foie gras (168), steak tartare (168), langoustine (238) and diver scallops (198). All beautiful, special mention for the steak tartare that is quite a common dish but the meat was great and it comes with some kind of sauce in a jar on the side, really really great addition. The scallops are an absolute try as well.

Next: we ordered a sole meuniere (688) and ribeye (888), both dishes meant to be shared for two. Both were great. The sole was moist and full of flavours. The ribeye was so tender and juicy. Great sides too. Loved the potato puree that comes with the sole. The ribeye comes with fries and a spinach gratin. Fries were fine but I found the spinach gratin a bit too strong for my taste (they had some blue cheese in it).

To finish we shared the Valrhona Chocolate Cake and the Berries. The cake was served with berries coulis, fresh rapsberries and a vanilla ice cream; it had kind of a fudge texture. It was glorious. The berries were fine too, very refreshing desert with the sorbet.

DRINKS

A bottle of Champagne to start and a bottle of red Burgundy Mercury. Wine list was actually pretty decent for a small restaurant like this. Fairly priced too.

SERVICE

It was a Saturday night and we came for the second service at 9pm. The place was pretty packed; a lovely hostess greeted us while we waited for our table to be re-set. During the meal, the service was attentive and friendly. The waiter was really nice. Food came timely too.

PRICE

Total bill per person : roughly 1,000 bucks for appetizers/mains/desserts/ water/ champagne/ wine and service charge. It is not cheap by any means but we were not looking for cheap and considering the quality of ingredients and the fact that we had champagne and wine, it is actually very reasonable.

All in all, we’ve had a wonderful evening and we’ll be back for sure. Bravo Cocotte.

Cocotte is definitely the restaurant to go to if you fancy delicious French cuisine and French lifestyle. Hats off to the decor: dark grey ceiling, parquet flooring, different wallpapers on each wall, lamps are terrific and a bit retro to generate a soft lighting, black marble tables and variegated or colored chairs. Same enthusiasm applies to their cooking. Go for burrata or foie gras as a starter. As a main : langoustines are delicious, the steak for two melts in the mouth, the sole is tasty a

As a French expat, I pay a lot of attention to the wine list and it is just great at Cocotte. The staff is super friendly and very caring. This restaurant is perfect for both romantic dinners and casual dinners with friends. I heard they will soon change their menu, I can’t wait to taste their new recipes!

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.

What do you fancy for lunch? We both went for the EXPRESS LUNCH....no desserts.

Bread for the table.

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....

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. 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)

Grand Cru Chocolate

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!

Wagyu beef Bavette steak

The most interesting part of this Steak tartare was the combination of truffle egg yolk with the tartare. However, the seasoning of the steak tartare wasn’t strong that the egg yolk just diluted the taste further. It’s a strong comparison to the main dish of wagyu beef we have chosen.

Capresse Salad, Cocotte style

Caprese salad, Cocotte style, mozzarella di buttatina
My friend loved this salad coz she’s a big fan of the mozzarella di buttatina while I enjoyed the fruits and tomatoes the most. If they can add more green into the salad, I am sure it will taste even better.

Wagyu beef bavette steak, my friend & I nagged about too much food being ordered since the steak tartare & the bread loaf were quite filling. We were having too many fine dining meals in the last couple of weeks that the “diminishing marginal return” kicked in! Thanks to Cocotte, the beef steak was amazing, cooking, saucing, seasoning all came in balance. The beef taste just savored in your mouth, a long finishing just like the wine. We highly recommend diners to try this dish, good thing is that the portion isn’t big and just perfect for 2 people to share (if you are not a meat lover or doesn’t have a big appetite).

Dessert: Candid apple

The carmelized apple dessert wasn't so-so...which could be skipped...no further comment to be added.

題外話/補充資料： The tables inside this small restaurant are very packed & tiny, we could barely fit all the dishes on the table and beware not to knock anything over which will probably hit hte table next to you.

Then we had the "lamb cannon" and the Milk fed Veal both cooked to a succulent "melt in your mouth" tender medium rare. We wanted to try something new in regards of wine and went with the suggestion of the maitre d' which was a pomerol Certan Marzelle (wasn't familiar with that one at all) but was worth every penny!! And for desserts we took the valrhona chocolate and the fresh berries. The valrhona was well portionned for a chocolate dessert so it s not to much once you finish the plate. The berries were garnished with lavender meringe ( not a fan of lavander usually but that one was ok) and some vanilla cream and a sorbet , very refreshing on a hot summer night. Overall the experience was awesome (fun , good vibe , good food at a fair price)
I always say you get what you pay for!
The prices are neither to cheap nor to expensive just "spot on" like my friend said. I will come back for sure.

Newly opened Cocotte (French word for "casserole") has become a popular haunt for girly gatherings, thanks to its quaint, wallpapered interior which resembles a cosy, luxurious Parisian dining room. Opened by Hong Kong-based French brothers, Jonathan and Brice Moldovan, and helmed by chef Patrick Dang, this restaurant is an upscale "brasserie" which features a "less is more" philosophy and serves a selection of re-invented French classics.

Even though this eatery claims to be a "brasserie-inspired restaurant", its price tag is certainly not brasserie-style and is more similar to that of a fine-dining establishment, and dinner typically costs around $600-$1,000 per head. The service is friendly and attentive, but the food quality is hit-and-miss, and dining experiences of customers tend to vary depending on the date of visit and what is ordered.

(1) We start with the Langoustine Barely Touched ($258), a salad of barely cooked langoustines atop a bed of fresh salad leaves, decadently touched by some osetra caviar. The flavours of this dish are enticing, delicate and perfectly balanced.

(2) Next, we share a hearty piece of Wagyu steak ($788) for two. The steak is beautifully fat marbled and has a delightful char grilled surface and inner tenderness, and comes with French fries and spinach and blue cheese gratin on the side. We are not a fan of the latter, as the spinach is oily and the taste of blue cheese is overwhelming.

(3) We order two desserts to share, and the Valhrona Chocolate ($108) arrives first. The dark chocolate cake tastes rich and pleasant but is not mind-blowing, and I would prefer an icy scoop of ice cream to accompany the brownie than crème fraîche, which is rather heavy.

(4) The Caramelised Pineapple ($108) is the better dessert of the two, and is delicately soft with a harmonious balance of sweetness and tartness. The yoghurt sorbet is light and enjoyable, but we find the roasted white chocolate a tad cloying.

We adore the classy, chic ambience of this intimate restaurant. We only wish that over time, the food can live up to the splendour of the decor!

I paid my last visit to Cocotte last Wednesday among the several times I had dinner there. And it is always a delight tasting their mouth-watering dishes, sitting at a comfortable table, in a nice atmosphere with great decor!
We usually go with some friends; that way we get to choose more dishes and have a bite at each one of them.
Our first dinner at Cocotte, we decided to follow the waiter’s suggestions; we had scallops and langoustines as starters, and the guinea fowl to share, lamb and sea bream as mains, with an extra mashed potato on the side (extra Yummy). I allowed myself to dig into the different dishes we had ordered. The scallops were perfectly cooked, the langoustines were fresh and really tasty. Main dishes met our expectations after our amazing starters.. The guinea fowl was beautifully seasoned, the sea bream deliciously-cooked - and that coming from someone who is not a fish person -, and the lamb was tender. I already have my favourites, which I recommend: The scallops are exquisite and the lamb is to die for! We finished our meal with a touch of sweetness for our taste buds. Tasting from different delicious desserts; we had the valhrona chocolate, which I would definately recommend for chocolate (or just dessert) lovers, candied apple and caramelized pineapple for fruities and the seasonal berries for something more fresh (and a special wow effect in the mouth). Add a – or several – bottle(s) of wine from their wine list, and there you go for a great evening!
All in all, the food is great, the staff welcoming, and the atmosphere cosy and pleasant. An experience I have renewed more than once already.

This maiden review is prompted by my mother’s sentiments, which I share, on the abysmal dining experience that we had at Cocotte. Pausing here, I must explain that my mother, who is an excellent cook, is usually quite forgiving when it comes to restaurant fare. It takes a lot to elicit such strong commentary from her.

With a concerted media blitz, Cocotte has billed itself as the newest “hot” restaurant in Hong Kong . Critics and bloggers alike have hailed the chef’s pedigree (from Amber no less) and his haute cuisine. Therefore, expectations were high when we booked a table for Friday night as a pre-Mother’s Day celebration. To put it mildly, it was a disappointment.

My mom’s excitement in dining at a chic French restaurant in Soho (a neighborhood which she does not usually frequent) quickly evaporated with her first bite of her appetizer, diver scallop. This was a creation which all the reviewers have recommended and had looked tantalizing in photographs. The scallop was plump but entirely too salty and was only edible if you wash it down with a big gulp of wine. Hardly the signature entrée that it was touted to be. The Tuna Nicoise and Foie Gras Royale which we ordered were unremarkable and pedestrian at best.

For the mains, the kids ordered the truffle spaghetti which they were apparently happy with. We elected to share the guinea fowl cooked into 2 ways and in 2 services. The first service was the roasted breast. One bite and we were finished. The meat was moist and tender but it was again overwhelmed by over-saltiness. Again, we have to resort to our trusty drink to wash it down. By this time, and as the person who chose this venue, I was fervently hoping that the second service would salvage this disaster. Unfortunately, the leg fricassee ran true to form. It was bland and without flavor. I share my mom’s comment that this was her worst meal that the chef could not have possibly tasted his own food before serving it upon an unsuspecting clientele.

When the server asked for our comments, I told her exactly what I had written above. As I suspected, her question was just a parroted routine and all I got was an insincere “Oh, I am sorry. Thank you for telling us, I would tell the chef”. The chef made no attempt at an appearance and apparently remained oblivious of our complaints.

When things are bad, it doesn’t end. When the bill came, we noted a corkage charge of $350. When I made the reservation about a week ago, I was informed that it was $250. When I asked the server, she gave the ridiculous explanation that they just raised the corkage charge after my reservation. Talk about inflation! Obviously, they did not have the courtesy of offering to return the charge to the quoted $250 and I was just too worn out by the experience to argue.

We brought our own wine and accepted the rather exorbitant corkage charge after we had a glance at their wine list (which we obtained by email beforehand). A glance was all it took because the selections were few and totally unattractive. They seem to have forgotten the cardinal rule that you can only justify a high corkage charge if you have a reasonably deep wine list or that it makes more sense to bring your own when the markup is excessive. The only thing that survived the meal and tasted good was the pretty shiraz that we brought, 2006 Mollydooker, Carnival of Love.

My takeaway from this rather forgettable experience : Don’t trust critics’ or bloggers’ reviews (even one from yours truly), find out for yourself. Don’t rush to be the first, let them work out their teething pains first. If you want to experiment, go for lunch first to avoid disappointment (not to mention an unnecessary hit on your wallet). If you want Amber standard, go to Amber (there is a reason that Amber is Amber and it cannot be duplicated by someone who just happened to have wandered into its kitchen on his way to another gig). Please remember, caveat emptor (buyer beware)!

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

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 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.

Langoustine Barely Touched

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!

NO PHOTOS OR LONG DESCRIPTIONS OF FOOD - BETTER YOU GO AND ENJOY FOR YOURSELF

We had limited expectations when we booked Cocotte, and we were pleasantly surprised. A return visit is in order. The menu is interesting with a nice variety of modern European cuisine, while service was friendly and satisfactory.

FOOD
There is a set menu that works off of the a la carte menu, so we decided to go our own way. We had a really nice mixed salad, scallops, beef tartare, roast veal, chocolate tart, and cheese. All the food was well-prepared with a bit of creativity on the plate as well. There are enough interesting options on the menu, that I would make a return visit. Prices were reasonable with apps around $100-150 and mains at $250-350.

SERVICE
The wait staff was friendly and "got the job done." No particular help on the wine list and descriptions of food items on delivery was limited. We sorted our own water // wine, which was left on the table. No issues on timing of food delivery.

AMBIENCE
Like many new establishments in Hong Kong these days, the owners clearly spent some money on decor. There is a fully stocked floor to ceiling bar where people can sit and eat (walk-in?). Given the bar sits between the kitchen and dining room, I doubt many people would come just for a drink, although I could be wrong. The only issue I have was the music was 70s/80s rock/rap, which I am not sure I really understand. The volume was fine, but it just seemed out of place with the cuisine.

The food really saves Cocotte from being another average HK Soho restaurant. Well done to the chef.

近來越來越愛中環。自今年初開始，區內的新蒲點越開越多，這邊元創坊和新加洲大廈如箭在弦準備正式開幕之際，那邊廂荷李活道附近的餐廳又四處開個不停，氣氛非常熱鬧。這晚輪到探索新店之一善慶街的 Cocotte，飯前先到元創坊行個圈，感覺的確不錯。前警察宿舍的舊貌保留得接近完整無缺，那些兒時的回憶也忽然重現腦海，為什麼香港沒有更多這類型的保育工程？行了一會，前菜的元創坊終告完成，接著是主菜 Cocotte 出場。Cocotte 跟元創坊相隔不遠，室內裝潢優雅，高貴的花紋牆紙、深綠色絲絨梳化和灰黑色的雲石枱合力形做出頗具氣派的格局。不過小店的面積實太細小，空間感不足，枱與枱之間差不多是零距離。幸好食物有令人期待的理由，聽說主廚曾効力 L'Atelier Joel Robuchon 多年，做法國菜的經驗甚為豐富，相信我們今晚必有口福。頭盤先來一款香煎深海帶子 (4.5/5)。厚肉的帶子香氣四溢，簡單的調味經已夠精彩。配菜的陣容亦相當豐富，雅枝竹、青豆、羊肚菌、牛油果蓉和香濃的松露醬汁彼此相輔相承，而且互補不足，味道的確令人讃不絕口。當大家還沉溺在天堂之際，跟隨其後的自家製鵝肝醬已經急不及待地登場，可

近來越來越愛中環。自今年初開始，區內的新蒲點越開越多，這邊元創坊和新加洲大廈如箭在弦準備正式開幕之際，那邊廂荷李活道附近的餐廳又四處開個不停，氣氛非常熱鬧。

這晚輪到探索新店之一善慶街的 Cocotte，飯前先到元創坊行個圈，感覺的確不錯。前警察宿舍的舊貌保留得接近完整無缺，那些兒時的回憶也忽然重現腦海，為什麼香港沒有更多這類型的保育工程？

行了一會，前菜的元創坊終告完成，接著是主菜 Cocotte 出場。

Cocotte 跟元創坊相隔不遠，室內裝潢優雅，高貴的花紋牆紙、深綠色絲絨梳化和灰黑色的雲石枱合力形做出頗具氣派的格局。不過小店的面積實太細小，空間感不足，枱與枱之間差不多是零距離。

幸好食物有令人期待的理由，聽說主廚曾効力 L'Atelier Joel Robuchon 多年，做法國菜的經驗甚為豐富，相信我們今晚必有口福。

頭盤先來一款香煎深海帶子 (4.5/5)。厚肉的帶子香氣四溢，簡單的調味經已夠精彩。配菜的陣容亦相當豐富，雅枝竹、青豆、羊肚菌、牛油果蓉和香濃的松露醬汁彼此相輔相承，而且互補不足，味道的確令人讃不絕口。

當大家還沉溺在天堂之際，跟隨其後的自家製鵝肝醬已經急不及待地登場，可惜一試之後，感覺令我們從天堂跌回凡間。

喜歡廚師利用煙燻火腿的鹹香來襯托鵝肝醬的臊味，脆餅碎成功幫助增強口感，但鵝肝醬本身的鵝肝味和酒香都同樣偏淡，清淡的味道令它好像被淪為火腿的配角一樣 (2.5/5)。

Foie gras royale

主菜選擇不多，首先揀選的是一款簡單的燒和牛腹肉。燒和牛腹肉火候掌握得不錯，口感既有少許應有的煙韌，又同時不失濃郁的肉味和肉汁，整體的味道令人滿意 (3.5/5)。

Wagyu beef bavette

侍應為我們送上最後的松露醬汁意粉。意粉選用了較為幼身的麵條，粗幼大致跟天使麵差不多。可惜麵條的質感略為軟稔，感覺沒有寬身的麵條那麼適合配搭較為黏稠的松露汁。另外亦不太喜歡廚師放入紅蘿蔔等的蔬菜粒，此舉無助加強菜式的味道，相反有點畫蛇添足 (2.5/5)。

Truffle spaghetti

食物的水準有點起伏不定，而且略欠少許驚喜，服務也少了一份小店的親切感，因此整體的評分相比同是區內新丁的 Restaurant NUR 和 Bibo 自然有所距離。
