Coquette is a restaurant inspired by Southwest France and Basque country. Full of whimsy, the walls are lined with colorful street art and pastel murals recreating Alphonse Mucha’s The Seasons, a banquette divider overflows with an ombre swath of flora, and sparkling red chandeliers hang from the ceiling in the cavernous main dining room. A 32-seat bar opens up into the café dining room, where guests have a clear view of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center across the street.

“What we tried to do here was create our version of a what a brasserie would feel like on the coast of France or the Basque region of Spain. I think it’s easy to end up putting a space together that feels very serious, very formal, but we always want it to be a little bit louder, a little bit more fun, a little bit more colorful.”
