Coucou

Coucou is a West Hollywood restaurant for diners looking for a modern French bistro with Coastal California influence. The price point is about $75 per person, and the dress code is smart casual. It is a fit for a polished but relaxed meal when the table wants recognizable bistro plates.

The dishes to know include steak frites, the cheeseburger, mussels marinière with lentils, hamachi ceviche with coconut milk, fried olives, and soft serve ice cream with hard-shell chocolate. For a first visit, the safest approach is to build around one of the bistro staples, add a smaller dish for the table, and keep room for dessert if the soft serve sounds appealing.

French bistro comfort, filtered through West Hollywood

The kitchen’s identity is rooted in modern French bistro cooking with a Coastal California influence. Chef-owner Jacob Wetherington is a Bouchon alumnus, which gives useful context for the restaurant’s French-bistro lane without overstating details that are not confirmed.

Because the details are focused on cuisine, price, dress code, Sunday hours, and signature dishes, plan around those known points rather than assuming a specific seating style, beverage program, or special menu format. Coucou’s confirmed Sunday service runs from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM for lunch and 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM for dinner.

Plan it around the dishes you most want to try

A practical first order can stay classic with steak frites, mussels marinière with lentils, or the cheeseburger. Diners who want the Coastal California side represented can add the hamachi ceviche with coconut milk, while fried olives work as a small start and the soft serve ice cream with hard-shell chocolate is the dessert to know.
