Super beautiful atmosphere of Mediterranean fusion in Boston
đ´ Coquette: Bostonâs Stylish Spot with Hits, Misses, and Very Salty Surprises This sleek, atmospheric restaurant looks the part for a fancy night outâbut the food? Itâs a mixed bag. Some dishes shine, others leave you reaching for water (and questioning the salt shakerâs sanity). Hereâs the unfiltered breakdown: đ The Winners (Order These) Duck Chichons â ⢠The standout: Shredded duck, rich and spreadable like a savory pâtĂŠ, piled on crusty bread. ⢠Layered flavorsâumami from the duck, a hint of sweetness, and crunch from the bread. Easily the best dish of the night. Atlantic Crab Fondue â ⢠Creamy, cheesy crab dip with tender crab meatâindulgent and briny. ⢠Served with crispy, fried focaccia strips (perfect for sopping up every drop). Skip eating it alone, thoughâitâs salty on its own. Mushroom Bianca Pizza â ⢠Thin, crackly crust topped with juicy oyster mushrooms and melty cheese. ⢠Simple, but the mushrooms âpopâ with flavorâcheesy, earthy, and just greasy enough. â The Letdowns (Save Your Money) Truffle Chicken ⢠No truffleânot a hint of truffle oil, salt, or shavings. Just⌠(braised) chicken in a basic sauce. ⢠Shockingly salty (we found salt granules) with uneven seasoningâone bite was bland, the next was bitter. ⢠$47 for half a chicken? Not worth it. Spicy Salami Pizza ⢠So salty, we chugged water between bites. The ultra-thin crust canât balance the overload of salty salami. Lamb Meatballs ⢠Tender texture, but strong lamb gamey flavor (contrary to hype). Not for the faint of heart. Focaccia & Fries ⢠Focaccia: Greasy, not worth the extra $$$. ăťFries: Coated in (coarse salt) with a weird, artificial-tasting dip. Stick to ketchup (ask for itâthey donât serve it by default). đ The Verdict: 2.5/5 (Style Over Substance) Coquette looks great for photos, but the food is hit-or-missâwith way too much salt. Stick to the duck chichons, crab fondue, and mushroom pizza if you go, but donât expect consistency. #BostonDining #MediterraneanFood #HitOrMiss #BostonEats
