Coupette

Cocktail Bar $$$

Coupette pours French accented cocktails at 423 Bethnal Green Road, five minutes from Bethnal Green tube. The bar reached No. 23 on The World's 50 Best Bars in 2019, held Top 50 Bars Worldwide spots in 2018 and 2019, and its Champagne Pina Colada now ranks among the world's most copied modern serves.

Expect calvados, fine cider, and Champagne where other bars reach for bourbon and prosecco. Skip it if you want a dive. The room runs soft lit and date paced.

Walk in or contact the bar via official channels. For weekend seating, confirm hours through the bar's site or social pages.

Soft lighting, a bar top set with thousands of vintage French coins, and playful artwork give the room its identity. Foodism's review praised how the space lands French elegance without stiffness, and DesignMyNight rates it among Bethnal Green's essential rooms.

The signatures carry the list. Order the Pina Colada on the first round; it is the serve the room was built on.

Skip nothing on the signatures. The kitchen plates run small; eat before if you plan a long sitting.

Dates and small groups dominate, with East London industry drinkers at the bar early. The Week's review framed it as a table for two room, and weekend tables go to OpenTable bookings ahead of walk ins.
