Coquette: Just What The Neighborhood Needed


Rick Nichols checks out Coquette Bistro & Raw Bar on Bainbridge in Queen Village and has a word for picky message board posters too.

Coquette may be just what the neighborhood was lacking, with its honest salads (at $7, the Lyonnaise a light meal in itself), juicy boudin blanc (at $9, a nice plate of juicy white sausage served over warm lentils and mustard-braised lettuce), beautifully seasoned (but non-French!) yellow-tomato gazpacho, and mostly-under-$20 entrees – a decent steak frites, flavorful roasted chicken and light monkfish.
