The experience

Look up.

Above the Chef’s Table hangs a chandelier of pearl strands. From one spot in the room, they line up into the Cocody O.

Out front, hundreds of crystal lights glow over the dining room. Take a seat at the horseshoe bar, in the dining room, at the Chef’s Table or on the patio.

Beautiful, yes. Stiff, never.

Our story

From Cocody, to Houston.

Cocody takes its name from Edith and Edwin Bosso’s home, a neighborhood beside the Ébrié Lagoon in Abidjan. It came by way of Paris, crossed an ocean and found a home on West Gray.

In the kitchen, Executive Chef Lionel Debon cooks with French technique, fresh ingredients and a little Gulf Coast character.
