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.

    Cocotte Bistro was a very good experience for us. We were two couples who wanted to catch up, and our seating was very comfortable and the noise level was low to moderate, easily allowing good conversation. Our server was very pleasant and helpful, but we did need to flag him down twice to ask for specific items. The food was very good: flavourful, tender, and nicely presented. the soup could have been warmer, but was delicious. Best of all was the price. For this quality of food and service I would have expected to pay at least 25% more, so it was excellent value for the money. I would highly recommend Cocotte Bistro.

    Nous avons visité plusieurs fois ce restaurant pour le dîner et chaque visite nous a comblés : un service impeccable, une nourriture excellente et une atmosphère agréable. En raison de ces expériences positives, nous avons choisi de célébrer l'anniversaire de notre fille au Cocotte Bistro lors du brunch. Malheureusement, cette fois-ci fut une grande déception. Voici les raisons de notre insatisfaction : Table non disponible à l'heure de la réservation Service lent Attente de presque 45 minutes pour un simple breuvage (café, boisson gazeuse) Bruit ambiant désagréable Nourriture en dessous des précédentes visites ("avocat sur toast" avec un pain très dur et une présentation à revoir) En somme, une mauvaise expérience au Cocotte Bistro.
