The rooftop French restaurant, which is owned by Evolv Collection, will move from its current location at No. 1 Poultry in the City in January 2027, and will continue to trade until it moves.
The new Coq d’Argent will sit atop One Millennium Bridge – a development featuring expansive rooftop gardens designed by Chelsea gold medallist Andy Sturgeon – with large terraces and uninterrupted views across the river and north to St Paul’s Cathedral.
The new venue will ‘reflect everything its guests have loved for a generation – the gardens, the glamour, the great Burgundian cooking and fine wine list – in an even more dramatic setting’, according to Evolv Collection.
“Coq d’Argent is woven into the fabric of the City – a restaurant where deals have been struck, engagements celebrated and countless bottles of great Burgundy shared for nearly thirty years,” says Martin Williams, CEO Evolv Collection.
“Sir Terence Conran created something truly iconic at No. 1 Poultry, and it was essential that its next home be every bit as extraordinary. One Millennium Bridge, with its rooftop gardens and unrivalled views of St Paul’s and the Thames, is exactly that. This is not a farewell – it is the beginning of Coq d’Argent’s most exciting chapter yet. I am sure it will do Sir Terence proud.”
Founded by Conran in 1998 atop James Stirling’s post-modern masterpiece at No. 1 Poultry, Coq d’Argent is known for its classic French cuisine as well as its rooftop gardens overlooking the Bank of England, that has made it a popular city destination for three decades.
