Let’s express our passion through exquisitely prepared cuisine, exceptional wine, and gracious service—all within a cozy, minimalist atmosphere designed to delight.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Jordan Smith

From the OpenTable editors: Fine-dining vet Jordan Smith has plenty of fun with the menu at his French-ish Ferndale spot that the Detroit Free Press named 2024's best new restaurant. The sleek wooden interiors make it feel very upscale, but Coeur is totally unpretentious and laidback. Expect a seasonal menu of dishes like a branzino curry with trumpet mushroom and next-level desserts from pastry chef Carla Spicuzzi like a swanky take on a Choco Taco. Make the most of your visit by choosing the five-course chef's tasting.

    My husband loved it! I very much liked it. The atmosphere was nicely casual and the service was perfect! The appetizers were out of this world! A few minor critiques, the mushrooms in tempura were just as they sound with no highlighted feature. However, the salad and the salmon were lovely. The entrees were portioned well and full of flavor. The ribeye steak was a bit tough though but my delight with the cod and the short rib made it seem not relevant. Desserts were exciting!

    The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the food. It is a small menu which I like. However, there was an Asian inspired sauce, very salty on the rhy linguine I ordered. Why something so strong on a mild dish, instead of a light lemon,oil finish? The branzini my husband ordered was a very small serving and it sat on top of the same sauce. It’s a mild fish, doesn’t need any strong salty sauce. The octopus small plate was very tender but the “mushroom beignets” were just dough with no sign of mushroom flavoring. We were told there was a “mushroom dusting” over them. It’s a very contemporary casual place, so attractively done, I just hope they can improve the menu. We are not motivated to return.

    In the top list of tasting menus. Will try more times with specific entrees. Almost embarrassed- live so close and this was the first time there. Such a diverse serving staff with all focused on the same thing…. Delivering the Best experience at Coeur. A+ for delivery. The second best wine list in the Detroit area. (You guess my top pick). Went for anniversary for the first time. Strong, very strong recommendation.
