Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Cocotte Bistro offers an inviting downtown atmosphere with "excellent everything," from food to service. Guests rave about the "amazing interior design" and "fantastic" French cuisine, particularly the steak frites and French onion soup. Service by attentive staff like Christo and Vitor enhances the experience. However, some find the noise level high and service slow during peak times. Perfect for special occasions, Cocotte promises memorable meals and a touch of Parisian charm.

The food and vibes of the restaurant are really pretty. However, the service was not good at all. The servers came to our table at least 10 times to tell us there is another group coming to our table in 1h. We felt very rushed and the server came out with our bills and take out boxes while none of us were done eating. It was for my birthday so I was not happy at all with the service. I understand that the more clients the better it is for the business but this is not at all the way to do it!

Another excellent night at Cocotte Bistro. From the moment you enter you are greeted with a smile and a diverse staff. The food was great. Our server Christo was very attentive. I enjoyed the roasted chicken tonight. It’s a must try.

First experience at this restaurant and will return for sure. The food and service were excellent. The atmosphere is very good and although the noise level was initially high (Sat night - the place was packed) when we first sat down (1930 hrs), it quickly abated as the number of earlier customers started to leave. Our appetizers took some time to arrive (the place was packed and the staff were very busy attending to all of their customers) but they were exquisite when they did arrive with humble apologies. Moreover, for having waited patiently, we were rewarded with free dessert (very nice touch and the dessert was amazing). Christo was our server and he was attentive, efficient and courteous.

Waited months to go but wasn't worth it at all. Food was only just okay and overpriced... will never return. Service on the other hand was very good.

Wow. The decor is great. I felt like I was in Paris. Beautiful restaurant. The customer from Vitor was great. The chicken dish was nice. The duck was good but had too many accompaniments. I will definitely go back before I leave or when I return . The chocolate desert was worth every calorie. Yummy.

We had a lovely table in the restaurant section! The food tasted amazing. Next time I would try the mussels… the table next to us ordered them and they looked so good. The food and drink came at the same time which I always find odd when drinks don’t come first.
