Cocos

Unforgettable Flavors with Effortless Style

Nestled in the bustling heart of Crystal Palace's charming triangle, Coco's is a gem gleaming with vibrant Caribbean flair. Upon entry, you're embraced by a beautifully crafted ambiance where each decorative piece seems to whisper tales of island warmth. The gentle hum of a live saxophonist fills the air on certain evenings, creating an elegiac symphony of melody and dining that effortlessly soothes the soul while you indulge. Kirk, the gracious air of this establishment, ensures a personal touch, often greeting guests himself—a gesture that more like welcoming old friends than serving new patrons.

The diverse menu, with a keen eye for gluten-free and vegan options, reads like a comforting letter from home. Each dish, be it the tender boneless Curry Goat with its rich, sumptuous sauce or the perfectly seasoned crispy skinned seabass, evokes vivid afternoon skies swirled with bright accents of island spices. Coco’s cocktails deserve special mention; their rum punch, crafted with Wrays and Nephew, is clearly deserving of its devout following. Staff, particularly the charismatic Spence and delightful Charlene, epitomize our hosts—attentive, quick-witted, and sparking a lively camaraderie that elevates the entire dining experience. If the succulent allure of pork belly or the charm of soul serenades sets your heart aflame, Coco’s promises an enduring affair worth every step into this flavorful sanctum. — Clarissa Cuisinier
