Looking for a venue to host a private dinner in Bethnal Green? Why not give Coupette a go? This unique restaurant and cocktail bar offers menus of high quality food and an unpretentious backdrop to get your nearest and dearest together. Opened back in 2017, you can expect French-inspired dishes, alongside a rather extensive cocktail menu, that is bound to keep your guests in good spirits.
Offering a low-lit space, Coupette takes bookings for up to 20 people, and whilst there’s no dedicated private space, this is perfect for those who want to be part of the action, dining amongst the natural buzz of the bar space. Take a seat amongst the leather bar stools, boasting a neutral colour palette of exposed brick walls and wooden tabletops; a complete contrast to the vibrant drinks you can expect to find.
The extensive cocktail offers a varied selection of creative drinks, each playing with flavours and textures in a way that is sure to set your private dinner apart. Why not try the Boulevardier which combines peanut butter whisky with a rose berry vermouth blend, strawberry and banana jam, and Campari. Elsewhere, you can find the Milk Punch which features vodka, chai syrup, espresso, Guinness, Amontillado sherry and cream. Coupette prides itself on the storytelling that comes with each drink: the mixologists have focused on the procedures that all go on behind the scenes, ensuring that complexity of these drinks shine through without the need for showy, over-the-top garnishes.
On the drinks front, you can expect a number of small plates and sharing platters. Guests can expect the likes of cheese and charcuterie plates, featuring brie, goats cheese, pork and pistachio, and chorizo all served with sourdough cornichons and chutney or mustard. Small sandwiches and sides are also available, including a croque monsieur with braised ham and gruyere, or tapas-style dishes of blue cheese fries, squid rings with lemon aioli or padron peppers smothered in salt.
