Le Coucou: NYC's Most Elegant Offal Destination ✨
📍 Le Coucou—a romantic, white-tablecloth French spot where organ meats shine (but maybe skip the seafood...). Here’s my honest take after multiple visits: 🐄 The Offal (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) Sweetbreads (Thyroid): Tender, bouncy, rich as foie gras. Veal Sweetbreads: Crispy outside, creamy inside—buttery sauce = heaven. Duck & Rabbit Liver: Silky, clean, zero funk—perfect for offal newbies! 🥩 Meat Mains (⭐️⭐️⭐️) Solid but safe—think classic French techniques with no surprises. 🦞 The Seafood (🚫) Shrimp: Mushy + fishy = nope. Uni: Actually rotten (spit it out 🤢). Lobster: Gritty from un-cleaned veins—yikes. 🍫 Desserts (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) Chocolate Cake: Deep, not-too-sweet, fudgy perfection. Mille-Feuille: Flaky layers + vanilla cream = wow. Savory Mille-Feuille (✨special✨): Filled with sweetbreads—unexpectedly addictive! 💡 Final Verdict ✔️ Go for: Offal, desserts, and old-school Parisian glam. ❌ Avoid: Anything from the sea.
