The Rooster & Son - The House of Poultry - Rated 4.7

Founded in 2012 by three-Michelin-starred chef Antoine Westermann, Le Coq Rico became Le Coq & fils in September 2021. The term *fils* refers to lineage and heritage, reminding us that Le Coq watches over its successors. To go further and affirm chef Antoine Westermann’s commitment to ethical, sustainable, and virtuous food, he chose to focus on exceptional poultry, raised with strict respect for animal welfare. At Le Coq & fils, you come to nibble, chat, and celebrate the fine poultry of France’s ancient breeds. 100% poultry and bistronomic cuisine for happy gourmets! Here, we talk about full traceability, heritage breeds, good genes, direct relationships with committed breeders and producers, animal welfare, and a militant chef. A unique experience, signed by chef Antoine Westermann, for poultry meat lovers: quail, pigeon, guinea fowl, duck, rooster, hen, goose, and chicken, all telling the flavors of our French terroirs. Le Coq & fils is known as the *Poultry Steakhouse* or *Poularde House*: a place where we love to take our customers under our wing. More than a rotisserie, it’s an ode to poultry that begins with a multitude of shared appetizers. Before being spit-roasted, the birds are slowly poached in broth using chef Antoine Westermann’s exclusive technique. They are served whole, to share between two, three, four or more, accompanied by garlic confit, juice, homemade potatoes, chicken broth purée, macaroni gratin and other seasonal suggestions. Vegetarian friends will be delighted by the wide selection of plant-based starters, as well as the famous Z’oeuf burger. As for the foodies, they’ll find their happiness with the famous floating vanilla island from Bourbon, caramelized brioche with seasonal fruit jams and pastry cream, and our pistachio, lemon and chocolate ganache pots. True chef’s desserts!
