La P'tite Cocotte

Saturday night in Brive la Gaillarde. We wanted a French restaurant, and La Petite Cocotte was our choice, without a reservation. The meal is designed to have sharing plates, similar to a tapas bar. The house special sangria with apricot juice entertained our noses and palettes until our food arrived. We started with the zucchini fritters. They were lightly breaded and fried, but the house-made tzatziki was very good. We followed with 3 mains: limousin beef tartare (with French bread); sautéed chickpeas with roasted cauliflower and avocado with a tahini sauce; and my absolute favourite, duck tataki with orange. I will eat here again just to have the duck, but everything was delicious! We finished with chocolate lava cake (semi cooked chocolate) with ice cream, with coffees to finish. The staff were friendly, helpful to English speakers, and very attentive. Overall, the best meal of our current travels.

Dinner: served in Tapas style with small dishes. One might have to wait for a long time for the dishes.

Away from the noisy and crowed tourist traps, La P'tite Cocotte is situated in a quite, pedestrians only zone. The interior is basic, but light and attractive. The menu is as it should be: short, but well balanced and consisting mainly of local products. Short supply chains, you know. Tourists need to know that their beloved French countryside needs (much) more of this to survive as it is! Anyway, ad tasty, well made dishes, fine service and a very decent price to all that and I end up with five stars... So much more worth every € spent than many pretentious places twice as expensive.

the food was amazing, the location was amazing and the serfice was amazing. Im in a wheelchair at the moment and everyone was really nice and helped me out. I really reccomend!

Really very lovely. Great food, local produce, beautiful service!

Excellent

Très très belle découverte. De passage sur Brive, nous avons passé un excellent moment dans cet établissement, la salle est très jolie, un service impeccable et agréable et surtout la cuisine est extrêmement savoureuse. Merci à vous et au plaisir de revenir dîner chez vous

Superbe découverte, la cuisine est vraiment bonnes , j'ai vraiment bien mangé avec des produits de qualité, le service est irréprochable par contre j'étais a côté d'une table de 6 personnes qui étais vraiment bouillante mais bin ça le restaurant ne peut pas le gérer malheureusement. Je recommande ce restaurant car c'est vraiment bon avec des très bon produits
