James Beard–winning SoHo French restaurant with soaring ceilings and old-world grandeur — Daniel Rose's classic cooking is a love letter to Paris
Daniel Rose and Stephen Starr opened Le Coucou on Lafayette Street in 2016 and it won the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant the following year. The room — soaring ceilings, velvet banquettes, arched windows — is among the most beautiful in New York. The cooking is classic French: le tout lapin (rabbit prepared multiple ways), whole roasted sole with brown butter, duck with seasonal preparations. Rose worked in Paris for years before returning to New York, and the cooking has the confidence of someone who learned the idiom at the source. Le Coucou is where you go when you want a formal French meal with genuine ambition behind it.
