Edith and Edwin never forgot.
Cocody takes its name from their home, a neighborhood in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. In Houston, they imagined a restaurant where art catches your eye, dinner rewards your curiosity, and hospitality never feels rehearsed. Beautiful, yes. Stiff, never.
Chef Lionel brings decades of experience in celebrated European kitchens to a menu shaped by French technique, fresh ingredients, and Gulf Coast character. Expect polish on the plate and pleasure at the table.
November through January, handled beautifully.
Holiday parties are only the beginning. Gather the team, thank your employees, entertain clients, bring the family together, mark a milestone, or simply make time for your favorite people.
- Private rooms, reserved dining, the Patio, and full buyouts — each shaped around your guest list.
- Menus, cocktails, and wine pairings built with Chef Lionel, then made yours.
- An event team that handles the details so the evening feels effortless.

Conversation rising. Courses arriving at just the right pace. The first bottle opened before anyone checks the time. Reserve tables in the Main Dining Room, gather privately, or fill the restaurant with the energy of a full celebration.
The setting, menu, rhythm, service, and pours are shaped around your people.
Consider the sample menu a delicious beginning.

A first sip. A perfect pairing. A toast worth remembering.
A signature cocktail or mocktail to start the evening beautifully.
Wines selected course by course, or poured generously for the table.

The Private Chef’s Table Drawing
The named host of every contracted event valued at $2,500 or more is entered into Cocody’s drawing for the private Chef’s Table room. The selected host may reserve the room without its usual food and beverage minimum.
Food, beverages, tax, gratuity, and fees remain the host’s responsibility. Reservation takes place after your contracted event and before May 2027, on a date selected by Cocody.
A Table for the Person Behind the Buyout
With a qualifying full restaurant buyout, the named event contact receives a complimentary Cocody tasting menu for two, reserved on a select date chosen by us.
A qualifying buyout is valued at $12,000 or more, meets Cocody’s food and beverage minimum, and is contracted within five days of consultation.
