Had a delightful meal at Le Coucou. Vibes were great and the hospitality was impeccable. We had chilled leeks with hazelnuts, tartare, quenelle, and tout le lapin (all of the rabbit). Everything was delicious with the quenelle, rabbit loin, and rabbit stock being absolute hits. Cannot recommend Le Coucou enough.
Without a doubt, this is my favourite restaurant in NYC. What a wonderful experience from start to finish. This was the first time we’ve dined at a restaurant in NYC where we didn’t feel rushed. We were able to enjoy our conversation without constant interruptions, repeated check-ins, or any pressure to finish quickly. Every course was served at the perfect pace, and the staff never hurried to clear the table while we were still enjoying our meal. Having spent time dining in France, this is exactly the kind of experience I always associate with great French restaurants—unhurried, relaxed, and centred around enjoying both the food and the company. It’s something I’ve been hoping to find in NYC, and this is the first restaurant that truly delivered that feeling. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was exceptional. I’m so happy I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday because everything was absolutely perfect. A special thank you to Angelo, who was incredibly kind, warm, and attentive. He made us feel truly welcome, and his hospitality made an already wonderful evening even more memorable.
We visited Le Coucou for dinner. Getting a reservation was fairly easy — booking about a month ahead on the reservation platform was pretty relaxed, no real struggle. The foie gras was very good — tender and springy, but not in a dense, creamy way. It had an almost pudding-like texture, which was unexpected and quite nice. The duck à l’orange was another highlight — a generous portion, and the orange paired really nicely with the duck. The beef was also well done, nicely tender. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. Prices are on the slightly expensive side. The seasoning here is on the heavier side — some people find it too salty, but for us it was fine, and it actually paired really well with wine. Overall a solid one-star French dinner. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Such a great restaurant for special occasions! We ordered prime steak and lamp chops, both were absolutely delicious! And omg, crème brûlée was 100/10!! Also, chef send us as a gift mini freshly baked Madeleine cookies, it was out the world! Our server was amazing, I forgot his name. The only thing we were ordered that was pretty ordinary is leeks with hazelnuts. Overall great experience!
