This was a highly recommended one Michelin star restaurant in NYC. I would probably give it 7/10.
Service was impeccable, and the drinks were amazing. I got two cocktails that were like milk punches I think. They came with ice engraved with the Le Coucou logo.
As for the food, I would say it was alright overall. I’ve definitely had tastier one Michelin star restaurants, such as Osito in SF which I posted previously.
I thought the amuse Bouche and the appetizers were better than the mains and the best dish was definitely the eel. It was probably the best tasting eel I’ve ever had and the cucumbers that came with it were in a delicious sauce.
The beef main was unmemorable aside from the bone marrow that was generously scooped on top of it. The potatoes that accompanied the beef were very well done and I enjoyed the oxtail that came with it.
I had a Tawny with my desserts, which were fine.
The bill was on the expensive side for a one Michelin star restaurant. We ordered a prie fixe for four people, but you can also order a la carte. My friend who had been there before said the rabbit main was outstanding, but unfortunately we did not get to try it as part of the prie fixe.
Overall, I was happy to have tried it, but would not go there again.

Le Coucou is so good. The quality will always be up to par and the service is impeccable. It is on the expensive side but in a lot of respects you leaving feeling like you get what you pay for. Breakfast service is more affordable and a delightful experience. It’s like a hidden secret. You see a lot of NYC luminaries popping in at breakfast. Highly recommend.

I went for lunch in February and it was a beautiful meal (a la carte). The drink I had was Danse Macabre and it was one of the most wonderful cocktails I’d had in a long time. Sorry you only had a medium meal!

Rum, lime, lavender, earl grey, milk. Awfully simple recipe, which indicates a remarkable talent behind the bar. What stood out for you?
