Hmmmm… have a taste at hotspot restaurant cocotte amsterdam
When you mention the Spuistraat chances are slim that it’ll make your heart race. But Restaurant Cocotte in Amsterdam might just be the reason you’ll want to go here. Believe me! Because don’t we get happy about everything that has to do with the French cuisine? I certainly do. The French cuisine they serve at Restaurant Cocotte Amsterdam comes from the region Bretagne. In the restaurant they serve authentic dishes from the area. Just think about savory galettes, sweet crêpes, an extensive breakgast, café gourmand, tarte tatin and more of those delicious dishes. My oh my. And it’s just so the case that my office is dangerously nearby to all these deliciousness, so I spot a new hotspot for my breakfast meetings.
The interior of Restaurant Cocotte in Amsterdam can be best described as cosy. For once not an industrial, neat interior, but something that reminds me most of a rural kitchen where you sit at wooden tables. On the ceiling there’s a blue with white Breton line that reminds me of the French coast. The nice pottery with a blue edge gives me a retro French feeling and frankly, i snever out of style. What I like about Cocotte is that it’s French, but different than the other French restaurant that has been opened recently. Not a brasserie like you’ll find in Paris, but the coziness of the French coast. Love it!
But a nice interior is good, eventually it’s all about the food itself. And that suffices. At Restaurant Cocotte Amsterdam they namely work with craftly ingredients. Like the flour they use is 100% biologial and comes from a small mill in France. Furthermore, the crêpes are completely glutenfree so everyone can enjoy them. Let Chef Charlotte surprise you and go ahead and put Cocotte on your list of nice lunch hotspots in the heart of the centre!
Bon appétit!
