A Culinary Revolution: The New French–Inspired Menu
Coupette’s latest menu introduces a refined selection of nibbles, sharing plates, sandwiches and indulgent desserts crafted to pair effortlessly with our exclusive cocktails. Whether you are looking for the best cocktail bars in London, bars for date nights, or are a French cuisine enthusiast, a full meal, or a sweet treat to end the evening or just to have a couple of unique drinks post work Coupette is the place for you. Our menu offers a spectrum of elevated French flavours with a modern twist.
Nibbles and sharing plates: The Perfect Start
If you are someone who loves to share their food or snack with their cocktails our nibbles and sharing plates can be the perfect way to begin your dining experience:
Corn & Olives: Simple yet healthy and ideal for light snacking along with some refreshing cocktails.
Spiced nuts & Truffle Nuts: Some salted and spicy snacks are the best companions for any drink.
Charcuterie Plate: For a perfectly balanced diet, we have created an assortment of Smoked Duck Magret, Chorizo, and Coppa, served with Cornichons.
Cheese Plate: Featuring 18 months Compte, Crottin d’ Antan, Truffle Cheese with Crackers, Quince, and Cornichons.
Hors d’Oeuvre: Elegant Starters to Set the Mood
Our starters are designed to tempt your taste buds and prepare you for the perfect gourmet adventure that lies ahead. These small plates blend texture, flavour, and craftsmanship to improve the eating and drinking experience. They are inspired by classic French bistro food with a contemporary East London twist. If you are looking for a little snack along with your drink or a beginning to a larger meal our hors d’oeuvres can be your choice. Our hors d’oeuvres are:
Gougere: Paired with white wine or our signature White Lies cocktail, it is a French pastry puff that is filled with Gruyere souffle and Comte cheese garnishing.
Egg & Mayo: With a variation in traditionally devilled eggs this dish is topped with thick Comte cheese, crispy shallots, chives, and mayonnaise, best paired with a crisp 50/50 Gibson drink and is the ideal savoury treat.
French Fries: One cannot go wrong with French fries; our menu also offers an optional truffle upgrade that can be enjoyed alongside a bold Calvados Sazerac or a glass of Champagne.
Grilled King Prawns with Saffron Aioli: A rich Saffron Aioli combines with tender and smokey prawns to create the ideal harmony of taste and presentation. For the ultimate indulgence, pair it with a Champagne Piña Colada or a glass of Ruinart Blanc de Blanc.
Jambon & Burger: Signature Sandwiches & Burgers
If you are looking for a more filling meal, Coupette also has a variety of mouthwatering sandwiches and burgers that are inspired by French cooking methods and quality ingredients.
Croque Monsieur: This is a classic and sophisticated dish with a cheesy flavour. It is a toast with smoked ham, Gruyere cheese, and Mornay sauce served on buttery brioche.
French Dip: It’s a sandwich of slow-roasted chuck beef served on bread with a dipping sauce. Our Chocolate and Red wine drink or a Malbec along with this dish elevates its flavours.
Tuna Nicoise: It’s a fresh savoury sandwich of confit tuna, anchovy aioli, and arugula on brioche. This combination of salty and fresh aromas makes it an ideal combination with Crisp Sauvignon Blanc.
Veg Pan Bagnat: Our menu also offers options for veggie lovers with this roasted wild mushroom delight with confit butter beans, and arugula on sourdough. The complexity of tastes in this plant-based composition complements an aromatic Gewurztraminer.
Coupette Classic Beef Burger: This burger is made with soft brioche bread, and served with a properly seasoned smoked beef patty. Chive and Tarragon aioli add a creamy and herb-based texture and baby gem lettuce and gherkins make it crispy. It can be paired with truffle fries and a bold Bordeaux or Clavados-based cocktail.

Soft Serves: Guests can customise their soft serve with gourmet toppings such as kirsch-soaked cherries, Cognac-soaked raisins, Candied ginger, and honeycomb brittle.
