"Cocody is luxurious—the kind of place dressed in shades of gold and light pink where you could pay $300 for a meal. But we suggest ordering the four-course tasting experience for $120, which gives you a full rundown of what the restaurant offers (as long as your entire table is down for it). Diners celebrate birthdays over slivers of roasted duck wrapped around small plum lollies or a caramel panna cotta served with a bubbling sherry cocktail. And if you’re feeling fancy early in the day, come to Cocody’s weekend brunch and cosplay being the sort of person who spends their Sundays sunbathing with a crab omelet soufflé." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
