Food: Good food, sans innovation

Coucou's best dishes, as cited by patrons, are the Zucchini Beignets, Woodfired Prawn Cocktail, and the Hamachi Ceviche. However, a recurring critique targeting the food is its lack of creativity, with predictable French bistro selections. Also, though the food is good overall, it lacks that special 'wow' factor, rendering the culinary journey rather unexciting. The variety seems reasonable despite the small menu, but occasional misses still occur.

  • Okay Taste

    Food was overall good but lacking that special wow factor.

  • Not Creative

Vibe: Variable ambience, date-friendly

The restaurant's ambience is enjoyed by many diners, though experiences have been found to fluctuate. Ideal for romantic and private date nights, due to its intimate and inviting charm. Not forgetting, the drinks are impressively crafted and have turned many heads. There is a clear buzz in the atmosphere generated by the lively crowd and trendy charisma.

  • Great Buzz

    Lively crowd, trendy atmosphere, and palpable excitement create unique vibe.

  • Okay Drinks

    Cocktails and wine selection deemed good but somewhat overpriced for quality.

Perks: Disappointing service, claustrophobic

Although the drinks and date night vibe of Coucou are commendable, it unfortunately falls behind in the service and convenience department. The restaurant's noise level is likened to a concert hall, proving overwhelming for diners seeking quietude. Also, reservations prove to be a bit of a challenge and the outdoor seating, unsuitable for group dining. Worst off, the service across all sectors has been reported as shameful.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Complaints about reservation system glitches and limited bar space.
