Housed in a cozy corner of Bethnal Green, Coupette opened in 2017 as a cheeky nod to French drinking cultureâmarrying Parisian elegance with East Londonâs experimental spirit. The dĂ©cor evokes a steampunkâbistro, with exposed brick walls, vintage furnishings, playful artwork, and a bar-top encrusted with old French coins. The barâs DNA is deeply Frenchâled by founder Chris Moore (a Savoy alumnus)âand built around celebrating liqueurs like Suze, Lillet, and especially Calvados. Itâs not a cocktail bar in the traditional senseâitâs a Calvados bar with inventive long-drink takes, like its famed signature: monthly fresh apple juice blended with Calvados and gently carbonated. Coupette has garnered global recognition: achieving placement in The Worldâs 50 Best Bars (No.âŻ23 in 2019), winning âBest New Openingâ in 2018, and praised for its avant-garde cocktails that celebrate French tradition with playful innovation. The menu, often rotating with the seasons, features standout cocktails like the Champagne Piña Coladaâa bubbly, elegant twist reimagined from the tropical classicâand blends nostalgic flavors with a London edge. Coupette serves French-style small plates & tapasâsuch as croque monsieur, gougĂšres, charcuterie, and creative small bitesâperfect for sharing and elevating the cocktail experience. Atmosphere-wise, Coupette feels both intimate and inventive. Itâs a neighborhood hideaway that resonates with locals, chefs, and hospitality insidersâcozy, playful, and surprisingly elegant.
