• Bistro • West Loop
Chicago’s cutest little French bistro & wine bar. Coquette is a pink Parisian dream offering modern French cuisine paired with exciting wines and cocktails.Led by Executive Chef Marcos Campos, Culinary Director Erwin Mallet and Executive Pastry Chef Shannah Primiano, Coquette expresses their vision for a modern bistro, where quintessential recipes and iconic dishes are matched with contemporary influences. Though our cuisine may be “nouvelle” our equipment is undeniably primitive, with all cooking done by live-fire ovens and mangal grills. We also feature a dry aging system that blends state-of-the-art technology with methods that go back thousands of years to unleash the flavor and tenderness of the beef, duck and fish prepared in our kitchen. Coquette’s wine list is a playful celebration of France’s most under-appreciated regions and boldest winemakers.

    My second experience here and it was as good as the first! We had a Seafood Vol au Vent and it was packed with crab and shrimp and the sauce was divine - curry and lemon added zing and zip! My friend's steak came with mushrooms and he added an order of fries. Excellent service, and top-quality food, thoughtfully conceived and well-prepared.

    Incredible. I will be thinking about this food for a long time. The skate wing was some of the best fish we’ve ever had. The rose shrimp was amazing.

    My friends and I had brunch at Abrah Bakery yesterday for the first time. We were seated right away and our server was lovely and patient. Our only disappointment was that they no longer carry the Baklava rolls (hint to management: w/a digital menu, it is much easier to remove items you've discontinued). We shared the cinnamon roll to start. It was moist but not very cinnamon-y. Two of us had the Nordic breakfast, one had the omelette, and our fourth friend had the mushroom toast. All of us enjoyed our main dishes very much. The place was hopping from the time we arrived to the time we left. I highly recommend making a reservation as it's obviously a popular spot! We would definitely return!
