Ottawa French Bistro: Cocotte Bistro

A downtown spot with a relaxed vibe—rattan and wood decor create a cozy, welcoming feel. 😊 Starter: Beef Tartare A solid choice, with the bright flavor of Dijon mustard taking center stage. Simple but satisfying. Recommended Limited Ciabatta Sandwich Tasty indeed! It felt like a delicious mix of cilantro-stirred pork filling and melted cheese—comforting and flavorful. 🥪 Soup Unfortunately, this didn’t hit the mark. The radish had a strong, earthy taste that was hard to enjoy. Main Course: Duck Leg The star of the meal! The meat was incredibly tender, perfectly marinated with rich flavors. The side carrots were a highlight too—sweet, tender, and free of any bitter radish notes. Topped with cheese chunks and smothered in gravy, it almost felt like a fancy, elevated version of poutine! 🦆 Overall, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The only downside? Service was quite slow—each dish took around 20 minutes to arrive. Cocotte Bistro delivers cozy vibes and tasty French-inspired dishes, making it a nice spot for a casual meal in downtown Ottawa. Just plan for a leisurely dining experience! 🍷 #FrenchBistro #Canada #Ottawa #OttawaFood #DiningOut #WeekendEats #Travel #DowntownOttawa #WesternCuisine
