Les Cocottes, one of four acclaimed restaurants on rue Saint-Dominique is owned by Michelin-star chef Christian Constant. How the french all manage to have flawlessly eloquent names like
Coco Chanel and Christian Louboutin, all
worthy of designer goods and all things lavish is beyond me.
Good things do indeed come to those who wait. We'd been walking around for an hour when we eventually settled on Les Cocottes. We'd left before ordering at the initial restaurant we'd been to earlier in the evening; it had an unimpressive, nondescript menu and a waiter whose "1 minute!" turned into 15.
It wasn't by chance that we happened upon this cosy diner in the seventh arrondissement of Paris. This was a result of my mother's laborious research before the trip - a pattern you'll see in future paris posts.
Les Cocottes was one of my favourites of all the french restaurants we visited. It wasn't overly presumptuous, the waiters were quick to smile and it was reasonably priced as far as restaurants in Paris go.
