Cocody

"First find yourself dazzled by the chic and very pink decor, and then prepare to be amazed by the dishes. Crafted by veteran chefs Lionel Debon and David Denis, who incorporate French cooking techniques, showstopping dishes include the pan-seared Hudson Valley foie gras, concocted with a gingerbread base and finished with poached pear and black currant sauce, and the succulent roasted moulard duck breast, served with celery root puree and a drizzle of foie gras sauce." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Located in the River Oaks Shopping Center, this French-inspired restaurant showcases interiors by Winn Wittman Architects and Nina Magon. The elegant 7,000-square-foot space shines with crystal lights, onyx paneling, pink granite-topped tables, and purple-hued, flower-inspired banquettes — a palatable setting for dishes like roasted Moulard duck breast, slow-baked Chilean sea bass, and roasted chicken breast." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley

"Billed as one of the prettiest new restaurants in Houston, Cocody offers a colorful, fancy brunch spread. Stop in and try Patagonia salmon with miso yuzu sauce and a spinach souffle, a fine dining take on chicken and waffles, a truffle egg scramble, or pan-seared foie gras with gingerbread and poached pears. Oh la la!" - Eater Staff

"Cocody is luxurious—the kind of French place dressed in shades of gold and light pink where you’ll pay $300 for a meal. The menu is extensive, but we suggest ordering the four-course tasting experience, for only $120, which gives you a full rundown of what the restaurant has to offer (as long as your entire table is down for it). People here are usually celebrating a birthday over slivers of roasted duck wrapped around tiny plum lollies, or a caramel pannacotta served with a steaming sherry cocktail. And come to Cocody’s weekend brunch and cosplay being the sort of person that spends their Sundays sunbathing with a crab omelet soufflé." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
