Coquette

The food was excellent. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Lanie was amazing! She shared her experience as a customer before joining as apart of the team. She recommended her favorites and they did not disappoint. There was no wait. Everyone was friendly and pitched in as a team. This was perfect for two people. We split everything and it was just enough.

🍄 Appetizers The Tarte Aux Champignons (Mushroom Tart) was absolutely delectable. The crispy, buttery pastry served as the perfect base for a medley of perfectly cooked mushrooms. The balance of textures and flavors made it a standout dish—we could have easily had one each to ourselves! 🍳 Mains The Omelette à La Française was herby and buttery, with a delightful side salad that added a refreshing touch. However, there was a bit too much butter for our liking, which slightly overshadowed the dish. The Saumon Fumé Benedict had a comforting toast and the salmon was light and airy, though the presentation wasn’t as special as we expected. The star of the show was the Duck Fat Fried Chicken Sandwich, which was elevated by the variety of aioli sauce options. 🍮 Desserts We didn’t try any desserts this time, but the table beside us ordered desserts exclusively. The presentation suggested their dessert menu would be worth exploring on a future visit. 🎖️ Service It was a packed Saturday brunch, but our server managed to be attentive and accommodating despite the busy atmosphere. Their effort to ensure we were taken care of was appreciated. ⭐️ Overall Rating (4.2/5) From the lovely outdoor seating to the charming interior touches (don’t miss the golden goose water faucets in the restrooms!), this spot is perfect for a cozy brunch with friends.

From the moment that my mother and I walked in the door, we were greeted and treated with warmth and respect. As soon as we sat down at the bar, the bartender, Magyn treated us as family and noted with great detail when we expressed we both have extreme food allergies. Both managers (Patrick and Fabien) took great care in assuring us they could accommodate us and creating a wonderful experience, and the chefs/kitchen staff went above and beyond to accommodate our allergies. It has been difficult while in town to find places that take our food conditions seriously, and it was refreshing to be amongst people who not only cared but went out of their way to make us feel accepted and normal as far as our cuisine. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this restaurant. Even the staff who wasn’t working with us was friendly and helped us if we asked a question. I highly recommend Copuette, and will be visiting again the next time I am in town.

Absolutely amazing time last Thursday for Restaurant Week and 2nd French restaurant in town I’ve tried. I’d previously been to Coquette for a couple of their cocktails but it was great to finally try their food Thursday. Phenomenal quality. My steak was cooked rare to perfection and the crème brulee was fantastic. Service was top notch, the staff really seemed to care about our experience and we never went looking for them when we needed them. My friend and I were sat at a table with a great view too. 10/10 experience, would come again for dinner at some point.

Coquette delivers on the promise of a memorable meal with a side of Southern charm and just enough French flair to keep things interesting. Every dish we tried held its own, but the bone marrow and lamb? Absolute headliners. Rich, savory, and cooked with the kind of care that makes you wish you had just one more bite. We started at the bar—stellar service, great cocktails—and then moved to a table where the attentiveness continued without missing a beat. The ambiance is chic but welcoming. It’s not quite a 5 star revelation, but Definitely worth a visit.

This was my first visit to Coquette, and all I can say is WOW! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely decadent. Our server, Roger, was a true professional—attentive without hovering, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was phenomenal. I ordered the Sole, and my companion had the Coq au Vin—both were exceptional. For dessert, I had the Sabayon Cream paired with an Espresso, and honestly, words don’t do it justice. Just incredible. The ambiance is spot-on—elegant yet relaxed. It’s perfect for a date night or a small group gathering. Not overly loud, and they seem to handle midweek groups with ease. If you have the chance to dine here, do it. Highly recommend!

Some friends and I visited for brunch this morning and had the most incredible experience- every part of our experience was impressive. The friendly service from management, great recommendations from our server Francesca, incredible drinks made by the bartenders, and delicious coffees and pastries. The food was incredible (shout out to the chefs) and everything we had was spectacular (oysters, croque monsieur, and the mushroom tart were some of the stars of the show). One of my favorite dining experiences I’ve ever had. I’ll be recommending this spot to everyone and will definitely be returning to try more things from the menu on my next trip to Charlotte!

Went to Coquette for Queens Fest and was pleased! We snagged a sweet little table for two by the window with major cozy vibes. The place gave off a whimsical tea party aesthetic (very “grandma meets chic”). Started strong with oysters and the Brussels sprout salad. Let me just say the Brussels were AMAZING!!. Rich, flavorful, and kinda stole the whole show. For mains, we split the duck fried chicken (yum) and the steak (eh). The steak tasted like it took a bath instead of a sear with zero sizzle, zero seasoning. The mayo potatoes didn’t show up for me either, and the green beans? Gave “fresh from the fridge, not the skillet.” Dessert was a rollercoaster. We came for the crème brûlée but were told it had already packed up and left for the night (get there early because it was gone by 8pm). They swapped it with a flaky apple tart, which basically felt like someone spread thick apple jelly on pastry and called it a day, BUT redemption came in the form of a tiny brownie that totally hit the spot. All in all, a cute little date night. The ambiance was giving, the chicken was tender, and while not every dish brought their A-game, I left with a happy belly and a good memory.

Thoroughly enjoyed Coquette for Sunday brunch! Loved the atmosphere and service. The decor and quaintness of it all was very cozy! The brioche French toast was perfectly sweet and savory without being over the top sweet. The brioche was like bread pillows, lol! The Crevette Pochees was so fresh, and the accommodating aioli was perfect! Their selection of teas is top notch as well! I love a good quality tea! Can't wait to visit again!

Food we got: Croissants aux Escargots (chartreuse butter, seaweed, dill) - These were tiny escargot croissants with a lot of butter; you get 3 per order. Pan-Seared Foie Gras (crostini with compote of lingonberry & shallots) - I loved the flavors of this; there were 3 per order. Moules Marinières (mussels with white wine, shallots, garlic, butter cream, fennel & garlic streusel) - I enjoyed this a lot. I would recommend to get an order of bread to soak up the broth. Apple Tarte Tatin (caramelized apples, puff pastry, cinnamon & star anise ice cream , caramel) - I was surprised to see this on the menu in the middle of a hot summer. Spiced ice cream and apples are generally more autumn flavors. However, I am glad this was on the menu. The star anise and cinnamon really stand out and balanced the sweet caramel apples well. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner here. However, the hors d'oeuvres were pricey for what we got, and table bread should never be an extra cost. Not in a French restaurant. The interior is very pretty, loved the chairs and the color scheme. Staff was friendly; not the most attentive but our needs we met.

Dined at Coquette with my mother for a brunch on a Saturday morning. Coquette is located in a great area in uptown Charlotte, parking could be tricky, but we were able to walk from our hotel! Reservations for weekend brunch open at 11am, and they may not be necessary for small parties. The restaurant is very chic with tons of French flair. The interior is gorgeous and we really appreciated the details in the design between the decor, to the furniture, it was all very nice! The service was very friendly. Our server was attentive and accommodating. To start, we ordered the pate. The Mousse de Paté included Goose, Duck & Pork Liver, Sauternes Wine, Rock Salt Dijon Mustard, Cornichons & Baguette. We both agreed this was by far the best pate we've had. It was very rich, flavorful, and smooth. The pate went perfectly on the warm baguette served with it, and was flavorful enough without the enhancement of the Dijon mustard. For our entrees, I ordered the Oeufs Cocotte and my mother ordered the Saumon Fumé Benedict. The Oeufs Cocotte included Two Baked Eggs, Mornay, Piperade, Bayonne Ham, Espelette, and brioche croutons. This was a rich and very filling dish. The eggs were cooked to perfection, the mornay was extremely creamy, the prosciutto added a nice saltiness, and the fresh herbs were the perfect touch! The Saumon Fumé Benedict Poached Eggs, Haricots Verts, Hollandaise, Toasted Brioche Smoked Salmon Fresh Herbs, and Espelette. This was also a very creamy, rich dish, with lots of sauce. The eggs were soft, the salmon was plentiful, and the fresh herbs added extra flavor. We opted to split one of their daily pastries - a pistachio French sticky bun. We were slightly disappointed in this. The flavors were decent, but the bun itself was dry. We grabbed some pastries to go, including a chocolate biscuit, peanut butter cookie, and chocolate eclair. The eclair was amazing! Super creamy with a thick, chocolately ganache on top. The chocolate biscuit was extremely rich, with a very intense chocolate flavor, only amplified by the sea salt on top. The peanut cookie was very good, moist, and soft. Overall, we enjoyed a very nice meal here. We really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. It is truly beautiful and very pleasing to the eye. The service was good. The only complaint we had was the food was very rich and slightly heavy. That being said, we still really enjoyed everything we ordered and were impressed! We would return and I would recommend coming here for brunch!

Add Coquette to the top of your list when you're looking for a total vibe in and outside for a ladies day out ! Not only does this restaurant fit the bill for one of the most aesthetically pleasing in the Queen City but the food , & staff is all top tier ! We ordered a bunch of dishes & shared along with cocktails & every single item nailed it ! I love the French doors the inside bakery area and the way the bar is set up inside. I was so impressed by their brunch menu I'm making plans to come back for dinner ! The staff all give the French cool vibes and I think that added to the experience .

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a while. I visited Coquette while on a work trip last week. I went for dinner Tuesday night and lunch Wednesday. The service is excellent, the food is excellent and the decor is beautiful. Definitely get the chocolate mousse!

This restaurant you want to save for your next brunch date. This authentic French restaurant has a unique menu, friendly staff, beautiful ambiance and colorful decor. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon trying various items from their Brunch menu. Cocktails: Guimauve - marshmallow simple syrup, aromatic bitters, toasted, marshmallow The Versailles - lemon juice, cranberry, rosemary simple syrup, Citadelle gin, Presecco Le Mans - Honey & fig jam, lemon juice, Goddard, crème de peaches, sage simple syrup, Wheatley vodka Brunch favorites: Saumon Fumé - House cured salmon whipped from age, caper, Fresno Omelette à Ratatouille - Poached eggs, garden lettuces, pain de levain, hollandiaise Crème Bruleée French Toast - Apple butter, roasted apples, maple syrup, meringue Duck Fat Fried Chicken Sandwich - Brioche Bun, Urfa chili, cucumber, cilantro, pommes frites, salad simple My favorite for taste and presentation was the Crêpe Suzette it melted in my mouth on every bite. I highly recommend this restaurant in my top brunch restaurant in Charlotte!

Coquette in Charlotte, NC, is an enchanting and adorable French spot in Uptown Charlotte. It's so beautiful and quaint. Owner Jill Marcus is nailing it. Her inspiration from her time in Brittany is evident in every detail. Jill explains, "This is not a place just for French food connoisseurs. It is a place for Charlotteans who don't think French cuisine is for them, but are intrigued by it and are willing to give it a try." Creating your own cheese plate is a delightful touch, and the Comte cheese is a must-try. The positive experience extends to the attentive service--kudos to Olivia and the manager for making my visit special. Loved it! Cheers to Coquette!

Absolutely phenomenal! Had a business lunch here and I along with every single one of my colleagues loved it. The atmosphere and the decor was so beautiful. I ordered the Le Mans cocktail to start which was fantastic. The table ordered the Tarte Aux Champignons, Tarte a l'Oignon Caramélisé, Saumon Fumé, and the Crème Brulée Frecnh toast. The flavor in each dish was amazing. My favorite was the Tarte Aux Champignons or, mushroom tart. For my entree I ordered the steak sandwich. It wasn't what I hoped for. The menu does say roast beef in the descripton. It's not steak prepared like I would hope it would have been. The flavor was great but personally too spicy for me. It was well prepared but not exactly what would order again. Dessert!!! We ordered the Apple Tarte Tatin, Crème Brulée, and the Chocolate Bouchon. Again. Perfect! My favorite as the apple tarte. I could not get enough. I could have eaten a whole one by myself. The staff was awesome, offered great service, and kept the table manicured and our glasses full. I definitely recommend this restaurant!!!

Great restaurant in downtown Charlotte! It was a bit tricky to find because it's located in the lobby of an office building and I went in the back entrance of the building and it was in the front. I got a French 75 and Salade du Jardin which is a garden salad. But this was no typical garden salad with boring veggies and bland dressing. This was more elevated with a delicious vinaigrette and fresh greens and veggies. Everything tasted so fresh and vibrant which makes a huge difference in salad.

Came here with friends on a weeknight! Recommend making a reservation in advance since it gets pretty crowded. We ate family style, and my favorite dishes were the potato beignets and the chocolate bouchon dessert. Also the wine we ordered was expensive but delicious (Hautes Côte De Nuits, "les Renardes" Burgundy, 2021). Atmosphere and service was 10/10. The restaurant makes you feel like you're at an elegant French restaurant. Prices are on the upper end. Overall great spot for dinner!

Coquette is STUNNING. I was blown away by the decor. Every inch of the restaurant is beautiful. You feel as if you have walked into France. The patio is large as well. The food was fabulous. Our service was a bit slow but our waitress was really helpful with recommendations. We tried a variety of appetizers/small plates. Everything was really good. The chicken dish is huge, enough to share with someone. Parking is free on the street. Not sure if they validate in the deck nearby. I ubered and it was easy to get to. Overall I can't wait to go back!

I had a wonderful experience dining here. The food: Scrumptious! The mushrooms (side dish) were thick and meaty. The fried chicken was juicy. The scallops were flavorful and large. Ambiance: It's a beautiful restaurant that makes you feel like you're in a small French town. I like that you can see into the kitchen. Service: Our server Alejandro was outstanding. He recommends dishes we loved and also ordered the crème brûlée for dessert on him. He was attentive and sweet. The bartender sent us tequila shots too! The chef and manager stopped by our table. I felt like a valued guest.

Truly impressed! Got to enjoy the menu as part of Coquette's media night which included a sample of all the best from the current menu. Such a beautiful space - I love the lighting, bar and kitchen. Asp the chairs in the dining room are tres chic! Exceptional flavors and ambience. Cocktails are divine, definitely treat yourself to a Kir Royale. Service was always great. Can't wait to go back to ensure consistency!

They're finally open! I've been awaiting this new spot for awhile. I love that it's a French cafe and they offer not only beverages but tasty pastries too. It's located across from Well Fargo in a space that was previously occupied by Bank of America. The decor is beautiful and tastefully done. Floral prints from the wallpaper to the chairs and lovely French music in the background. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside. And lots of bar seating too. Of course there were some opening day snags, there were issues with the cash register with just about every customer, adding to the wait. That's to be expected at a new place so no big deal. I will say I don't think the placement of the register is great - it's pretty close to the door and doesn't leave lots of space for customers to stand in line. I'll try the coffee another day. Today I only grabbed a pistachio rose eclair. I didn't appreciate feeling rushed at the register when the cashier happily took what felt like 10 minutes with the customers in front of me. The only negative in this visit.

I was with a party of 7. The menu quickly spoke to me as tapas style which the waitress also explained. We were seated outside, amazing weather for this time of year. Although, I quickly realized there is very little lighting, so it was hard to read the menu. We started with a tray of oysters, steak tartare, and bread service. A few comments: the oysters were okay, good but just okay. Steak tartare, was waaayyy too salty. I assumed the bread service would suffice for the number of people in our party, but it did not. *The bread also does not come with the dinner reservation, it's a $5 charge We ordered smoked bone marrow, foie gras French toast, coq au vin blanc, "coquette" duck fat fried chicken, & pomme frites. The bone marrow and chicken dishes were table favorites. The marrow tunnel wasn't as deep as I expected but great nonetheless. You will not be full alone off that dish. The Coq au Vin Blanc, amazing. The flavors were bursting in my mouth, very juicy. The French toast, I was very skeptical about pairing sweet potato with duck liver. It was surprisingly very good, I would get it again. The pomme frites were fried to perfection. The desserts: apple tarte tatin, chocolate bouchon, & cherry clafoutis. The apple dish ended up being the table favorite. I personally don't normally go for chocolate dishes but I will say the bouchon was pretty great. The Cherry dish was decent. I probably wouldn't get it again. The apple dish stole the show. Sidecar: Two people in my party heavily raved about the Chevalier Sunlight cocktail Overall, my group agrees the service was just alright, no major highlights. It was a bit slow, but we understand the restaurant recently opened. The restaurant has a bar, open seating and window viewing case to purchase pastries, and amazing interior design. We'd all come again for another dining experience. Please check out @CharmingPalate on Instagram for a better visual *Sarah was our waitress for the evening

My recent visit to Coquette was nothing short of a French culinary adventure. After seeing tons of cute Instagram reels, I finally decided to experience this gem located in the gold building uptown. The restaurant itself is beautiful and elegant. The parking situation is paid street parking or it was $5 to park at the old Duke Energy Building's parking deck on 550 S. Tryon St. I went with four friends and we were lucky to have O'Neil as our server who proved to be an expert throughout our Coquette food journey. His enthusiasm and knowledge were exceptional, which made our experience so much better! We started with a yummy charcuterie board and an couple of small plates. Each dish was delicious, but the Potato Beignets stole the show, exploding with bursts of delightful flavors. Moving on to the mains, we ordered the 20 oz Cote de Boeuf and the Coquille St-Jacques Scallops. The Scallops emerged as the champion, cooked to perfection and irresistibly succulent. For dessert, we ordered the Chocolate Bouchon and a classic Creme Brulee. The Chocolate Bouchon was a symphony of chocolate flavors and the Creme Brulee presented simplicity at its finest without overwhelming sweetness. Overall, I highly recommend Coquette! The ambiance, the service, and most importantly, the food, made this visit an unforgettable experience. Looking forward to coming back to try their other menu items!

Inviting, lively French restaurant with both classic and modern menu items and lovely ambiance and decor. I had lunch here and enjoyed the Salade de Roquefort avec Crevettes with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and finished with a delectable Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Biscuit from the front counter on my way out. Next time in Charlotte will try brunch or dinner here.

I cannot wait to go back to Coquette! Had the best time at Sunday brunch.....amazing service, food and bubbly. All set with lovely French music, accents, and all the feels of all things French from decor to table settings and of course the food. I love how quaint it is and how much thought had gone into making it not your average brunch spot. The menu is obviously very French, and the drinks menu had some nice wines and cocktails. The bar area is really nice and classy with bar seating as well. We had in my opinion the prime table by the bar which was for 10 but we were just 6. Great spot to see the restaurant and all its goings on. They also have a great patio for warmer days which will make for more people watching! They are closed on mondays! During the week and Saturday they are open in the morning as a bakery/coffee shop then for lunch and dinner. Sundays is brunch only. The glasses on the table and dinner ware were so different and tres chic! We had a couple bottles of bubbly for our table which was really good and our server kept us topped up in those lovely coupe glasses. We ordered a bunch of different plates and shared. The truffle fries, perfectly crunchy with great truffle flavor. The quiche was nice and fluffy, with a thin crust, light and came with a nice greens salad. The mussels were my favorite. Amazing curry like sauce with big meaty mussels and served with some nice thick sliced bread. The mushroom tart was also so good, also with a truffle vinaigrette, nice and buttery crust , and a raclette fondue, The house cured salmon comes with whipped fromage, on a thick toast, with capers and dressed with dill and red peppers. This was nice and fresh, and another winning plate. Everything we ate was so good and full of flavor. So glad we ordered multiple things. Then as we were for a birthday, we got a free dessert! The birthday girl loves creme brûlée! Which was super rich and creamy and beautifully presented with fresh berries. Perfect tap for that brulee crunch! We also loved the sound of the apple tartin with ice cream and the flourless chocolate cake . Wow these are sone delicious desserts. Very rich and with great textures and smoothness . I loved them all and glad we got to try them all. Needless to say we were full. Coquette was a refreshing delight. I wish for one of these where I live in Winston salem. When can I come back!! Love love love!

This is not a review of the actual restaurant but the wine class that they hosted awhile back.. This is on Wednesday or Thursday at 6:30pm for a champagne wine tasting class. In order to make reservations, you have to buy tickets in advance which is $55. So with that in mind. I'm assuming they have a clear numbers of people attending. Because it was sold out that morning, when I look at the post again. We arrived at 6:20pm. It was packed in a rotunda next to the restaurant. They have poured the 1st round of champagne but have not started the class yet. However. 2 ladies came in right at 6:30pm. And there's only on chair available to sit. Leaving one lady not having a seat. She asked the host and two teachers on site to see if they can accommodate them. Put two chairs somewhere so they can sit together. Now I even asked a couple of ladies at my table to move a little over to make room for the two ladies. However, what bothers me is how the host and the instructors did not try to accommodate them.. The ladies told them they will be seeking a refund at one point. rightfully soo, but the host nor any other staffs seem to care. Now I can understand if these ladies came in on the 3rd round of tasting. But it's still haven't started. This really make me unhappy about the customer services because at the end of the day. These ladies brought these tics in advance. Staffs should've known the amount of guests attending. And they didn't try very hard to put two chairs together so the ladies can enjoy this evening with the rest of us. I later saw the ladies sitting at the bar for dinner. They may not have a problem. But because of what I witnessed. I doubt I'll be attending another wine class or eat at the restaurant.

What a fantastic spot. The ambiance, the food and the service were amazing! This is my new favorite french restaurant in Charlotte!

This place is very chic with beautiful decor. You definitely get upscale dining vibes from eating here, but it wasn't overpriced at lunch. I definitely would love to try it at dinner. I cannot remember what I ordered for the life of me, but remember it being somewhat bland (which is probably why it didn't leave an impression). My friend ordered a sandwich, which she loved.

Had a reservation for brunch right when they opened. It wasn't too busy at first but that quickly changed. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful with a dinning area, bar, and coffee area. You can just walk in and order from the coffee shop they even have selection of pastries. Service was good overall as the restaurant got busier and we got towards the end of our meal it got a lot slower. We ordered the Croque Madame and the Creme Brûlée French Toast. The portions for both were big and we had leftovers. The French toast was delicious thankfully not overwhelmly sweet which I appreciated and very tender. The creme brûlée made it creamy. The Croque Madame was decent probably would try other items on the menu though. Overall it was a good experience! We would come back and try the coffee shop and dinner as well. There is no valet parking, just something to keep in mind.

Food - amazing! I've never had French food before. The salmon was incredible. The shaved vegetables- amazing. The cheese and meat - I died! But even better than the food was the service. ADA friendly. Bariatric and support animal friendly. (I had my paperwork) They took us without a reservation and gave us the perfect table to accommodate Charlie.

This place is SO cute! I love the French vibes and decor all throughout the space. Even the bathroom is decorated fun. The menu is pretty big and has a big variety of options. Some highlights we tried were the steak tartare, Brussels sprout salad and the chicken. So delicious! We were too full for dessert but I MUST come back to try some of their pastries. Great new addition to uptown!

The pastries were amazing. However, the hostess was really rude. She said we could only get food from the bakery till 4pm but someone else said we could just buy it and take it to go. Wasn't sure why the hostess said otherwise and was also really rude about it. I understand it's a very fine place but all customers are equal!!!!

Wow, amazing experience lastnight at Coquette The food was amazing, it's almost weird (lol) that every item we ordered was on point and super delis :) Weird bc usually restaurants have a few specialty items that they're known for, then the rest will just be fillers....but not at Coquette...each dish was presented so beautifully and tasted heavenly! We had (most of them have French names, but I shall not torture y'all with my perfect 4-year HS French on here): 1) the bone marrow: Wow, so yummy and burst of flavors. Most of the bone marrows from other places are pretty bland, almost like melted fat and no flavor to it. But these bone marrows at Coquette was so flavorful, my friend Hau (owner of Banh Mi Brothers) said it tastes like Pho Bone Marrow, full of flavor! I had to hold him down as he was about to lick the bone clean . 2) the cute bite size h'orderves were cute and tasty! I liked the potato one and the mini croissant. 3) the clams were 'chef kiss' delicious! Packed with flavors! 4) the fish was really good and presented and carved nicely ...felt so fancy having the Manager Patrick carving that fish for us 5) omg almost forgot the oysters, wow , the freshest oysters I've had....slurp right down ur throat and you could still taste a bit of the ocean, in a good/delis way;) Next time I'll order 2 dozen just for me and myself. 6) I know it's cliche, but I enjoyed the crème brûlée most...so rich and flannery (lol is that a word) . *Service: exceptional service from Sarah and Patrick! These people belong in the business...we were sitting past their closing time but they never showed any sign of agitation, when we declined dessert bc we didn't want to burden the kitchen with our late order, they insisted it was ok...as long as it's not the main kitchen Chef Cristian was manifique (is this French or Spanish )...perhaps this will be our Michelin Star restaurant of our Queen City! P.S I overheard Chef Cristian talking to a customer that they'll change up their menu in a few weeks...they have seasonal menu...something about their aging duck is almost ready;) Highly recommended a fun, delis, fancy outting with friends and lovers! P.S.S My friends and I came as Emily, Mindy and Gabriel in Emily in Paris

Some very good (and one not so good) food and presentation. Could have been a 5 rating but I felt the Caesar salad was below par- presentation on plate included small heads/portions of Romaine lettuce, including the tough bottom (and- shocking for a fine dining place- some parts of the outer leaves were brown). The better rated food is steak tartare, French toast with delicious foie gras, and coquilles st Jacques. The foie gras dish was excellent- will go back to have this again. The scallops were large and presented nicely. A nice addition to Charlotte's dining choices.

The blonde hostess is always so rude and she never smiles. She is never polite and never tried to accommodate. She is such an unpleasant first impression of the place. Food is good, ambiance is nice.

Absolutely LOVED everything that we had. I would get it all again. The Coquille St-Jaques (Scallops) were amazing - you must try if you like seafood. The Coquette Duck Fat Fried Chicken is the best fried chicken I've ever had. La Belle Helene is getting a run for it's money with this new gorgeous French spot.

I've been here twice so far, once during lunch when you could only get stuff from the bakery, raw bar or charcuterie and once for dinner. During lunch we had the charcuterie and pastries and it was wonderful. I can't remember the exact name of our two meat and cheese selections but they were great. Good price and top quality. Now's let's talk dinner. First off, the ambiance and decor is top notch. I'm thinking of redesigning my bedroom and asking for a Coquette inspired theme. The service overall was great with a few minor hiccups but with it still being fairly new, they did quite well. For appetizers we had the escargot and steak tartare that was good we could have licked the plate! Main course we had the Cote de Boeuf; basically steak and fries with bernaise sauce for an extra charge, asparagus and the tastiest fries ever and this is large enough to share. The steak quality was outstanding, perfectly cooked, and seasoned so well. Let me just say ahead of time that everything was seasoned well. Everything! Our other main meal we created by ordering the bone marrow and sides of haricot vert and some of the best mushrooms I've ever had. The portions for a fine dining place were great. You don't leave here and then end up in the drive through an hour later because you are still hungry. We had plenty leftover and enjoyed them the next day and the steak, fries and veggies were still scrumptious. Our server was Elias and he was very personable and fun. Patrick was front of house and worked the room making sure he stepped in to make the experience a great one. Where minor things could have been missed he had a keen eye and made sure we were taken care of. We even got a complimentary dessert because they were out of the creme brûlée and tarte tartine and though not expected it was a nice touch. I dream about my meal here and can't wait to go back for lunch since now that's an option. I will literally cry if this place ever starts cutting corners and operates at anything less than top notch. This is my new favorite place to dine and you may just find me in here at least 3-4 times a month if I have it my way. Don't forget to make a reservation and enjoy yourselves! That is all!

We had Saturday brunch. Didn't have reservation, nevertheless we were seated quickly. Our waitress, Francesca was very efficient, professional and friendly. Served us fast and with a charming smile. The food was excellent. I can recommend the saumon fumee Benedict, the crepe Suzette and the perfect cappuccino. All this in an authentic Parisienne ambiance. We'll be back!

Ooo la la! Coquette is a wonderful addition to Uptown. As a self-proclaimed amateur Francophile, I was already getting excited when I saw the signage go up weeks ago. It is so beautifully appointed inside! Pics don't really do it justice. The atmosphere and menu are authentically French. We were even greeted with a cheery "Bon Jour!" from the hostess as we walked in. Great service. The manager even offered to move us to a "better" table, although there doesn't appear to be a bad seat in the place. Must trys: The duck fat fried chicken is as tasty as the name suggests. You get a whole half chicken which I promise is enough to share (though you may not want to!) It was impossibly crispy, so juicy, and flavorful from the Herbs de Provence--the rosemary, thyme, and oregano really come through. I think all chicken should be prepared this way going forward! Lol. TIP: Add a sprinkle of sea salt (readily available in marble ramekins on each table) to the top of the chicken for a perfect finishing touch. The French potato salad with haricot vert was pleasantly chunky and bright. The aioli was appreciably garlicky and mustardy. Brunch isn't brunch without a touch of sweetness IMO, so we opted for the creme brûlée French toast with apple butter, roasted apples, maple syrup, and meringue. Truly delightful. Perfectly sweet & indulgent; nice crust on the outside of the toast and tender inside. #chefskiss I really wanted to try the omelette à la Francaise with herb & garlic butter and fines herbes because of a similar dish I had at a small bistro in Paris. (It is still the simplest and best omelette I've had to date. So good, in fact, that I went back for it the very next day!) Anyway, I was too stuffed today so, le sigh, I guess I'll have to come here for brunch again soon to try it. *twist my arm* Go here. De rien!

If reviews were titled, this one would be "There's Been a Lot of Hype & I See What It's About." Coquette is simply AMAZING & I'm thrilled to have experienced this addition to Charlotte's culinary scene! First, they nailed the theme. Softly playing French music beckons you from the sidewalk patio while beautiful lights and decor guide you, and serve as a delightful backdrop, for, an enticing (and seasonal, we learned!) menu. The menu appears designed to meet the needs of a variety of palates, offering equally impressive salad, seafood, meat-based, & off the beaten path (hello escargot!) options. I enjoyed the brightest, most citrusy (& therefore enticing!) French 75 that I can recall having, before moving into a shared escargot & potato beignet appetizer (beignet is now my preferred potato format, lol) and the duck fat fried chicken entree. The entree name says it all--perfectly crisp, wonderfully decadent, expertly seasoned chicken (and lots of it!) balanced with a bright, herbaceous potato salad. As the pictures suggest, this meal will absolutely require a to-go box or someone to share with. I took the first option & used my remaining (and limited, lol) capacity to split an apple tart with my dining partner. The tart is a movement by itself--buttery & flaky with the right touch of sweetness from the tender apples--but that rosemary ice cream makes it a FORCE when they're together. The complimentary glass of champagne given to round our first visit out was an excellent touch. Already looking forward to my next visit...and apple tart!

Oui! We finally tried Coquette last night. What we ordered: Croissant au escargot Potato beignets Smoked bone marrow Scallops Frites Apple tart Multiple French 75s to drink The food was amazing! The service was (I believe) impacted by a large "semi-private" party by the bar. The drinks took a long time, multiple items we ordered we had to remind our server about, etc. I would give food 5 stars but service 3. I'd give them another chance though, perhaps brunch?

Found this restaurant on yelp was so glad that we decided to try it for my husband's birthday. We started out with oysters on the half shell. They were fantastic brought out in a very timely manner. Next we had bone marrow the best ever and I've had a lot of bone marrow in my time. it was very flavorful. It was served with bread that was a delight. I could not recommend this enough. Less but not least we had the halibut. It was light refreshing perfect complement to the meal. As far as our weight staff was concerned Candace and John Luke at the bar were phenomenal.toasted us with champagne for my husband's birthday and also to the night Off brought out a apple tart with ice cream delightfully written in chocolate said happy birthday. Definitely will come back to this place it is our new go to restaurant thank you for the wonderful experience.

Went there for brunch today with my daughter was very nice Food service and ambience

Excellent food for the price! Highly recommend having breakfast pastries for breakfast, lunch quiche and anything in the menu for dinner! The waitress and staff are great.

Coquette is an experience to be had. Located in city center Charlotte, it gives you the feeling as if you're actually in France. The Ambiance feels rustic and bright, the service and management are very accommodating, and the food doesn't upset at all. Some must haves in my opinion are the Smoked Bone Marrow, The Branzino, The duck fat Fried Chicken, and Pomme Frites. The Desserts are really good as well, especially the Apple Tartine and Chocolate Bouchon.

I went to Coquette to get a coffee and a pastry. The young lady taking orders was very nice I got a chocolate croissant and I got it warmed and in the process of it being warmed in their oven I was looking at the other pastries and while looking I saw two huge gnats flying around in the pastry window one big was on the glass and the other on the almond financier. I brought it up to the young ladies attention that there were bugs in there and she smiled and didn't seem to worried about it. At this point I was a bit upset I had already paid for my croissant but I was disgusted I let her know I wasn't eating the croissant and that I would be leaving. I don't know but I was just expecting a bit pre care especially if there are bugs on food you're readily selling. I probably won't be going back sad I spent money on something i didn't eat.

I just had an incredible French meal at Coquette in Charlotte. From the vibe to the service to the food, everything was top-notch during dinner service! We started with cocktails - a Negroni blanc and an Herve Rousseau 75 - which were both great. The Tuna Crudo was tender with a fantastic freshness to it. The Mushroom Tart had a flaky crust and meaty mushrooms. And the raclette fondue took it to the next level. The Poached Rose Shrimp were delicate with mouthwatering notes from the saffron aioli and Meyer lemon. The Oysters were classic and exactly what good oysters should be. The Smoked Bone Marrow may have been my favorite of the night: Rich, herb-packed, with a balanced sweetness from the shallots. The Steak Tartare was bursting with umami flavors and brightened with notes of dill and pickles. The Gougère au Truffe were also amazing. Creamy, salty, and decadent while the Croissant au Escargot were tender, flakey and buttery. The King Crab Legs were exceptional - a taste of seafood heaven. For entrees, the Côte de boeuf with béarnaise was a perfect rendition of steak frites. The Coquette Duck Fat Fried Chicken was crisp yet succulent with a peppery seasoning and added richness from the duck fat. The Coquille St-Jacques was well executed too. Perfectly cooked scallops with a touch of saltiness that was balanced out by the cold potato and green bean salad. And for dessert you really can't go wrong. We tried the Chocolate Bouchon, Cherry Clafoutis, Cafe Gourmand and Apple Tarte Tatin. They were all solid choices, but my favorite was the Apple Tarte Tatin. Buttery, flakey, and caramelized to perfection, topped with a creamy honey rosemary ice cream. All things considered, I was truly impressed by Coquette. Food to ambiance to service, it's safe to say this place has won me over and earned a spot on my list of favorites. Follow @andrewloves_ on social media for more

My girlfriends and I dined here for a little holiday gathering. I usually don't dine at these types of restaurants, but Everything we had was super delicious and very tasty! I would definitely recommend this place and will be back with my husband. Chef Christian and his team did an amazing job! Thank you'

Perfect spot for brunch with friends, with French themed ambience including suttle music. We sat on the patio outside seating which was eloquently put together and created the perfect French atmosphere. We tried the French toast and Croque Madam sandwich, both of which were delectable. The French Toast had cooked apples with it giving the dish a slight taste of fall to round out the sweetness of the syrup that complimented the perfectly cooked toast. The toast was soft to slice through with a fork like cutting butter and absorbed the syrup to make each bite more mouth watering then the last. The Croque Madam was topped with a perfectly cooked egg that allowed the yolk to compliment and create robustness in the underlying sandwich. The Mornay cheese created a creamy sandwich that really up tiered a traditional ham and eggs sandwich. The real standout star for the dish were the french fries that were just a touch crisp on the outside but soft within, topped with a great seasoning that made them a item we couldn't get enough of. The service was great with a good balance of speed and allowing us to enjoy our meals / take our time. The wait staff was overall very nice and knowledgeable with the only constructive feedback being drink refreshment (especially coffee), could have been better. Would rate a 9/10 overall, with more prompt coffee refills potentially pushing it higher, will be returning for another go here.

Not trustworthy. Even though I left a fair tip (16%) they overcharged my credit card, increasing the tip amount to 22%, without my authorization (yes that is credit card fraud).

coquette From the exquisite glassware to the whitewashed stone surrounding the open kitchen and the faded blue tiles supporting the bar, Coquette is a vision for the eyes and the soul. Yes, I do feel like I'm in Paris--is it the music? The stripes on the waiters and waitresses? The copper pans and espresso machine next to the pastry case? The kit royale and gorgeous salad, presented in perfect white pinched plates, furthered the feeling. When the check came in an antique leather book, I could only say Merci!

What a charming restaurant! The decor and appearance inside is gorgeous. It's feminine, clean, and romantic. I came here with a friend for a girls brunch but will definitely be bringing my husband next time for dinner. Our server, Madison, was a delight. She was attentive without being overbearing, efficient, and had great attention to detail. The food was great- we split the caramel brûlée French toast and the duck fat fried chicken sandwich. The sandwich was the superior of the two items. The chicken was super crunchy and flavorful and the pickled toppings added a bright freshness and acidity to the dish. I had the Monaco for a cocktail and it was lovely as well. Will definitely come back!

Would I go back, yes, do I wish they did a few things differently, yes. Their menus are really beautiful sounding and I would love to try more items. We went for breakfast which although they have a brunch menu I believe it is only served on weekends. Couldn't find on their website when exactly it is served but we went on a Tuesday and only pastries were available but wow do they have a beautiful selection! We got the Savory Paris Croissant, Ferraro Rocher Croissant, Canele, Tarte Bretonne, a cafe au lait and a French hot Chocolate. They were all very good but could have benefitted from being warmed slightly, especially the Savory Croissant. A croissant laden with butter, cheese and ham doesn't improve when cold. Also, all of our items were served in togo cups and pastry boxes but there were other people there that got plates and saucers. It made eating our delicious items awkward. No one asked when we purchased our things if it was to go or not. Maybe we were supposed to say something? We don't live here and so maybe we just don't know the drill but there are many hotels in the area so it isn't like this is a place that primarily caters to locals. About half way through the owner (I believe) brought us a carafe of water and glasses. The glasses btw were adorable as is the whole restaurant. It is really a gorgeous place and and it would be wonderful to sit outside on their large patio, sip a beverage, listen to the lovely French music and enjoy the weather.

What an awesome little addition to Uptown! From the moment you walk in you feel like you have been transported across the pond. The restaurant is bright and welcoming with calm French music that is relaxing. I've been here a couple times to grab some drinks after work and the staff are all excellent at what the do. The cocktails are delicious and creative, you can try one of their creations or go for something more classic. They excel at both. I came in for lunch with some coworkers and they had one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a long time. Cooked in duck fat it is perfectly crisp and tender, and it is adorned with a great sauce and chili flakes that give it some spice. To top it off their French fries were perfectly crispy the way I like them and came with a garlic aioli far which in my opinion is far superior as a fry dipping sauce than ketchup. I still need to come here for dinner and brunch but everything about this restaurant has impressed me so far. From the food, to the presentation, to the vibes.

So convenient to my work and enjoyed lunch here with a friend. Food was excellent and staff was friendly! I was able to walk here so can't comment on parking but there is a parking deck nearby.

If you want to step into a little slice of utopia, this is it! :-) I've never seen such thoughtfully designed pastries which are truly delicious as well. I seriously can't wait to come back for a dinner date soon!

My party of 3 dined at Coquette for brunch today. The food and service were exceptional. We had the quiche of the day, the steak sandwich, the crispy chicken sandwich, a charcuterie board and crème brûlée. All our plates were very good and were generously portioned. The service was exceptional.
