" Le Coucou is an absolute masterpiece! From the moment you enter, the ambiance wraps around you like a warm hug. My partner and I celebrated our anniversary here, and the combined experience of excellent service and outstanding food was unparalleled. We tried the duck breast and lobster, and both were crafted to perfection. The presentation felt like art on a plate! Highly recommend for any special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Le Coucou expecting a night of delight, and that's exactly what I got! The ambiance is simply stunning—with its romantic lighting and vintage decor. We ordered multiple dishes to share, including the quenelle, and it was heavenly! The staff were incredibly gracious. My only criticism would be that the portions felt small for the price point. However, the flavors made it worth it. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to indulge! " (*Curated Review*)

" Le Coucou has a magical ambiance that transports you straight to France! The food was a symphony of flavors, especially the classic French desserts that are beautifully presented. I tried the Marjolaine and it simply blew my mind! The service was attentive, though our water glasses weren't refilled enough. It’s a great place for anyone looking to enjoy fine dining. I must admit, I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was a lovely restaurant with lovely ambience. The seaweed bread was a nice touch, though unfortunately, I found the rest of the meal somewhat average. The duck was lackluster and felt overcooked. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere and service but I hope the food gets better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Le Coucou is the epitome of fine French dining, marrying ambiance and exceptional cuisine. Our experience was splendid—the staff was gracious, and the dishes were delectable. My favorite was the velvety foie gras! But do take note; the portion sizes are on the smaller side. Regardless, I can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an amazing dining experience last week! The atmosphere was intimate and romantic—a perfect setting for date night. My husband ordered the tuna, which was delightful, while I went for the rabbit served in three distinct preparations. It was a very unique and satisfying meal. The service was friendly but a bit slow during the peak hours. Nonetheless, I would come back for those beautiful flavors and lovely setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely a restaurant to remember! The food at Le Coucou was simply exquisite. My girlfriend and I were in awe of the flavors presented in each dish. We had the leeg pièce, and duck which were cooked to perfection. The setting is also stunningly beautiful—perfect for a romantic night out. This is going on my list of favorite spots!
