Le Coucou

Such an incredible evening at Le Coucou! We celebrated our anniversary with a beautiful set menu, amazing drinks, champagne and dessert. I can’t say enough about the entire experience, the ambiance, food and service. I have seen others post about the cost, but I honestly don’t think there is a respect for this level of service, attention to detail and five star service. We have dined several times here and it is worth every penny. So if you’re looking for an amazing experience, food and service - you must visit when in NYC.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and had a great time! The services was impeccable, all the staff were friendly and courteous. The restaurant itself is beautiful, but unfortunately we were not really able to enjoy the ambiance because we were tucked in the back facing the open kitchen. The food itself was very flavorful and true to French cuisine: rich and indulging. Yum! Overall, it was a great diner but we paid $400+ for 2 people and I personally think that was too expensive for what we got.

Definitely an all around 5 star experience. We got the $125 set menu (I think that was the price). Came with an appetizer, main, and dessert. For the appetizer I got the pike mousse and lobster sauce, which was very interesting. It sounds a little strange but it was actually delicious, definitely a must try for the experience. For the main, I had the veal chop with porcini. It was HUGE, although the meat is a little chewy but I think that might just have been how the meat was. Dessert was probably my favorite course, Marjolaine (hazelnut dacquoise and cream, chocolate ganache). It was beautifully rich, with a nice crunch and differentiated layers. They ended with some complimentary macaroons and chocolate.
