Cocina is described as a stunning, upscale spot in the old port with a modern supper club vibe, moody lighting and a curated soundtrack that sets the tone, while the kitchen delivers Moroccan and Spanish influences with fresh, well presented plates that many find delicious and generously portioned; the menu can be confusing at first and some dishes are mislabelled, such as a chicken tagine that appears as croquettas, and a few items like the tomato heavy lamb or overly salty poutine receive mixed reactions, but a core of dishes and the overall flavors are repeatedly praised; service is noted as fast and professional on many visits and warmly attentive, though a few reviews mention slower pacing during busy or newly opened days and even pressure to turn tables; the ambiance, decor and value receive frequent praise, making it a place to return to and to explore more of the menu, including for business lunches or special occasions, with several reviewers calling it a standout Montreal option.View restaurant profile
