Consistently excellent. Service, food, execution, creativity for an essentially country French restaurant outstanding.

Le Coucou is special. The food is rich, classic, and perfectly done without feeling over the top. Every dish feels thoughtful, from the sauces to the presentation. The room is beautiful but still comfortable, and the service is calm and confident. It’s the kind of place you go for a real dining experience, not just a meal. Worth it.

This is probably my favourite restaurant in New York. The food is always delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is amazing. You must try the tartare with caviar and the crème brûlée. Our sommelier was simply magical! I haven't had such amazing wine in a long time! This was my second visit, and I will definitely be back.

One of the best restaurants in NYC. The food is just amazing. Every dish is the best thing you have ever had (or at least this week if you eat at Michelin Starred restaurants every week). The maniacs in the kitchen (you hear them yell "Ouii" after every order is read by the Sou Chef as you eat) are incredibly talented and have attention to detail that would normally be considered a problem. The service is excellent as well. Everything was properly paced, and all the service was smooth and unobtrusive (unfortunately for wait staff, if you can't remember them even being there they did their job at the highest level). I've been here for lunch and dinner and both were occasions I won't forget.

I was really offended by the front desk today, as we were first in the door right as they opened and asked to sit aside for 15 min and wait as 4-5 other parties got seated (without reservations) as they “got ready”. While being outside on a cold day, the front desk lady also didn’t even bother to open the door for us as she lifted the locks for incoming parties. For a lovely establishment like this to treat guests this way, it’s immediately a no for me. I don’t care how good the food is, this was flat out rude.

Made us wait an hour to be seated even though we had a reservation . Appetizers weren’t that good either.

Le Coucou has been on my list for what feels like forever, and I’m so happy we finally made it in to experience it. From the moment we sat down, it was clear why this spot has the reputation it does. The menu, while reading as incredibly exotic and uniquely curated, reveals so many thoughtful intricacies once the dishes actually arrive. Each plate feels like a quiet little masterpiece! Bold in flavor and elegant in technique! We decided to lean into our server’s recommendations, and happy we did! Every single dish was truly mouthwatering in its own way. We started with the eggplant, then came the sliced tuna, perfectly seasoned and impossibly fresh, with a silky texture that practically melted the moment it touched your tongue. The fish dish with the buttery mousse was to die for, one of those plates you already start craving again halfway through eating it. Beyond the food, the entire experience felt intentional and intimate, from the knowledgeable service to the way each dish was delivered with just enough context to make you appreciate the craftsmanship behind it Safe to say Le Coucou fully lived up to the hype fand then some!!)

Everything was perfect — the food, the service… well, except for the bill. They took their time bringing it, but hey, no complaints 🤣 The veal stew mid-course was absolutely heavenly, and the veal chops were truly to die for. The open kitchen was a masterpiece on its own — no smell, just chefs working like artists driven by pure passion.

Le Coucou is an absolute gem — the elegant, candle-lit dining room feels both timeless and intimate. The open kitchen adds a warm, theatrical touch, and every dish is beautifully crafted with classic French technique. The veal sweetbreads with tarragon cream were divine, and the lamb chop reminded me of springtime on a plate. Service was polished yet very friendly, with staff guiding us through the menu effortlessly. The wine list is thoughtful and well paired. Finally, their Crème Brûlée was a perfect, indulgent finish to an unforgettable evening.
