It feels like Le CouCou Vert has always been here, across the street from the old theatre, overlooking the lush boulevard. The restaurant serves the best of what French cuisine has to offer – a little piece of Paris on a plate. In addition to classic French bistros, Le CouCou Vert draws inspiration from the color scheme of the functionalist building that it’s located in. Together with the delicious hues of red wine, cream, olive, and herbs, they create a harmonious atmosphere that feels both warm and lively. A variety of vintage bistro chairs add a whimsical touch, while hand-made brass lighting sets the mood. Banquette benches boast classic Finnish fabrics, while the cutlery has been considered the sexiest in town. The open kitchen and long bar counter offer the setting for a perfect evening, all courtesy of chef Teemu Aura and his team.
