Why Travelers Love Cocteau Restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We celebrated our one-year anniversary here and it was perfect. The cake I ordered was presented beautifully, the manager was welcoming and attentive, and the food was outstanding. The atmosphere made the night unforgettable an amazing experience all around! Nice atmosphere and good service food is tasty but small portions This restaurant holds a traditional, iconic status, but unfortunately, it relies more on its name and location than the quality of its food. I hadn’t been in years and was genuinely disappointed when I went back. The food was below average across the board. The beef stroganoff, which used to be my favorite dish here, was terrible this time — and the salad and dessert weren’t any better. In fact, the dessert was the worst part of the meal. To make matters worse, both my friend and I felt sick after dining there. It’s a shame to see a place with such a legacy lose its touch.

The steak was rare , the baked potatoe was hard like a rock. The fish filet wasn't seasoned. We waited 15 min to get the menu although it wasn't crowded. Overpriced for nothing special.

Cocteau wasn’t that impressive. The food quality didn’t meet expectations, with the escalope being too oily, and the overall ambiance wasn’t great. Service felt intrusive, which made the experience uncomfortable. Could have been better.
