Best Authentic Restaurants in Hintonburg

First off, you need to order the mussels, because they are just like Nonna made them. The marinara mussels are going to make you ask for more bread, you’ll want to soak up all the sauce (don’t say I didn’t warn you) I ordered the salmon, it was delicious, my wife ordered the chicken parm and couldn’t finished it, it was great and now I have lunch for today. Didn’t have any room but we decided on double espressos and tiramisu, somehow there was room for it! If you can, ask for Stefanos he’s an amazing server and a great guy! I spoke Italian to him throughout the entire dinner and then found out he’s Greek and just happens to know Italian among many other languages. Talented guy right here! Very attentive and it was a pleasure to share limoncello shots at the end. You gotta eat here!

10/10. Perfect for date night. My fav spot in Ottawa right now. Tonight the service was exceptional and can’t wait to go back. Love that they have non alcoholic options and the dessert is elevated and delicious. Just fun!

We had a great time. The atmosphere was great. You MUST get the duck. It’s their best item in the menu. The cod was good but lacked some taste. Overall would go again and get the Duck for myself and not share it with my gf

Cocotte Bistro was a perfect choice for our family holiday dinner. The menu offered multiple inviting options. All items that we selected were delicious. The friendly service was appreciated. We were delighted with our visit.

The waiter in particular was very chatty and helpful. We had a fun time. Also noteworthy, the chef has gone out of his way to deliver variations on popular dishes. As we have eaten in many South Asian restaurants getting a creative spin on old favourites is a very good thing indeed. a very worthwhile evening!
