Old-school in spirit, modern in execution. Coupette channels the ease of a European bistro – classic details, a touch of play, all reframed through a Melbourne lens. The menu is confident but unpretentious: steak frites, oysters, tartare, schnitzel, pasta, a great burger. The wine list sets the tone – fun, flexible and personality-driven, from glass to carafe, cheap to cherished. It’s timeless hospitality: generous, stylish, a little cheeky.
