Chicago’s Best French Brasseries and Bistros | Eater Chicago

"Coquette, the bright pink bistro attached to Bambola, serves modern spins on French fare focused on live fire ovens and dry-aged meats with options ranging from lamb merguez-stuffed dates, to beef wellington to baked scallops with beet hollandaise. Pair the meal with a glass of champagne or natural wine or an Armagnac old fashioned. Book a table through Resy." - Sam Nelson

Coquette - Review - West Loop - Chicago - The Infatuation

"This French spot in the West Loop comes from the same team as Beatnik and Bambola. Coquette’s interior is like sitting in a giant kaleidoscope. Bright pink tiles and tall stained glass panels surround the space, and chandeliers that look like grapes decorate the ceiling. Soft French music plays, which could (in theory) be relaxing—but this bar still feels like sensory overload. While the space is overwhelming, the food is the opposite. The short menu is filled with small bites and mains—none of which are very good. And the dishes are often imbalanced, like the oeufs et oursins which has too much potato foam and shredded truffle, overpowering the duck scrambled eggs and uni. When flavor isn't an issue, there are other hitches, like rubbery steak, or foie gras in stale potato cones. At least the wine is good. So if you somehow end up here, sip on a glass or two while the bartender spins some French vinyl." - John Ringor

Chicago’s Media Predicts Restaurant Industry Headlines for 2023 - Eater Chicago

"It’s a selfish headline: I will attempt to make Bonhomme’s new French spot, Coquette, my own personal Cheers. After dining at Bambola next door my friends and I wandered over to Coquette and learned about its after-dinner 'Parisian house party' ethos — guests mingling and drinking *behind* the bar, as if in someone’s kitchen." - Ashok Selvam

The Owners of Porto Are Going Big This Year With a New Hotel, Two Restaurants, and a Club - Eater Chicago

"Coquette will be, like its name, French. Alonso describes it as 'Parisian chic meets provincial splendor.' Erwin Mallet, the chef de cuisine at Michelin-starred Porto, will run the kitchen, serving an array of classic French dishes cooked over wood and charcoal. In terms of style, it will be Bambola’s opposite: pink and white and petite, with seating for 46." - aimee.levitt

We came here for a birthday party last night and I cannot say enough good things! Service was amazing, we felt like royalty. All the servers and bartenders went out of their way to make the birthday girl feel special. The atmosphere is cute and perfect for a girls dinner! Food was also great, would absolutely recommend!

Great food, much of it sharable, and the service is welcoming, knowledgeable and very professional. The vibe here is funky and kind of loud as it gets going. The menu seems to be seasoned and changes frequently. The wine list is excellent and they are very accommodating with special requests. Oh, and not to be weird, but the bathroom is really nice. The whole experience was a really good first time.

Amazing food, fantastic drinks, immaculate vibes and the staff is top notch. We plan on returning several more times. Patrick is such a knowledgeable, caring and attentive server/bartender. I can’t recommend Coquette enough!

Celebrated my birthday week here and it was an amazing experience. The server was so kind and detailed and very considerate as well :) I went with my friends and feel it's the perfect spot for it, highly recommend it. Our server Adriel was excellent I felt welcomed and very friendly and helpful!

Super cute, small space with a vibrant atmosphere. The decor definitely lives up to the restaurant group’s other venues. Overall recommend for a $$$ date night. Cocktails were very tasty & on par with their neighbor. staff was very friendly & I got a special drink for my birthday, but we did have to wait a while 5-10 minutes for our server to come around. Also, it took a full hour from us sitting down to get our first appetizers. And when I asked for recommendations, the server pointed to the most expensive options. As many other reviews note the portions are quite small, especially the appetizers. We ordered the beef Wellington & while would have been plenty to share we were not provided with that guidance. I think the whole fish portion would also have been enough to share. We enjoyed all the dishes & did not leave hungry. We noted many of the reviews from last week mentioned an upset stomach & so avoided the seafood dishes. We had no problems. After dinner were invited behind the bar for a tasting of their homemade Brandy - that was particularly unique & fun.

This places makes you feel like you stepped into a time machine & out into 70’s in Paris. Unique concepts of caviar “bumps”, going behind the bar for tastings, cotton candy clouds in your drink, mini foie cones, makes this a fun place to experience “firsts”. Love the amuse that accompanies some of the cocktails. If you get Aaron as your bartender, it’s your lucky day. His cocktails are on point, and he is so knowledgeable & attentive. He will also make sure you do a caviar bump if you’ve never done one before. The personal level of service of going behind the bar for tastings is unheard of, new, fresh & exciting. Took my cousin & their friends there to celebrate her 21st.

Lovely dinner with friend here. Interior design is eye catching and artistic. French food was delicious and luxurious. Cocktails were solid as well!

My best friend and I came to this restaurant to celebrate her birthday eve. We were greeted by a very kind waiter who took the time to explain the menu. She received multiple cocktails on the house for her birthday and we ended the night of a tour of the spirits/wines that they serve. We ended up ordering two of the sweet cocktails (unfortunately don't remember the names, but I bet any of them will be spectacular!), steak tartare, Parisian gnocchi and the overnight smoked vegetables. All AMAZING.The only thing we didn't love is the bread they served with the steak tartare, it was just hard. Now, the prices are a bit steep, but for experience they give you, I say it's definitely worth it for a special occasion or a date night. 10's across the board-- will be back to try the happy hour.

Coquette, nestled cozily between Bombala and Expat in the West Loop, was the perfect place to meet with an old foodie friend and catch up. After not being able to find the entrance, I walked into Bombola and a very friendly sous chef ushered me into Coquette through the back. I love walking into a space and it's everything I hoped it would be. And with French restaurants, I expect even more. Coquette, with its stylish decor, warm lighting and chill vibe, was giving the promise of a great time. After my chica and I ordered cocktails---she, the Not Royal but Regal and I, the Bonjour Cassandra-- we immediately launched into an epic 2024 Sex and the City dialogue that caught the attention of the nosy male half of the couple next to us. After politely brushing him off, he continued to ear hustle on our convo, interjecting his unsolicited opinions on our current state of dating. Fuck off homeboy, is what we really wanted to say when his date rolled her eyes and looked disgusted, but we gave our very best and fakest laughs, rudely turned away and obviously lowered our voices. Now, on to the vittles. French food is very simple, yet utterly delicious with rich sauces, vivacious herbs and lotsa butter! We decided to share plates and ordered the lamb merguez stuffed dates, butternut squash ravioles, cauliflower au gratin and the wood-fired salmon. Yes, indeed to everything! Each dish was wonderful, but the standout for me was the salmon...perfect preparation and deliciously seasoned. Our server was friendly, informative and attentive, yet allowed us to engage in the much-needed girl talk we REALLY came for. I wouldn't recommend Coquette for big groups or even a place to bring rowdy kids for dinner, but rather for dates and gal-pals who need to relax and unwind in a sophisticated setting. Can't wait to come back!

Fell short of expectations. We came for their happy hour but once seated it was not mentioned and we were just given regular menus. I had to ask outright if they were still doing happy hour and he said yes for drinks but didn't say anything about food. Their drink menu is very limited - only 3 whites/roses listed by the glass and they were out of 2 of them ?? Our waiter couldn't have been nicer but he was stretched so thin, I'm not 100% sure but he may have been the only waiter for all the tables on a Saturday night? So yea, service was slow. Interior was cute but not as cute as the pictures make it look online. French music playing, lively ambiance, trendy crowd - not the kind of place I would take family or kids. My favorite part of our meal was the butternut squash & goat cheese galette - just perfection. We also split the duck confit but it was just ok - kind of a small dish for the price. Chocolate tarte dessert was very good. Overall, it was a fine meal but there's too many other great restaurants (and happy hours) in West Loop to venture back.

Easiest 5 stars of my life, and honestly, I'd give them 6 if I could! Coquette really goes the extra mile, and they deserve to be recognized for that. Upon entry, you will be struck by the retro-barbie-core decor. It's funky, but modern- a perfect date spot or girls night spot. The happy hour specials are not to be missed. 12 oysters for $12! Unbeatable. My friend and I ordered 2 dozen and they were accompanied by the most delicious dipping sauce (possibly a shallot vinaigrette?). The dining experience was elevated by a complimentary bread service. Freshly baked rolls and a shallot butter. DELICIOUS! For our meal, we tried: Bavette (10 day aged steak) (tender and cooked to our liking with delicious accompanying shallot sauce), Sea Bass (paired with roasted veggies- so good), and Pomme Purée (which our server, Brendan described as 60% butter, 40% potatoes- and o.m.g. so worth it). To end the meal, we had a chocolate tarte. Lots of layers of varying chocolates, and topped with gold leaf! To drink, Brendan suggested Chenin Blanc because they were out of sauv blac, and I can say that I am now a Chenin Blanc girly. He also offered us an after dinner bev made from apple brandy and bubbles- loved it!! Next time, I want to try: Artichoke Carpaccio, Parisian Gnocchi, Steak Tartare, the Saint Jacques (scallops), and Entremet Cake for dessert. Overall, I LOVED this place. The decor and Instagram influencers brought me in, but the excellent staff and delicious food will make me a forever fan!

I made the mistake of coming here after having a heavy and late lunch, so I feel bad that I didn't get to try any of the wonderful sounding appetizers that were on the menu. The color palette inside of the restaurant is uplifting and interesting. I got some fun photos while there. I had the "Bitter? Yes. But So Am I" cocktail and loved it. There were many cocktails from the menu I wanted to try. I ordered the Magret De Canard (aged duck breast) and liked it. The duck was tender and had a nice flavor. I would love to try popular food options like the steak tartare, french onion soup, and Beef Wellington next time.

Made reservations for restaurant week dinner. The restaurant is on the smaller side and consists of one large room and a small bar. The $59 restaurant week deal consists of 4 courses. 1st course - cauliflower soup, which was very good and had a great cauliflower/broccoli flavor 2nd course - steak tartare - really good! Creamy and had a nice consistency, went well with the chips 3rd course - boeuf bourguignon - delicious and hearty. Nice mix of meat and vegetables. The beef definitely stood out because it was extremely tender and flavorful. 4th course - dessert tart - reminded me of key lime pie because of the tart and consistency. Very good. Overall, the food and service were great. My friends ordered some of the other restaurant week options and they all looked delicious. Yes, it was a bit of a wait for the table because of restaurant week, so not going to take off stars because that comes with the territory.

The food was amazing... made to order with great options for food and drinks. Our waiter was amazing and very knowledgeable about the menu and how to assist with drink options. Nice setting for small groups or a date. For a French restaurant to have a chef from France is also a bonus. Male, female and gender neutral bathrooms. Parking is the only issue but it's Chicago what did you expect. Music was great to set the mood and vibe of theGo on a Thursday night and enjoy the time.

I enjoyed a night out with friends at Coquette on a Friday. The interior was beautiful and fun, very unique too. The staff were kind and brought out surprises as it was my friends birthday dinner! We ordered cocktails and I got the espresso martini. It was good but nothing special. The happy hour was a great deal and we also all ordered the burger on the menu. The burger was very salty but it did have a good overall taste. We also shared the Gnocchi and this was delicious! I loved the taste of it and how light it was.

Came here with my bestie for our monthly catch up + happy hour. Let me cut right to the chase and let you know that I had a BLAST! 10/10 on the service from both of our bartenders. They were amazing and very friendly. They recommended their fav drinks and they were so tasty and definitely hit the spot. No complaints on the liquor pour at all. The video i attached shows just how beautiful the ambiance is and it's so relaxing. Perfect for a HH after work! Burger was AMAZING and full of flavors that I can't even explain! The bartender explained to us that the chef himself was not allowed to have burgers growing up so he created his own personal version and might I say for some one who didn't eat them all their life he sure did create a masterpiece. The meat was cooked to perfection, their was a smoked taste and the sauces blended oh so well. I wasn't expecting to be given caviar with our champagne but it was such a special touch!

A french spot worthy to showcase in Chicago! Coquette is a whimsical, fun, a funky fresh retro space. With the Barbie opening, this restaurant could serve as the perfect backdrop for a lunch, dinner or drink spot. While it has looks, it came through with taste! There were a couple of HH drink and food specials. I didn't know that their French 75 came with a "bump" with caviar. Bitter, Yes, so am I was also was a well balanced cocktail. The HH burger with chips - amazing. The server told me it was the best burger, I took it with a pinch of salt. I will say, he was right. The burger, so juicy, with a bit of a funk from the cheese was the perfect kind of grease and can give any "best burger" in Chicago a run for that competition. We sat at the bar and Brendan, you can't miss with the barspoon tattoo, was super chill, professional and knowledgeable. He told us a bit of the items on the menu and new and exciting spirits in the bar that will be coming up soon. After all the amazing food/drink and experience, we ask for a rec on dessert, and went with the Apple Tart. It took about 20 minutes, we started wondering if they forgot... and boy, was it worth the wait!! The crust was flaky, buttery with a perfectly baked apple rosette and a side of beautiful ice cream made with fresh herbs - lavender/thyme/rosemary. This is an adult and fancy apple pie and the execution of this bake, it would receive the Paul Hollywood handshake.

Celebrated a birthday here! The group was welcomed with a glass of champagne. The room has a pink Parisian vibe, very beautifully done. It happened to be happy hour as well, which goes to 7 pm. We tried the burger and it was good but a bit too salty for the four of us. Wouldn't order again but we had other dishes including the gnocchi and that was divine! Would like to return for the beef Wellington. After our meal we were invited behind the bar for a tasting of a speciality liquor. It was fun ending to the night and felt very personable. Great for celebrating, especially a girls night! Ps. Check out the bathroom, adorable!

I thought I reviewed this and I'm so sorry don't see my review. This place was absolutely wonderful. The ambiance of the whole restaurant and experience of beautiful and tasty food dishes were so great. The service was outstanding! Some friends of mine came here for a friend's bday dinner and we had some great laughs, good photo ops, great food and great drinks. I highly recommend for a good date night or a little group dinner. We also had a little wine tasting with our server Brendan (sorry if I misspelled that). He was absolutely great! The kitchen is open for customers to admirer and enjoy the passion behind the Chefs (literally when you walk into the restaurant you can see the open flames and the chefs doing what they love best, providing great food!).

Came to Coquette for restaurant week. We were immediately greeted by the host, who first sat us at the sister restaurant's bar, as they were still waiting for a table to open up. (Bambola, the attached sister restaurant, was very nice.) Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to try their drinks before we were seated back in Coquette. It's interestingly decorated and reminds me of a circus tent, but it's done well. The waiter, who went by M, was very friendly and explained each dish. We couldn't have asked for a better server as you could tell he really enjoyed his job. The cauliflower soup was flavorful and well balanced. The chicken liver moose was delicious and unique. The steak tartare was creamy, vibrant, and had nice acidity. The beef bourguignon was tender and tasty, but slightly salty. The shrimp dish did seem to lack substance, but overall was still good. Both desserts were great; one was a lemon tart with blueberry sauce on the side and the other was a crème brûlée. The crème brûlée was excellent as the flavors were pronounced and it wasn't too sweet.

A great spot for a girls night! They are open late and has great service! The place is so cute. The cocktails are a bit pricey but they have a kick and are high % alcohol and also come with some little snacks. I enjoyed the apple of my eye. We did not have the food here and it seemed like some weird combinations. Not quite straight French food.

This place has lovely decor and a very fun bathroom. Whoever decorated clearly has fun with the theme. Love that they champion pet nats and had a great wine list. Would have loved a more knowledgeable server who was enthusiastic about playing the sommelier. Our server kind of seemed like they hated their life and wanted to be elsewhere. They definitely were not bringing joy to the table or laying on the charm. Food was good. A few dishes were a tad on the salty side for my liking but things had a nice smoky flavor. Really enjoyed the flavor of the shrimp salad which was bright and citrusy and herby with basil.

A fantastic option for girls night or dates! A bit off the beat of west loop but worth the trip. Ambiance - 5/5 - love, love love the decor! It's what brought me in to be honest. Mod pink and you gotta love the squiggly couches. Excellent music and not too crowded on a Friday night, but if it were, I'm sure it'd still be intimate. Service - 5/5 - our server was so nice and helpful and attentive. Yes it was slow - but that's the French way! And honestly we were never left hungry. They checked on us often enough, but not overbearing. Food - 4.5/5 - looking back it was a solid value. Under $150 pp for 3 courses and cocktails. The beouf Wellington was well worth it!! Perfectly cooked. Everything was just interesting enough to keep us all happy, safe and just a little bold. Gateau opera was amazing and that tarragon ice cream was delightful! Best parts may have been the coquette 75 (strong but easily drinkable and comes with a caviar canapé!) and the little surprises along the way! That cauliflower soup was decadent and delicious and the behind the bar tour was a real treat!!

Our server was awesome, I'd had her previously and seeing her again was a pleasant surprise. My visit was on a Wednesday and a little early so it wasn't too busy. The decor is bright and retro, very fun. We had happy hour cocktails, bummer the oysters were sold out. The scallops were amazing and a absolutely would recommend! The octopus was fine, definitely not enough for an entree size portion. Would return and would recommend!

Fantastic food with a sneaky-good happy hour. The staff here is incredible and the burger is top notch. Per dollar this is better than Au Cheval. The folks behind the bar also know how to craft exceptional cocktails and are delightful to talk to. The oysters were solid as well! The decor is flawless and is absolutely fun to hang out in.

Love love love this place! It's such a gem. The interior is just perfection, an amazing place for a girls night. Every single corner of this place is perfect. The service was next level. Our waiter knew his stuff about every single dish and drink. Checked on us a bunch and brought us a ton of complimentary items. To start we were greeted with champagne, and a little complimentary cup of cauliflower soup. This soup was sooooo good, I needed a bowl. Next we had bread service with an olive butter which was lovely. We split a few things. We did the foie gras cone (comes with 2) this was very rich but full of so many different flavors. 10/10 would get again. We also did the pomme puree. I will dream about this potatoes, so creamy and buttery. For the main we did the bavette. This was cooked to perfection. For drinks I had the for what it's worth I'm bubbly. It's an amazing apple juice with bubbly. Sooo tasty. They also took us behind the bar and gave us a sample of this! They really went above and beyond. For dessert we had the gateau opera, which was perfect. Again so many different flavors. They brought us complimentary caramels to end the night which was perfect. The staff made this experience amazing. They also mentioned next month they are changing their menu so we can't wait to come back!

This restaurant is absolutely adorable. The interior design is immaculate (the pink vibes are so fun), the staff is lovely, and is a great place for a first date or date night out. I personally didn't love the food, but i don't think there's anything wrong with it so to speak, I just don't think i'm a french food person. Would definitely come back for cocktails and the dessert though!

The food, drinks and service were absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the ravioli, squash tart, steak, duck, mashed potatoes and galette. Only minor nit would be the ambiance - would turn down the music a bit and introduce a little more variety, along with dimming the lights a bit more.

Outstanding service, amazing food & drinks, beautiful restaurant. Hands down best service in Chicago right now. Perfect place for a girls night with cool, chic and charming French decor. The espresso martini is buttery without being rich or sweet -- just perfect. The bread is amazing and the house-made butter rivals any other, filled with herbs de Provence and lavender, hitting all the best notes without a floral taste. The "Poulet Rotis" (flatbread pizza) is also excellent. It's light yet decadent and filling with a thin crust, a light cheese, roasted butternut squash and mushrooms. The "Ravioles Du Royans Au Comté" ravioli with butternut squash and mushrooms was incredible - Don't miss it!

Can I just say this one is for the girls! SUPER cute small bar/food place. The waitress and staff were all nice and professional. The happy hour burger was chef's kiss the drinks were also decent. The pricing was more than reasonable for the West loop area. Parking may be a little difficult to find. The bathrooms were clean and sooo cute too! Recommended to meet up with some girls and have a drink!

My girlfriends and I wanted to dine here solely because we were intrigued by the trendy interior design and I'm sure we weren't the only ones booking a reservation for that reason. Nothing is worse than a beautiful restaurant serving subpar food, so we were deeply hoping that the food here would be amazing. Most of the portions were small except for the beef Wellington (more on that later). We started off with cocktails which were good, light, refreshing. Then we had a variety of appetizers that sounded delicious, but didn't blow us away. The highlights for me were actually the bread & butter and beef wellington. The beef wellington came as a generous portion and was extremely tender and flavorful. Overall, I won't be running back for most of these dishes, but still think it's a great spot for girls night or date night. Would happily come back for the bread & butter or beef wellington!

What a beautiful room, intimate and fun. I started with the foie gras cone. Delicious! That first bite is a big hit of foie gras but the potato cone is a star, too. Next, Sole Meunière - can't get Atlantic Dover Sole in New Zealand so this was quite the treat. Bread and poireaux for the table because I'm a fool for leeks. Dessert was outstanding. Take your server's advice and share the Opera Cake. My eyes were too big for my tummy. On top of a good meal, they brought us behind the bar to sample an apple aperitif they concocted. They made a dinner reuniting me with friends post-COVID travel restrictions so unbelievably special. I'll come again when I return next to USA and Chicago.

Went here with some friends last week. Absolutely love the ambiance of this place and the overall vibe. Everything was plated beautifully as well. The food was good, but it wasn't incredibly exciting or inventive, though the menu was (we found) confusing and hard to decipher. The portions are incredibly small, which we were told of in advance, but we didn't find it clear as to how much we should each actually order. Each was so small that each was a few bites at best, despite being fairly expensive. Left and had an entire meal at home afterwards. Our server was incredibly friendly and kind, but I do think the actual service here could be better. Similarly to other reviews I've read, it's slow. It took a pretty long time to receive our food and after we finished eating, a long time to clear our plates. This was surprising given that we were one of two tables dining at the time, and we didn't order much food. We wanted to order dessert, but after two hours, we were ready to wrap up our meal and didn't want to wait any longer for another course. Maybe I'll return again in a few months to give them another shot, but I wasn't blown away by the experience.

Host seats us, I ask for a different table we passed but he says "I don't want to overwhelm the server there" it's Valentine's Day, your reso book was full, I checked (unless it's artificially made to look that way?). About 10 minutes later the same table had someone seated and the next hour the place was full. So it seems you just didn't care to accommodate someone who was there earlier. Now let's get on to the awful food: they bring bread service with some French onion butter. There's enough butter on the little dish to handle 3 bites. Beef tartare is full of micro greens and something else that just ruins any flavor, too herbal to be enjoyable. Worst part of the night, we were so excited for the beef Wellington. Ive never come across a larger dining disappointment in my entire life. Who puts wasabi inside the pastry of a beef Wellington when you've already gone exotic with sardines in your mushroom duxelle? I mean why? I tried to tell myself it would work despite the already deflating reviews. Turns out they were right, this is the worst $100 dish in the entire city. Knowing I could've had so many different dry aged steaks, king crab legs, caviar or Uni topped fish or even some of the finest truffle topped pastas for the same price I paid for this baked piece of shit, infuriates me. One shining light was our beloved server, who I told needs to go work somewhere else that matches her skills. This place is worthy of influencers coming in for a drink and photo shoot. Nothing more.

Great for drinks and service was wonderful. Cute small space with really great decor. I thought the food was just okay, it was underseasoned and overly priced. Great spot for a cocktail though

Great time for a friends Bach party dinner. There was 13 of us, so we booked a large table for a reservation through the coordinator/manager. They had a welcome pour of bubbly waiting for us, and the server was attentive, friendly, and did a great job communicating and accommodating for dietary restrictions. They then invited us behind the bar for a taste of a (complimentary) drink for everyone in the group. These little extras that went above and beyond were so appreciated by me (the planner) and the bride. Thanks Coquette!

I went to this restaurant for Valentine's Day with my husband because I loved the interior of the place. I was not expecting the food to be soo delicious. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Chef Edwin is such a loveable character. He really puts alot of love into his food. This would be a great restaurant for a romantic date. I highly recommend this place. Five stars!!!

Stopped in on a whim and I'm so glad that I did. Delightful and playful: the ambiance, service and food were all incredible. So many little surprises and complimentary items, the service felt like fine dining without the stuffiness. The food is contemporary French, very decadent and I'd gladly eat everything I ordered again. Cocktails were strong and also came with surprise accompaniments. Overall a 10/10.

I can't say enough about this gem. The restaurant is designed well, the ambience is great. The cocktails are tasty, the appetizers are fantastic. The sourdough rolls and onion butter are amazing. All four of us enjoyed our main dishes, and the dessert was unreal. The waiter was great, his service was attentive. Food runners were great and entertaining. The after dinner drink behind the bar is a classy touch. I'll tell everyone I know about this wonderful addition to Randolph.

Really cute vibes inside - felt like we would've seen Megan Draper from Mad Men walk by at any moment. Food was delicious. Had the duck and it was absolutely delightful. The plating is very beautiful as well. Definitely want to come back to try the beef Wellington - it looked incredible!

I liked everything about this place. They opened last October. It is a French restaurant. The food, wine, staff, play list( the pink colors and hospitality. Brendan was our waiter who was awesome. Their is a bar which you can eat at or have some cocktails or both. Definitely will go back.

We went for a belated birthday celebration on a whim (as we spontaneously heard about it via TikTok) and decided to give it a try. My party and I were more than pleased with our experience. Not only were the food and cocktails amazing, our server was an absolute delight. We had so much fun learning about the French cuisine, trying new foods/cocktails, and chatting it up with our server nearing the end of our meal. Lastly, the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in Chicago and is fantastic for "instagrammable" pictures. Overall, it was a memorable experience and we highly recommend Coquette, especially for special occasions! They will certainly do well in this city, guarantee!

The food was outstanding - we had the Magret de Canard and the Chicken Blanquette. Took half the blanquette home and it was even better the next day, if that's even possible. Best French food I've had in a long time. The wine (a Côtes du Rhône) was also excellent. The complimentary amuse-bouche and mignardise were SO good. Nothing to fault - even the butter was amazing, dusted with leek powder. Our service staff were terrific - helpful, nice, friendly. The music was too loud for our taste, but we're older generation.... Wonderful addition to Chicago restaurant scene.

The service was phenomenal but the food was somehow even better. Chef Erwin and his team know exactly how to make your night and they deliver consistently every time. If you are reading these reviews to determine whether or not you should go, I would say that you'd be making a big mistake if you didn't. Worth the trip every time.

Business dinner on a Wednesday night. Very nice ambience, bright and airy. Good music track, nice decor. We were 4 people, ordered a variety of food to share. The Dover Sole was very good and the Wellington was the star! It's a must have, absolutely cooked to perfection and delicious! The "behind the bar" visit was interesting and the "adult" apple juice was tasty. Alex, the GM was a great help as I made a mistake on our reservation. He was super helpful and very responsive. Overall my customers really enjoyed the experience!

Really delicious and such a beautiful space. Come here for French bistro or to it's neighbor bambola for silk road international. Fabulous drinks at both and the desserts may be the highlight.

The appetizers and mains we had are dollhouse size. We spent $200 for 2, left hungry, and had to eat when we got home. And the food was average, at best. The beef everyone raves about is $100; the whole fish $95. On the positive side, the decor is way cool and it's quiet.
