For Jill Marcus, the founder behind Mother Earth Group, the concept originated during her junior year abroad in Brittany, France. She fell in love with French culture and cuisine there and wanted to bring that experience to Charlotte. Coquette specializes in her favorite French dishes, including oysters and duck fat fried chicken, which Marcus describes as a perfect blend of Paris meets Southern tradition. She designed the space to be inviting to Charlotteans who may not typically consider French cuisine for them, offering real food with plenty of butter rather than small portions or foam. Executive Chef Stefano Gallo crafts the seasonal menus, including summer dishes like chilled Salmon Rillettes, classic Tuna Niçoise with a modern twist, and tender Lamb Loin kissed with herbs and seasonal vegetables.

The restaurant maintains a positive standing among customers who have reviewed it.

Coquette brings the elegance of an old-world French buvette and the vibrant nature of a neighborhood eatery to the heart of Uptown Charlotte.

Coquette sits on South Tryon Street, just a short walk from the Bechtler Museum Of Modern Art and the Charlotte signpost.
