Couqley is a casual French bistro concept offering an affordable luxury dining experience with a focus on quality ingredients and dishes made "a la minute." Inspired by the bistros of New York and Paris, Couqley has successfully expanded from its origins in Beirut to locations across Lebanon and the UAE, with plans for further regional growth.
