I had a good experience at Chouchou overall. This place has good food, and excellent service. It does takes too long to serve some of their food and the bathroom is gross.
I went here for my brother-in-law’s wedding rehearsal dinner. My husband and I shared the smoked salmon roulade, salad fricasee, filet mignon, duck confit, creme brulee, chocolate fondant cake, and fruit tart all in one meal! The salmon roulade and salad fricasee were good but didn’t have me jumping out of my seat. The salad fricasee has bacon all over it so its tasty but not healthy. The filet mignon was good but not exceptionally memorable. The duck confit was really the best I have ever had outside of France. The creme brulee was exactly how creme brulee should be with a crispy sugary burnt crust. The chocolate fondant cake was dense and moist with fresh creme on the side. The fruit tart had some fresh pears and blueberries and it was yummy and not too sweet.
I’m going to be honest about some of the bad points of this place. My aunt’s mushroom souffle came out after everyone else had already finished their meal. That took wayyyyy too long. I tasted it and wasn’t impressed. Also, the bathroom is gross and the whole floor is wet and it smelled like urine. I’ve seen cleaner restrooms in gas stations than I have at this place.
I would go try Chouchou for the food, try not to go to the bathroom at the restaurant, and refrain from ordering the mushroom souffle. You can’t go wrong with the duck confit and the creme brulee!
