Review Summary

Reviews describe Cococina as a standout dining spot with delicious, beautifully presented dishes that blend Moroccan and Spanish influences, complemented by creative cocktails and a warm, vibrant, upscale atmosphere that works for celebrations or a cozy date night. The interior design is repeatedly praised as stylish and the overall vibe is welcoming and lively, sometimes described as instagrammable. 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.

The food was absolutely delicious, but unfortunately the service was very disappointing.

Our waitress, a blonde woman, was rude from the moment our meals arrived. As soon as the food was served, she told us we only had 15 minutes left to eat, which was shocking considering we had just received our dishes. We then felt pressured to rush through our meal, especially since we were only allowed to stay for one hour - something that was never communicated to us beforehand.

When it came time to order dessert, she told us there was only one option available (a flan). However, the table next to us was able to order multiple different desserts, which left us confused & feeling misled.

Her attitude remained unpleasant throughout the entire evening, until it was time to pay. At that point, she suddenly became friendly, smiling & joking - clearly to encourage a tip.

It's truly a shame, because the food was incredible & the atmosphere & music were great. Sadly, the poor service completely ruined our Valentine's Day date.

Excellente expérience du début à la fin ! La nourriture est absolument délicieuse, le décor est magnifique & l'ambiance musicale est parfaitement choisie. On s'y sent bien dès qu'on entre. Un endroit à ne pas manquer, j'y retournerai sans hésite

The vibe is def for 18-28 years old & club vibes they always have a dj playing experimental deep house & they have moody lightnight with very loud music (u can barelly hear each other) & waitresses serve u wearing a leather miniskirts (the service is amazing like toptier tho dont get me wrong)

For the food: i would say the only really good thing was the kefta even the kefta could use some more grilling to have a extra crunch cuz the rest is quiet soft in texture so the outside of the kefta with a lil more crunch would be nice but overal its a very good option the tomato sauce tasted like good quality. The shrimp with garlic is quiet boring just litterly what if says absolutley nothing special & the oil was just a lil too much… & the shrimp wasnt like marinated before hand wich makes u forced to dip it in the oil wich isnt that pleasent i prefer shrimp to already have flavor on its own & get the option to maybe dip it in oil & it was a lil overcooked. The pastilla chicken def has a twist to it cuz it countains alot of flower water (ma zhar) it was okay the chicken was pleasent no big chunks. The poutine was awful… the fries were so soggy of the creme sauce & the fries had their skin wich made it taste good but it was so soggy absolutley digusting & lets not forget the steak that was drizzled in butter that was on top of the soggy fries > soggy fries with steak butter that was dripping over it > super soggy🤣 the lobster was okey but the poutine sauce was also VERY SALTY we drank so much water to get rid of the saltyness.

The interior is super impressive tho im impressed by how it came alive i can imagine how hard it was to get it togheter & come to life. I do believe the chairs dont really go with the interior it needs something as impressive as the beautifull space. The tables are also quiet small so when all the glasses are on the table & plated it gets very overstimulating cuz the tables are simply too small.
