Recently opened in Soho, in the heart of Central, Cochin is part gourmet French delicatessen, part chic restaurant and part aperitif bar, making for the perfect spot for urban warriors looking to wind down their day with a range of French delicacies and a glass of fine wine.
A focal point for French cooking and excellent ingredients from the Mediterranean and beyond, Cochin delivers a rustic dining atmosphere with rare produce of incredible quality, echoing the golden age of La Belle Époque without sacrificing the easy, approachable ambiance of a true neighbourhood dining experience. With warm tones, wooden panelling and beautiful Mediterranean tiled walls, Cochin was built for lingering dining.
Led by acclaimed chef and director Renaud Marin, formerly of Upper Modern Bistro and St. George, Cochin’s menu reflects his Mediterranean heritage and international work experience, accentuating classic French cooking with worldly twists. Its breakfast menu features a section dedicated to the exquisite Japanese Taiyouran egg, served in a variety of classic ways, while the lunch menu includes a semi-buffet option for starters and desserts, as well as a range of delectable main courses from the kitchen. At dinner, Cochin comes alike, with the bustle of the open kitchen, the vitality of the bar, and the elegance of the main dining room coming together to offer an exceptional dining experience for business travellers looking to impress.
Deli-wise, Cochin’s all-day comptoir menu is full of respect for natural flavours, featuring a carpaccio selection, premium charcuterie and Marchand Brothers cheese platters. An array of small and big plates designed for sharing is also available, including the deliciously playful Rabbit Mini-Burgers, hearty lamb pot au feu, oven-roasted beef ribs, and salt-crusted New Zealand snapper. www.cochin.hk
