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.

  • Mongers' Collaboration Night

    Mar 9, 2025 only
    At Coeur, we're super excited for a collaboration with Zach Berg of Monger’s Provisions. Zach and Chef Jordan met and worked together at RN74 in San Francisco, a wonderful modern French restaurant that set the dining world on fire in 2010. These two will step into the Coeur kitchen and run back dishes from that iconic old-school French menu. A sort of ode to their friendship, but also to their San Francisco restaurant roots.

    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.

    Always a fine meal at Coeur. This was our first time trying the tasting menu. Theme was "Fast Food February". Four savory tastings and a dessert- all aiming for a fast food palette with creativity and whimsy. Every tasting plate was beautifully presented and every bite just knock out amazing. Even the dessert was worth the calories. Often, tasting menus are too over the top with the amount of food served and we tend to get too full or even bored before it is all served. Sometimes less is more. In this case the serving sizes were just right and we could enjoy it all from the first tasting to the last. Service at Coeur has always been top notch. There's a warm vibe to the place all around.
