Delightful les cocottes in the 7th arrondissement

Reservation for restaurants in Paris is almost essential if not compulsory even for the smallest of places.  So Les Cocottes de Constant seems like the perfect choice for impromptu dining as it operates on a first come first served basis.  The hip, informal and cosy atmosphere is fitting for the cocottes that this modern eatery is famous for.  The new twist on such classic dishes as stuffed pig's feet and potatoes and beef bourguigone are unmistakably versions from the 2010s.

Les Cocettes is one of the three Christian Constant creations after his long career as the executive chef for the 2-star Michelin Les Ambassadeurs at Le Crillon Hotel.  Here, the simplicity of the food only accentuates the quality of the ingredients and that is what I love about it.  I can't wait to check out his other two restaurants, Violon d'ingres and Cafe Constant, on the same street at Rue Saint Dominique.
