French Elegance, Without the Formalities.

At Le Coucou, celebrated Chef Daniel Rose brings his distinctive personality to classic French cuisine, creating an experience that is both sophisticated and refreshingly unstuffy. A recipient of the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant and a Michelin star, this SoHo destination celebrates traditional French cooking with imagination and flair. Soaring ceilings, glowing chandeliers, and a dramatic open kitchen provide the backdrop for beautifully executed dishes, from delicate quenelles to Dover sole. Elegant yet full of life, Le Coucou invites guests to enjoy the pleasures of French dining with a sense of occasion, a little playfulness, and absolutely no pretense.
