Review Summary

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.

Manque total de professionnalisme. Le dépôt sur ma carte de crédit m'a été chargé malgré ma présence. J'ai dû appeler 3 fois pour finalement avoir mon argent 15 jours plus tard. Le propriétaire te dit qu'il va te rappeler mais ne le fait pas, mentionne que c'est la faute de la plate-forme sans prendre d'initiative pour te rembourser. Totalement inacceptable.
Cela est sans parler des erreurs le soir même.
J'arrive avec ma mère qui a une canne car elle est tombée & lorsque je dit la porte est là, le jeune homme à l'entrée nous dit : Non ici c'est Cococina. Il semblait trouver qu'on était pas assez jet set pour son restaurant.
On ne prend pas alcool, la serveuse nous dit; voyons c'est samedi soir. Cela ne passe plus en 2026.
Les jupes en cuir très courtes des serveuses sont de mauvais goût.
Donc fuyez ce restaurant.

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.

Very mid experience. The hype around this place made me want to go try it, I've been to a lot of restaurants in the city & I'm sad to say that for a brand new place the menu was very disappointing. The garlic shrimp we ordered had a weird after taste as if the shrimp were not fresh. The octopus was ok but the portion was ridiculously small, the poutine with lobster & steak was extremely salty & the lobster tasted frozen. Unfortunately just another place that was hyped up by influencers for a free dinner & promotion… unfortunate. The atmosphere is good, but the food & mocktails are not worth the salty bill.

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.

Je suis un peu perplexe sur le menu, je donne un 3* par rapport à ce que j'ai commandé ( agneau), il y'a beaucoup trop de tomates ça ressemble plus à une chekchouka un peu trop acide qu'autre chose ... les huîtres sont une valeur sûre! Le service un peu lent mais j'imagine que c'est normal puisque c'est nouveau, il est un peu difficile à comprendre le menu j'ai demandé à la serveuse quelle grandeur était l'agneau elle m'a fait un signe avec ses mains alors que l'agneau est effiloché dans de la tomate... il est écrit tajine au poulet alors que c'est 3 croquettas espagnol ... je vais y retourner pour explorer d'autres plats dans le menu car j'ai bien aimé l'endroit, très joli avec de la bonne musique...
