New French eatery offers a unique culinary experience

Cocottine features a decor scheme that brings to mind the sparkling sea and sky of the Cote d'Azur in France. Its interior design captures the atmosphere of a French bistro.

The new restaurant, which opened in July in Parkview Green mall in Beijing, has a distinctly southern French soul.

It's a melting pot of diverse cultural influences. Cocottine's cuisine not only includes southern French-style food but also incorporates flavors from Spain, Italy, North Africa and further afield.
