Le Coucou

Stephen Starr's grand SoHo brasserie pairs Chef Daniel Rose's precise, old-world French cooking with a room that feels like dining inside a chandelier.

Soaring ceilings, velvet banquettes, and candlelight bouncing off brass fixtures set the stage before a single plate arrives. Rose's menu leans into quenelles, escargot, and a whole roasted chicken for two that's carved tableside with theatrical calm. It's the kind of place where the maître d' remembers your name by the second visit, and the wine list rewards a slow, unhurried evening.
