Dining Review of Coquette Brasserie in Raleigh, North Carolina

On our recent trip to the Raleigh Durham area we were looking for a good place to get lunch on a Sunday. We eventually settled on brunch instead at Coquette Brasserie in North Raleigh. Generally we like Brasseries, and this one continues that trend. In fact it is one of the best we have visited.

Located in a large shopping plaza, the restaurant is large and airy, with high ceilings and a classic French vibe. The bar is spacious and apparently well stocked. Tables are well spaced throughout the restaurant, and you don’t get the feeling you’re crowded or too close to anyone, even though the atmosphere is very brasserie like with a constant background noise. It’s all good though, and we really liked the entire experience.

The brunch menu has a little of everything, and we ordered the Steak au Poivre Eggs Benedict, French Toast and Spinach Quiche. I really wanted something with Champagne in it, but it was Sunday morning in North Carolina, and that isn’t possible until noontime. We had to settle for a good cup of coffee.

All the brunch entrees were excellent, and were enjoyed by everyone.  The steak was perfectly cooked, as were the eggs on the Benedict.  Taking a quick look at the dinner menu revealed many great choices.  Almost everything looked like something I would try and enjoy. We’re planning on conducting the dinner experiment next time we’re in town. Our wallet is out for Coquette, and yours should be too if you like a traditional French brasserie.
