Beloved Brasserie

Ferbruary 26, 2016

It’s easy to get lost amid the mind-boggling number of restaurants in the Central area, especially as they come and go with such frequency. Standing out from the crowd is difficult in this intensely competitive environment for eateries, but the distinctive vibe at the 36-seat Cocotte whisks you away to Paris with such ease that you may forget where you are. 

With its eclectic wallpaper, mid-century lines and art deco curves, Cocotte arrived in Hong Kong in the capable hands of Franco-Romanian brothers Jonathan, Brice and Petrous Moldovan. After their success in the Big Apple with restaurants such as New York Burger Co, the trio expanded into Hong Kong with this outlet,
which conjures the spirit of a Montmartre brasserie. Designed by Candace Campos as an intimate, vibrant space, Cocotte focuses on seasonal ingredients and a less-is-more approach to modern French cuisine.

“No one is obsessed with love and food as much as the French, so French cuisine is the perfect choice for a romantic dinner for two,” says chef Petrous – and following hot on the heels of the restaurant’s romantic six-course Valentine’s Day meal, we can’t wait to see what’s in store for spring at Cocotte.
