John Hornick Chef’s Apprentice
Category: Bistro. Only one night in Paris seems to carry with it great responsibility to choose just the right spot to dine. After cruising several restaurant streets on a mid-October night in a distinctly non-touristy area of the 14th, we chose an outdoor table at this lively corner boite. After having a big lunch and after being over fed on the trans-Atlantic flight, we were not very hungry but, hey, we were in Paris and wanted some wine with a little food, in that order of priority. I chose the duck foie gras pate, the generous portion of which was served with an onion compote. Excellent, on both the toasty accompanying bread and the pain de maison served for the table. Sarah chose the Caesar Salad with crispy chicken, which was also excellent and well-garnished with shaved Parmesan. I loved the super crispy chicken, which had been pounded, fried, and sliced. It reminded me of Tori Kara-age (see the lessons in my Japanese Faves series). These dishes were perfect partners for 50cl of the house Bordeaux, which was the real reason we were looking for a spot like this in the first place. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice

I would really recommend this place if you want to have a typical french brunch at a typical french terrace. We paid 23€ for the brunch and it was totally worth it. We got a juice and a hot beverage, a croissant with some jam, eggs, a toast, avocado, a caesar salad and some risotto. Finally we could also choose a dessert. It all tasted great and I don’t think anyone will leave hungry after this brunch!

While visiting Paris, our hotel was near Cocotte and we decided to have lunch after a day of traveling. We enjoyed our lunch and beverages, so we decided to try out dessert. Nothing disappointed us – so much so that we returned every evening for a nightcap! The staff are friendly and welcoming (Sarah is a delight!), and they welcomed us back each night. The atmosphere is laid back and a great spot to unwind after a busy day of seeing the sights and enjoying everything Paris has to offer. I would highly recommend stopping by Cocotte – I hope to return to Paris and if I do, I will return for a cocktail and dessert without a doubt!

We had an amazing experience here last night. We were staying locally and looking for somewhere to eat with our toddler. We stumbled across Cocotte and it was ideal. They were extremely welcoming of our toddler, provided a high chair, gave him paper and crayons a drink and lollipops – They were so good with him! For us the service was excellent, food arrived quickly and was tasty. The ambience was lovely too!
