Our take

Le Coucou brings chef Daniel Rose’s French cooking to a dining room designed by Roman and Williams. Classical techniques and seasonal ingredients shape the menu, with the setting making dinner feel like an occasion of its own.

Allow time for a full meal and choose between the restaurant’s lunch and dinner formats. It suits an evening planned around the table, followed by a slower walk through the surrounding downtown streets.
