What a surprise! Walked into this restaurant this evening and did not know what to expect. Let me tell you one thing: It is great! Beeing an European I have tasted a lot of so called "italian" food in PDC. This place though gives you the best from the european kitchen at a very affordable rate. The staff is great,... More

I am truly amazed that this place is not packed to the rafters. I have just left this restaurant and I just had to say its amazing. Everyone working understands the concept that the food is fresh and locally sourced. Even down to the fresh herbs growing outside. The food was truly decadent. The service impeccable and charming. I can... More

I never thought that foie grais or duck confit would be meeting my palette while being in Playa del Carmen but it happened and with great delight. The menu changes regularly depending on what is available and they do prepare their meals here with detail and heart. I of course can not resist in having the two previously mentioned meals.... More

Hi sir, Thank you for visiting cocotte cita. Concerning the wine list, we have 35 different wines, which is not spectacular but not "poor" ever, moreover we are trying to offer a good choice of taste and price. I have to rectify what you wrote about the price of the foie gras. It is not 20 USD but 200 MXN,... More

We stumbled upon this tiny gem of a restaurant and are glad that we did! The service was perfect and the waiters were charming and so entertaining! Ask to hear the Darth Vader imitation. The food was great. Two of us ordered the seafood risotto and was impressed by the generous portion of fresh seafood atop a bowl of creamy... More

The food is excellent. there is a good wine list, the french wines were very good and reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and helpful although service can be a bit slow due to the Bistro being very busy,... More

If you're looking for the non-touristic fine dining experience in Playa del Carmen, you have to walk the 5th Ave. past the 30. If you love wine, cheese and chocolate, french style, Cocotte Cita is your place. Concrete menu, concrete french options: soup á la ognion, fois gras, chevre-chaud, poisson, et créme bruleé. It's all in there together with some... More

It is a small bistro type restaurant with an excellent cuisine but with just one more waiter, the service would be in tune with the rest. When the chef/owner/waiter and the single other waiter can manage to come around your table, they are quite pleasant, unfortunately having to wait to be attended can be quite frustrating. I believe they will... More

We went with a group of 6 as we had heard good things. The service was very slow and we had to ask for drinks etc. There appeared to be only 2 servers for about 12 tables which were all full. Four of us did not enjoy the meals ordered- bland chicken, and over cooked fish. The restaurant needs to... More
