Service is a mix of high praise for attentiveness and professionalism and occasional notes of slowness or miscommunication, but the consensus is that when the service hits its stride the experience is memorable. Dishes like tajine variations, seafood platters, octopus, calamars, and lamb receive frequent compliments, while a few items such as certain shrimp preparations or poutine have caveats about taste or portion size and some reviews mention timing constraints that affected the meal. Overall, Cococina is viewed as a strong, high quality option in Montreal with many guests planning to return and recommend it, while acknowledging that as a newer venue some aspects can still be refined.View restaurant profile
