Coq d’Argent restaurant brings a blast of glamour and style to the City of London. From its penthouse position on top of the striking post-modern No 1 Poultry building, this smart contemporary restaurant offers classic French regional cooking to a mixture of City types and others. The roof terrace of the Coq d’Argent, with famous manicured lawn and sheltering parasols and chic contemporary lighting, offers stunning views across the Square Mile and a breath of openness and fresh air in the middle of town. But Coq d’Argent is celebrated for much more than its green, open space. Award-winning chef Mickael Weiss employs fine, fresh, seasonal ingredients to create dishes that are both classic and modern, like seared scallop on cauliflower purée with coral sauce, pickled cauliflower and pancetta salad. Coq d’Argent’s wine list is a heavy-hitters’ dream, a vast tome with more nearly 50 available by the glass, and 2011 saw them win the Imbibe and Louis Roederer Wine List of the Year award.
