As one admired restaurant departs (we’re sad to see 8 Hoxton Square go but at least you can still enjoy their sister restaurant, 10 Greek Street), another is welcomed in to the Shoreditch fold. Cocotte, a French rotisserie restaurant opened its original digs in Notting Hill to great acclaim. Now they’re heading East with their herby chicken, super salads and *those* awesome sauces. Advanced preparation is key to their clucking good chicken. Mixed with sunflower oil, paprika and their secret herb blend (we were reliably informed tarragon and thyme take lead) the birds are marinated for 24 hou...

Our knifes sliced through our steaks with ease and the pink meat was dripping with flavour. When our Greek waiter Spiros served up the giant hunks of beef I didn't think I would manage the whole thing. But it was all so delicious, I swiftly polished it off with my knife and fork making fast work. I'd ordered a 680g Sign...
