"Cocody is luxurious—the kind of place dressed in shades of gold and light pink where you could pay $300 for a meal. But we suggest ordering the four-course tasting experience for $120, which gives you a full rundown of what the restaurant offers (as long as your entire table is down for it). Diners celebrate birthdays over slivers of roasted duck wrapped around small plum lollies or a caramel panna cotta served with a bubbling sherry cocktail. And if you’re feeling fancy early in the day, come to Cocody’s weekend brunch and cosplay being the sort of person who spends their Sundays sunbathing with a crab omelet soufflé." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
"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
"Helmed by veteran chefs Lionel Debon and David Denis, who incorporate French cooking techniques, Cocody’s most arresting dishes include pan-seared Hudson Valley foie gras, formed on a gingerbread base and finished with poached pear and black currant sauce, and the succulent roasted moulard duck breast, served with celery root puree. If the food isn’t enough of a draw (and it should be), you can always go to be surrounded by its chicly modernist — and very pink — decor." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Prepare to be charmed by Cocody’s chic pink decor before diving into its French-inspired dishes. Standouts at this River Oaks Shopping Center spot include the gingerbread-based foie gras with poached pear and the roasted moulard duck breast with celery root puree. Cocody also features its signature lollies. Available for dinner and dessert, these fun morsels give diners big flavor in a little bite. Try the smoked duck breast lolly, which comes on a mini baguette with plum and orange confit, or the black truffle lolly that’s paired with Brie de Meaux and honeycomb." - Marcy de Luna
"This elegant French restaurant offers a variety of private dining options, including a relaxed lounge area for more casual mingling, a patio that seats 50, and its dining room, which seats 180 for more formal dinners or celebratory events. Possibly the coolest dining area is the chef’s table, which seats 16 people. Here, diners experience a personalized meal and get prime views into Cocody’s high-tech kitchen through a one-sided window. The restaurant’s menu is just as versatile as the rooms, with appetizers like lobster deviled eggs, bite-sized morsels called Lolly’s, and beautifully plated entrees like duck breast and Chilean sea bass served with brown butter romanesco." - Marcy de Luna
