Cococina

Cococina was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've had in Montreal.

The food tasted completely pre-cooked & simply reheated. The patatas bravas were basically inedible: dry, hard, & flavorless. Food quality was extremely disappointing. The $22 cocktails tasted like $1 drinks - badly made, unbalanced, & not worth the price at all.

The open kitchen filled the entire place with a strong cooking smell after only 30 minutes, to the point where our clothes smelled like food when we left. Personally, I also found the atmosphere cold & uncomfortable, more like sitting in a church than in a restaurant.

& I say this as someone who goes out often to some of the best restaurants in Montreal & doesn't mind spending money for quality. I almost never leave bad reviews, but this place absolutely does not deserve its prices or hype.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Cococina. The food was outstanding-beautifully presented, full of flavor, & clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations. The cocktails were just as impressive: creative, perfectly balanced, & expertly crafted.
The atmosphere was warm, vibrant, & inviting, making it the perfect place to relax & enjoy a special evening. But what truly made our night unforgettable was the exceptional service from Andrea. She was attentive, friendly, & professional, always making sure we had everything we needed with a genuine smile. Her attention to detail & kindness made us feel truly valued as guests.
We will definitely be coming back & highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.

We visited Cococina in Montreal with my wife. The interior has a very interesting modern design, & the staff were friendly & welcoming. The cocktails were very good, & the food was tasty. At first glance, nothing feels overly unusual, but the food is genuinely good.

There were a couple of points that could be improved. My wife was initially given a fork that had not been properly cleaned, which could be a serious issue for many guests. Also, the second cocktail my wife ordered was accidentally forgotten, even though the restaurant was not yet fully busy. When I asked for the bill, the staff quickly prepared the cocktail, removed it from our bill, & apologized, which we appreciated.

Overall, it's a nice restaurant with tasty food, great cocktails, & an interesting atmosphere. The service could be a bit more polished, but it's still a pleasant experience.

We absolutely loved the food. The octopus literally melted in the mouth, the fish & chips with black caviar & an incredibly rich cheesy sauce was spotless, & the lamb was beyond praise. The seafood platter exceeded all expectations. Cocktails didn't disappoint either...A truly memorable experience.
But.....We were a group of 15 people, & despite making the reservation in advance, we were seated at two separate tables (8 & 7). It would have been easily possible to arrange one large table, which would have made the experience much more comfortable for our group.
