Uptown French restaurant is closed — but it will reopen soon in a new space

Salad Niçoise Tartines and Croque Monsieur sandwiches at Charlotte’s uptown French bistro are gone for now — but they’ll be back soon.

Coquette — owned Jill Marcus, the founder of Mother Earth Group — is making a quick move down the street.

The restaurant has closed town its location at 400 S. Tryon St., and has begun to move furniture and other equipment into its new space at 101 S. Tryon St., which formerly held Essex Bar & Grill.

“Welcome to the glamorous life of opening a restaurant,” the team posted via Instagram. “Check in for unexpected or last minute updates, ha …”

Plans call for reopening in the new space for lunch on Tuesday, March 3.

The restaurant offers an assortment of pastries and desserts, along with a variety of brunch, lunch and dinner selections. There’s a raw bar with oysters and seafood towers, along with charcuterie and cheeses, small plates and entrees such as Cassoulet de Canard and Coquette Duck Fat Fried Chicken.

Location: 101 S Tryon St, Ste 14, Charlotte, NC 28280
