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.

Pour un lunch d'affaires , tout était impeccable, de l'accueil au service, sans oublier la qualité de la cuisine. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésitation.

Excellente bouffe, portion généreuse & à la fois gastronomique. Première fois que je mange marocain à Montréal & c'était le même taste exactement comme les saveurs lors de mon voyage au maroc. & l'ambiance était très cosy pour un date en amoureux.

Cococina est nouveau restaurant dans le vieux Montréal. Le décor est extrêmement beau, tous les éléments sont choisis avec goût dans une ambiance moderne & raffinée. C'est un ambiance de « supper club ». Nous étions là pour le réveillon du nouvel an avec un menu 5 services à 150$/personne. Tous les plats étaient absolument délicieux & les portions généreuses. Le rib-eye, le poison entier & la casserole de fruit de mer étaient très bien assaisonnés. Pour le service, nous avons été traités aux petits soins. Tous les employés, des serveuses au gérant, sont venus nous voir pour s'assurer de notre satisfaction. C'était une très belle soirée, je recommande fortement ce restaurant.

3.0

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.
