Miquette.

Tucked away in a quiet nook of the Coffs CBD, Miquette is a charming French bistro carefully crafted to transport patrons to a place of relaxation. From the fabulous 'terrasse', where customers can watch the world go by over a fabulous glass of wine, to the use of forest green, natural timbers and romantic lighting within its cozy yet chic interior, we could easily be in Paris' trendy Rue de Charonne. At the helm of Miquette is the husband and wife team of Edouard (Ed) and Jade. A native of France, Ed has worked in the hospitality industry managing venues since he was 18. Before moving to Australia, he met Jade, a Coffs Coast girl, at his uncle's famous Parisian bistro. They soon connected over a shared love for travel and passion for French cuisine that would eventually lead to the creation of Miquette. Freshly made baguette sandwiches like 'le Miquette' (Bangalow ham, compté cheese, salted butter, cornichons) or 'le beau gosse' (crumbed chicken, rocket, grilled eggplant, mozzarella, tomato and tartare sauce), are staples at Miquette. Classics such as pastries, scrambled eggs and crêpes also showcase a dedication to bringing the authentic taste of France to the Coffs Coast. "Our savoury crêpes have been hugely popular because they're unique to Miquette. We have the "crêpe complète" (ham, cheese, egg, cherry tomatoes), Our savoury crêpe is a great gluten-free option as it comes on a crêpe made from buckwheat flour!" says Ed. Miquette extends its charm into the late hours, staying open until 8 pm on Thursday and Friday evenings, where you can gather some friends and savour a plate of cheese and charcuterie paired with their exceptional natural wines. "This is one of the things that I love about what we've created," Ed shares, "there's something for everyone, young and old, locals and tourists, friends and families." Additionally, Miquette will host live music on the first Friday of every month, promising a vibrant atmosphere for all to enjoy.
