Le Coucou

"A renowned French restaurant in Soho, known for its elegant dishes and now featuring a new executive chef, Chris Emery. The restaurant continues to be a culinary landmark under co-owner Daniel Rose, who balances his time between Paris and New York." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Stephen Starr’s Le Coucou with Daniel Rose at the helm offers an extremely French dressed-up menu of tartare, foie gras, savory quenelles, Dover sole, rabbit, and roast duck. The room is understated luxury, with seatings available for lunch and dinner." - Melissa McCart

"A French restaurant in New York City acclaimed for its classic French cooking and chic atmosphere." - Melissa McCart

"Stephen Starr and Daniel Rose’s sophisticated Soho French restaurant retains one star. It’s a la carte ordering though a $147 prix-fixe menu is also available." - Eater Staff

"Le Coucou is not an every-day spot. Unless you have a robust trust fund, it’s also not an every-month spot. It is, however, perfect for when you want to eat precise, luxurious French food under a chandelier in a chateau-like space in Soho. For your next milestone dinner, come with a date, and eat some tender chunks of lobster in a cognac cream and peppercorn sauce. The atmosphere is very upscale—tall candles, white tablecloths—but it’s not as buttoned-up as traditional fine dining, so you don’t have to get too dressed up. You may, however, see people in formalwear eating $61 rabbit." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, sonal shah, will hartman
