OPENS SPRING 2020
Following the success of its two existing restaurants in Notting Hill and Hoxton, the folk behind roast chicken restaurant Cocotte are planning to open a third, this time in Parsons Green. Located on the site once occupied by Modern European restaurant Boma Green, this new branch of Cocotte plans to serve up more of the same succulent roast chicken and accompanying salads that’s made it such a popular dining destination elsewhere in the capital.
Cocotte only uses high-welfare French chickens that have lived outdoors, so those conscious about animal wellbeing can indulge without any guilt. That said, there’s plenty on the menu that’s made without meat at all, from inventive salads involving ingredients such as roasted corn, guacamole and aubergine caviar to croquettes, though rotisserie chicken is undoubtedly the star of the show at Cocotte.
Chicken is sold whole, in halves and in quarters, so diners simply need to choose a size and a sauce, such as garlic mayo or coriander pesto, and add a side – perhaps a fresh green salad or something carby like fries or truffled mac and cheese. Cocotte Parsons Green will also open for breakfast and brunch on the weekends, so guests can indulge in the likes of croissant waffles, French toast, egg parfait with ratatouille, and various sandwiches.
As well as actual meals, Cocotte serves up sharing boards laden with meats and cheeses along with a great range of beverages. There are spritzs, cocktails, beers, ciders, spirits and a good selection of French wines, making it an easy choice for a post-work drink and snack (though once the aromas from the kitchen hit your nose, we’re betting you’ll decide to stay for dinner).
There’s no exact opening date for this new outpost, but rest assured we’ll keep you updated. In the meantime, if this has given you a craving for roast chicken, check out Cocotte Hoxton or Notting Hill.
