Where do Vip’s go on the weekend? They feed their souls and spend their savings on designer furniture at the Saint Ouen flea market, particularly Marché Paul Bert, the very VIP antiquing corner. After their stroll, those in the know make a beeline for Ma Cocotte, a very upscale restaurant, imagined like a gourmet bordello by Starck for easy eats and a little drinking.
Mundane eats: they play on a relaxed low key menu with grandmother dishes: cold ratatouille with coddled egg, free-range chicken on a spit à and fries to share at the table(22€) raw beef tartare and baba au rhum. The must ? Having a cocktail around a tempting plate at 6pm.
We adore: the hidden terrace on the first floor, for very « incognito » tanning and chatting.
Who do you run into? Sarah Lavoine as well as Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix…
Dress code: designer sunglasses are a must to give a chic touch to relaxed outfits, appropriate to strolling. Heels are forbidden, except if they are comfortable and with platforms.
