...you came to the right place. It`s a small romantic restaurant in a quieter residential part of Playa del Carmen. A good selection of French starters and main disches, including fois gras and parmentier de canard, all prepared afresh and tasty. A well-furbished wine list accompanies the meal. The staff was very attentive and new the menu well, explaining the... More

I don't know much about French food, but I do know this. Good food is good food. Fresh, simple, home cooked with fabulous favors from fresh herbs, spices and local availability is what makes a great plate. I went back twice to make sure I didn't miss the pork and pancetta salad and the chicken beer. Just as delicious as... More

We would highly recommend this gem of restaurant, owned and run by Julien and Chloe who are originally from Paris. We discovered this place the last time we were in Playa and were pleasantly surprised. Julien uses organic meats and produce and the freshest seafood. My husband, my son and I went there for dinner and had the foie gras... More

I love French food and this place does not disappoint. The wine list is limited as is the case with most restaurants here. I have not had French food this good outside of France.

What a surprise! Walked into this restaurant this evening and did not know what to expect. Let me tell you one thing: It is great! Beeing an European I have tasted a lot of so called "italian" food in PDC. This place though gives you the best from the european kitchen at a very affordable rate. The staff is great,... More

I am truly amazed that this place is not packed to the rafters. I have just left this restaurant and I just had to say its amazing. Everyone working understands the concept that the food is fresh and locally sourced. Even down to the fresh herbs growing outside. The food was truly decadent. The service impeccable and charming. I can... More

I never thought that foie grais or duck confit would be meeting my palette while being in Playa del Carmen but it happened and with great delight. The menu changes regularly depending on what is available and they do prepare their meals here with detail and heart. I of course can not resist in having the two previously mentioned meals.... More

Hi sir, Thank you for visiting cocotte cita. Concerning the wine list, we have 35 different wines, which is not spectacular but not "poor" ever, moreover we are trying to offer a good choice of taste and price. I have to rectify what you wrote about the price of the foie gras. It is not 20 USD but 200 MXN,... More

We stumbled upon this tiny gem of a restaurant and are glad that we did! The service was perfect and the waiters were charming and so entertaining! Ask to hear the Darth Vader imitation.
