Cocotte

Communal country dining with French flair
Popular plate: The exquisitely marinated poulet roti (roast chicken) is a stand-out menu item.

Word to the wise: The three-course set lunch offered on weekdays is excellent value at SGD 32.
Unpretentious yet utterly inspired, Cocotte is undoubtedly the best place in town to sample French home cooking. Trained at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu Institute in Paris, head chef Anthony Yeoh and his team serve up typical French fare designed to be shared, from the creamy Dijon roast pork collar to the burger-style escargot gougeres.

The restaurant has a relaxed, communal atmosphere, with the restored timber flooring and vintage pots and wine crates artfully placed around the venue only adding to the provincial cottage-like ambience.
