A European style restaurant with warm and exquisite interiors - perfect for celebrating special occasions! I ordered Unagi spaghetti, which is one of the chef recommended dish. It was rich and favorful, but I find the unagi a bit too salty. Although the food was not the best, the ambience made up for it. Price wise, it is a little on the high side. Service was okay, but nothing exceptional.

The food was great, especially the chicken mushroom dip, it really surprised me! The staff were friendly and helpful, they recommended dishes and even offered to help us take photos. The environment was cozy and comfortable. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I’ll definitely go back again

I’m not entirely sure why this charming restaurant is named Le Coucou—French for “The Cuckoo”—but we were immediately drawn in by its exquisite décor and warm ambiance. The menu leans heavily toward Italian cuisine. While a few of the dish names were unfamiliar, our friendly waitress patiently explained everything, making the ordering process smooth and enjoyable. From our first visit, several dishes stood out. I especially loved the halibut, served atop a cheesy cutlet and topped with salmon roe—a wonderfully balanced dish with a zesty salsa that brought everything together. The Australian striploin steak, humorously named “Heavy Duty,” was cooked to a perfect medium-well and paired so harmoniously with foie gras that we couldn’t resist ordering a second portion. Another highlight was the “Vogue in Red” lobster risotto—fresh seafood, rich creaminess, and just the right depth of flavor. We ended that meal on a high note with foie gras bruschetta—rich, indulgent, and the perfect finale. Mama mia! Revisit on 31 May 2025 After such a memorable first experience, we returned to see if Le Coucou could live up to our expectations—and we’re happy to say, the quality remained superb. We had the striploin steak again, and it was just as wonderful as before. This time, we elevated our meal with the Wild Funghi truffle soup, which was aromatic and earthy, and a beautifully cooked salmon steak served with a house-made sauce and creamy mashed potatoes (personally prepared by the chef, we were told!). For dessert, we didn’t want to miss out—and we’re so glad we didn’t. The tiramisu and affogato were both outstanding—simple, classic, and executed perfectly. ⸻ Grazie mille, Le Coucou! We’ll definitely be back again. Exceptional food, consistent quality, and a dining experience that keeps us coming back for more.

Beautiful interiors! Delicious Food with very good sized portions. Total value for money. We were attended by Grace who was excellent with her recommendations. Definitely recommend. P.S. Among all the artwork on the walls, there is a smart little nod to Mr. Bean. IYKYK

I ordered these two delicious dishes recommended by the waiter. The lamb rack and the dumpling with salted egg shrimp. The food was very delicious and the presentation of the food was so great! The atmosphere and service are very good! Will come back again to this place!

I’ve had their brunch set before and really loved it — the bagels have a great texture and taste just right. This time I also tried their high tea set, which is perfect for a date with your bestie or your boyfriend. Everything was delicious! The highlight for me is definitely the ambiance and decor — super aesthetic and Instagram-worthy. Highly recommend for a relaxing and photogenic dining experience!

I recently celebrated a birthday at this restaurant, and it was definitely the perfect choice! The staff went above and beyond, even playing the 'HDL' birthday song The atmosphere, interior design, and overall ambiance were truly top-notch. While the food prices are on the higher end, the portions are incredibly generous—enough that one course can easily be shared between two people, in my opinion. As for the food itself, it was exceptionally well-seasoned, with a rich blend of spices that brought out amazing flavors in every dish. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that’s well worth the splurge, especially for special occasions. I will definitely recommend this restaurant!
