London export Cocotte has opened its doors in JBR.
Any eatery with outposts in the likes of Notting Hill, Shoreditch and South Kensington will catch our attention, and Cocotte is no exception. Selecting The Walk in JBR as its first site outside of London, the rotisserie concept was devised by founder and chef Romain Bourrillon, who has created a menu filled with healthy and delicious homemade dishes using techniques that he honed during his time working in Belgium’s Michelin-starred restaurants.
Here in Dubai, Cocotte has partnered with F&B heavyweights Eathos, the same group behind Sushi Art, Kababji and Rosa’s Thai. CEO Nadim Majdalani says, “We are delighted to be partnering with such a unique, established and exciting brand like Cocotte. At Eathos, we focus on introducing a diverse portfolio of compelling brands with contemporary culinary offerings to the forefront of the restaurant industry in the GCC. We’re looking forward to being part of the great growth story of Cocotte in our region.”
Naturally, the star of Cocotte’s menu is the chicken – think: French-inspired flavours, lovingly marinated for 24 hours in a blend of Herbes de Provence and secret spices before being cooked to perfection on a traditional rotisserie spit. The finished result is a beautifully moist and tasty chicken with a glorious, golden skin. Diners can choose between a full (AED 122), half (AED 63), or quarter chicken (AED 43). Every star needs an epic support act, which spans salads, ratatouille, rosemary fries, and a decadent truffle mac and cheese. Elsewhere, a range of seven sauces have been perfected to complement the chicken (truffle mayo, tarragon mustard, and Cocotte’s signature chicken jus included).
Chef Romain Bourrillon says, “We are thrilled to open Cocotte Dubai, our first location outside of London. This is an incredibly exciting move as we know that many expats and Emiratis alike love Cocotte, whether they are from London or have visited as tourists. It’s great that they can now enjoy our famous French-inspired rotisserie delights in Dubai. We are also very excited to be partnering with Eathos, who are behind some exceptional existing concepts in the GCC and we look forward to every success in our venture with them.”
