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.

    We went twice, for a brunch with group and with my partner on a Saturday night… both were an amazing experience. The food was great and the service was excellent. On Sunday Jenny gave us a excellent service. We’ll be back for sure Bravo

    Very loud. Croque montpebello must have been cooked before and reheated. Ham made whole meal almost inedible as too salty. Went home and made myself a sandwich.

    The menu has an excellent range of possible choices for the main course, suitable for most tastes and dietary restrictions. The desserts are not so many but it is an excellent variety nonetheless. The wines by the glass have a smaller selection and in my view are a bit overpriced. The service was friendly and well-timed. It would be a great place to bring a diverse group of family or friends or co-workers -- definitely something for everyone.

    Dear Ms Sheila, Thank you for your detailed review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the range of main course options and found our desserts to be a good variety. We appreciate your feedback on our wine selection and pricing, and we’ll take it into consideration. It’s great to know that you found our service friendly and timely! We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Cocotte Bistro Management Team

    The ambiance and vibe was very cool. I would definitely go again for brunch. The service was good but twice they came to our table with orders that weren't ours and when paying they entered the wrong amount for a guest with us. The food overall was good. I am vegan and there was only one option which isn't rare for a French restaurant but the tofu was dry. However, overall this was a good dining experience, with a great vibe, and friendly staff.

    Lovely time, we felt really valued and the food was outstanding. I had the Steak Frites and my partner had Duck with sausage and bacon with white beans. Both were fabulous. This was for our anniversary.
