Jan Mangelschots has clearly pondered and puzzled over every detail of the delightful Cocotte from the Art deco stained-glass, natural light and soothing colour scheme to its swish, uncluttered vibe and art-directed plating. Consummate yet subtle execution and intense sauces depict both the classical à la carte and the set menus. The chef has a flair for adding a sophisticated spin to a terrine of asparagus and squid served with a chilled asparagus soup and cream of smoked eel. Everything, from the food to the service, is bang-on confident and brimming in personality.
