About Couqley French Bistro & Bar

Welcoming and informal French bistro that serves you with warm personalities, soulfulness, and careful attention while preparing delicious meals and pouring reasonably priced wine.

A group of friends decided to open a French Bistro after coming together over their shared love of wine and dining at delicious, soulful establishments. The founding team made their idea a reality by combining their skills, friendship, and passion. Ziad, Patrick, and Chef Alexis welcomed Couqley into the world in 2009 in Beirut!

Steak-Frites in a Signature Sauce are among some of our most popular dishes.

Beautiful French restaurant.. amazing food & ambience. We had the squid calamari and lobster toast as starters. We ordered this during the happy hour including a bottle of wine which was discounted.nsteak & mash for mains. Highly recommend their steak. Our waiter Nile was very professional and kind. He recommended us on which steak we should go for which was on point!! Must try :)

Ordered: steak fritesnDeliciousnComes with a salad, fries and the meatnThe meat is a bit hard (although it was medium rare) — I didn’t like how hard it was but it was deliciousnThe fries and the salad were deliciousnThe meat sauce was a bit overloaded 😅 had to keep removingnTheir prices are a bit high — among the least expensive dishes was the steak fritesnIt is a cozy spot thoughnThe staff are very alert and they are constantly looking aroundnThe brown bread was deliciousnI loved their butter presentation and how easy it was to grab it and place it on the breadnBread was warm; right temperature; beautiful. I wouldn’t mind going again for more bread and butternI liked that they give a steak knifennOverall; it’s a good place.nI will recommend it, but not on a daily basisnCertainly there are other places with better beef at a similar or reduced price.nnFor me it was 100-150 because only the dish; but again, if I ordered a drink probably would’ve been 150-200 (or if I ordered a more expensive dish)

I went for the mussels day during dinner and I was impressed! Mussels were quite big and the Roquefort sauce was delicious. They offer bread and French fries in the deal plus 2 glasses of wine.nDennis our waiter was super! Caring and proactive, always checking on us. The crowd was fun, great for friends gathering. I only wish there was an outdoor seating.

This place is great! The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. This resto has a great set of people most especially Andy, Axle and Kaye! They are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. Amazing wines and we loved our mains, Duck Confit and Steak frites which were amazing with lots of flavour as well as their starters and desserts. Overall its a very impressive restaurant! u2764ufe0f
