A great location, friendly and casual atmosphere and a menu that would appeal to many different tastes make Koko Japanese Bistro a good choice in la Villette. It's located right next to the canal de l'Ourcq , steps from a multiplex cinema in an area that's scenic and inviting for a stroll. Our group had draft beer, French wine, appetizers and main courses: grilled eggplant , seaweed salad, chilled tofu, shrimp donburi, vegetarian dinner salad, veggie rolls.
