The story
At CôCô - Indochine in Nürnberg, the kitchen focuses on straightforward Asian cooking that balances flavor with everyday nutrition. The team prepares meals using fresh ingredients rather than heavy sauces, keeping portions light and focused on natural textures. This approach aligns with their recent recognition by the Schlemmer Atlas, which highlights the venue as an urban spot delivering substantial regional fare. Guests can expect daily preparations that prioritize clean ingredients over complicated techniques.
The menu leans heavily on shared plates and hearty bowls that suit both solo lunches and group dinners. Marinated seaweed salad appears frequently as a crisp starter, while larger gatherings often order the substantial sushi platter designed for four people. Thai curries simmer with aromatic spices, and noodle plates provide a comforting base for vegetables and proteins. Plant-based options remain central to the kitchen's philosophy, ensuring vegetarian guests receive equally satisfying portions.
Located on Augustinerstraße, the space maintains a relaxed urban atmosphere that encourages lingering over leisurely meals. Wooden tables and neutral tones create a backdrop that keeps attention on the food rather than the decor. Service remains unobtrusive, allowing conversations to flow naturally between courses. The layout accommodates both quick midday breaks and extended weekend dining sessions.
