Le Coucou | Soho’s Romantic (But Flawed) French Star 🍷✨
For a Michelin-starred birthday dinner, Le Coucou delivers white-tablecloth charm—but not perfection. Here’s the honest take on this Daniel Rose hotspot: 🍽️ Hit-or-Miss Menu 🦆 Canette aux Cerises (★★★★★) • Crispy duck + cherry-foie gras sauce = swoon-worthy. 🐟 Pike Quenelle (★★★★☆) • Cloud-like fish mousse + lobster sauce = silky heaven. 🍓 Strawberry Dessert (★★★★☆) • Olive oil cake + yogurt sorbet = science-backed delicious. Oops: Black Bass (★☆☆☆☆) • Bitter as regrets (removed fast with apologies). Hot Take: That "Michelin missed the bass" shrug? Fair. 🎂 Birthday Perks ✅ Free plate message + candle (no outside cake drama). ⚠️ Skip: Foie gras terrine = fridge-cold letdown. Pro Tip: Order extra bread—sauce-mopping required. 💰 Damage Report • $260 for 2 (with returned fish discount). • Service = polished but not warm*. Q: Team Duck or Team Quenelle? #NYCFrench #MichelinMeh #DateNight
