Bistro Cocotte - HABERFIELD

What a Smooth and intense flavour liver pate Yum!!!<br/ Beef tartare was yummy but it was too edible that lacked rawness of the dish.<br/ <br/ Main course we had duck confit and beef bourguignon tasted perfect with excellent presentation. One tiny comment wish duck skin would have been crispy.

Lovely little local French restaurant. Food is beautifully cooked and very tasty, wine was good, and atmosphere is relaxed and intimate. Liked everything about our night here and will be back.

We used to go a while back but my french partner absolutely loved the place and thought everything tasted so classic french and priced just right. would go back if we're in the area.

Stumbled on their website by accident and was hooked by their special 1st anniversary degustation night of their six best selling dishes. Menu looked fantastic and I can't stop thinking about it, so I made a reservation. Since my favourite French restaurant closed last year, I've been on the lookout for a new favourite, this could be it.<br/ <br/ A glass of sparkling on arrival and a friendly smile, enough to make a great first impression before our amuse bouche arrived, Escargot with Garlic Parsley Butter. Definitely a great start! We didn't have to wait long before the first course arrived, Sydney Rock Oysters with Sauce Mignonette. Vinegar with mince eschallots made great accompaniment to the freshly shucked oysters.<br/ <br/ Black Truffle Mushroom Veloute with Crumbed Quail Egg is creamy and earthy with perfectly cooked crumbed quail egg added necessary texture to the dish. Pan Fried Pancetta Rolled Scallop with Foie Gras, Fennel Remoulade, Lemon Lime Vinaigrette was excellent. This was my favourite dish of the night. It was sublime. Everything on the plate complemented each other and the foie gras added complexity to the dish. Kimchi, Tofu, Ham Hock Terrine with Apple, Ssamjang Chutney, Sesame Leaf Nashi Pear Walnut Salad was fresh and a great follow up after a heavy meal, a palate cleanser before our next heavy meal.<br/ <br/ But the highlight and my husband's favourite dish of the night was Grilled Eye Fillet of Beef with Basil Pistou Jus. Perfectly seared sous vide beef so tender it felt like butter when you cut through it. It left an impression on my husband so big he seriously contemplating on buying a sous vide machine to try and recreate it.<br/ <br/ Just when we thought they can't go any better than this, desserts came. I had the Passionfruit and Plum Creme Brulée with its perfectly cracked caramelised sugar topping added extra crunch. I can't really taste the plum though, but found generous amount of Passionfruit inside the Brulée. My husband chose the Apple Tarte Tatin, Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Salted Crumbed and I can tell you he kept telling how happy he was that he chose it for his dessert. The proof is in the pudding, or in this case the Tarte Tatin as he scraped clean his plate within minutes of consuming it.<br/ <br/ Great timing on the delivery for each course. The matching wines I had with my meals were greatly matched. All that combined with intimate ambience and friendly staff definitely completed a pleasant dining experience.

The pumpkin puree and pomegranate are a excellent compliment to the Barramundi, im really impressed  My fiancé loved her duck dish also.Everyone else had no complaints with there dishesWE didn’t try any dessertsThe Set menu is $60 for 3 courses, the zomato menu is outdated. But from this you will only save $4 or $5, In general I found the prices a little expensiveService was attentive and friendly though food took a little longer to come out than expectedDespite the price it’s a place I would come back to try something else. Worth trying!
