Le Cotte Rôti — Restaurant in Paris

1 star is mainly for the price & the service provided.

We came here for dinner and the restaurant wasn’t full. But we had to wait for at least 30-40 min for each dish to arrive, which is extremely slow compared to other fine dining french restaurants. The most ridiculous thing is that, when we asked for carafe d’eau ( which is understood as “jug of tap water” in any restaurant in France), NOT “bouteille d’eau”, they gave us bottled distilled water without asking and just charged us like 5 bottles for the dinner. We ordered some bottles of wine, but we didn’t know we were drinking bottled water as we kept asking for “carafe d’eau” throughout the dinner. We only knew it when we received the bill. Felt like a big rip-off. And they even argued back saying that we should specify “l’eau de robinet”, which I have never heard of asking like this in any french restaurant…

Food was quite good, ham, bread and the dishes were good, but unfortunately with zero-star service. The service and the dishonesty ruined the whole dining experience. Well, it’s totally not worth the price at all. For an average of 80€ per head, I’d have a better...

The best restaurant I've been to in Paris. They just know how it needs to be done. From food, plating to service and everything. the waiter was very helpful and told us what to expect from each dish and what to order. He also recommended wine and came to check on us a few times if everything was okay. And now the food For starter, I ordered the beef tartar, which was balanced perfectly with the creamy light holadise sauce and the saltiness of the capers and acidity. This was followed by beautifully seared scallops on the outside and tender on the inside, with spinach leaves lemon gel and a delicate coconut sauce. My girlfriend ordered the beef cheeks and they too were cooked to perfection. You didn't need a knife because the meat was falling apart and melting in my mouth. The prices are not higher if you compare it to other similar restaurants, but it was not cheap for us. We paid €120 for 4 courses, 1 starter, 2 mains and 1 dessert, a glass of...

We had been in Paris for 12 days, and although we found good food, nothing could compare to Le Cotte Roti. From a glass of Viognier and gossamer thin Iberian cured ham to a shared foie gras prepared three ways; a stuffed ravioli covered in a mushroom infused foie gras sauce topped with a heart shaped lightly grilled foie gras. We both had a few good tastes leaving us wanting more but we had to move onto to the next course with a Givry Burgandy wine.The main meals were well seasoned, prepared to perfection including sweetbreads and just enough sauce left over to soak up with their dark bread. We still had room for more, and as the french love to do, a cheese plate to help finish off the wine. But I couldn't leave without trying a sweet dessert and the Mille- Feuille and a glass of sweet wine, were a perfect ending to a world class dinner. The service staff heightened the experience and I wish I'd asked her name but we'll just ...
