$600 Dinner at Michelin Star Le Coucou. Is it worth it?

Описание: On the last day of 2022. Me and a group of friends dined at Le Coucou, a Michelin one star restaurant in lower east Manhattan, NYC serving classic, old-school French fine dinning. This restaurant has an a la carte menu but also a tasting menu for the new year. We opted for a la carte menu so that we can try and share a variety of dishes.

Food
Gourmandises (appetizers with more butter and crea)
Quenelle de brochet, sauce américaine
Foie gras poche au Sauternes
Ris de veau à l'éstragon

Les Plats (entree)
Tout le lapin
Canette Sainte-Baume

Dessert
Mont Blanc
Tarte landaise aux pruneaux
Marjolaine

We also got a bottle of wine to pair the dinner.
Domaine Ostertag Vin d'Alsace, 2018 Fronholz, Pinot Noir

The final price including tax and tips turned out to be $660 for three people, and a solid $200+ per person. This is definitely a steep price for an a la carte menu. Is it worthy of the price and a Michelin star? Watch the whole video to find out.
