I must say, Le Coq Rico took me by surprise, the simplicity yet classical French technique mastered by Chef Antoine Westermann was spot on.
I couldn't find any fault having lunch here! The wine list are impeccable! My Mersault Rouge wine was a good year and the highlight would be the platter of chicken giblets, the pigeon dish and macaroni! The spit roast chicken is perfect and moist. The dessert were equally outstanding too!
Beer ice cream is ingenious! (Altho I had experience before in Bali)
Ambience and decor is modern and clean, which is what I like! Let the food do the talking!

I highly recommend Le Coq Rico for lunch and dinner! Be sure to reserve!
Their menu are priced fairly. I would go back to Le Coq Rico whenever I crave a well cook bird!
I had my fairshare of exorbitantly price restaurant with even lower food quality and standard.
What I like about this restaurant, you can tell they are really French.
They disclosed all their organic sources of their poultry and eggs.
Super Amazing lunch here, definitely wanna go back to try other dishes!
