Champagne and Fries: London’s Most Unexpectedly Perfect Pairing

Who would’ve guessed that the culinary plot twist of 2025 would be… fries and champagne? TikTok can claim the viral spark, sure, but at Coupette London we decided to give this cheeky pairing the stage it deserves — with our own East End swagger. Because here’s the thing: trends aren’t just something you scroll past, they’re something you taste. And nothing hits quite like a crisp fry dunked in salt, chased with the sparkle of proper champagne. It’s indulgence without the stuffiness; the kind of combo that makes you grin before you’ve even snapped the photo. 

But we don’t stop at following fads. At Coupette, the aim has always been to flip the ordinary into the unforgettable. That late-night craving? We’ll turn it into a conversation starter. That TikTok obsession? We’ll remix it into an experience that feels just as good in your glass as it looks on your feed. Step into our East London cocktail bar and you’ll see what we mean. The menu has been given a playful shake-up — fries meet fizz, cocktails carry a little mischief, and every plate feels like a wink to the kind of person who loves trying something first. Because being “in the know” tastes better when it comes with bubbles. The pairing feels almost too perfect to be accidental. And that’s why it’s gone from TikTok screens to Coupette’s tables — reimagined with a little London cool and a lot of flavour. This isn’t just about eating and drinking. It’s about living the trend, sharing the moment, and raising a glass (or basket of fries) to the simple things that end up rewriting the rules. And if 2025 has taught us anything already, it’s this: sometimes the most viral ideas are hiding in plain sight — or in this case, on your plate. 

So next time you’re hunting for the best cocktail bar in East London or looking for a food pairing that’s a little bit outrageous but totally works, you know where to come. Champagne. Fries. Coupette. Viral for all the right reasons. 

Why Champagne and Fries Just Work 

Think of it as the culinary equivalent of opposites attracting. On one hand, you’ve got golden, salty fries with that irresistible crunch. On the other, a chilled glass of champagne that’s crisp, dry, and bursting with bubbles. Together? Pure alchemy. The salt sharpens the sparkle, the fizz cleanses the palate, and suddenly what seemed like a TikTok gimmick starts feeling like a dining ritual you’ll want to repeat. At Coupette, we like to lean into contrasts. Our signature cocktails play with unexpected pairings — a splash of Calvados here, a whisper of cacao there — so it only makes sense that we’d take this trend and make it our own. Champagne with fries isn’t just fun, it’s flavour science, and we’re here for it. 

Fries, Fizz, & a Twist: Why Coupette is London’s New Playground for Foodies & TikTok Creators 

London doesn’t do ordinary anymore — not when it comes to food. Forget safe menus and predictable pairings; the city’s diners want moments that can live as comfortably on TikTok as they do on their taste buds. And this is where Coupette, tucked into the beating heart of London’s cocktail scene, has been quietly rewriting the rules. Take the now-legendary fries with champagne. It’s not a gimmick, not a hashtag-hungry stunt — it’s a deliberate clash of everyday comfort with unapologetic luxury. You’re handed a pile of fries fresh from the fryer, golden and steaming, with bubbles chosen to cut through the salt and starch like a perfectly rehearsed punchline. What could have been novelty turns into balance, and that deserves the right glass in hand. But Coupette never stops at one good trick. Their menu reads like an ongoing conversation between French elegance and London’s restless hunger for reinvention. One week, you might catch a playful limited-edition pairing inspired by the latest Gen Z food craze blowing up feeds across the UK; the next, you’re tasting something that feels like it’s been pulled straight from a Parisian late-night brasserie and dropped onto Bethnal Green Road with a cheeky wink.

It’s dining that constantly asks: “What if?” And then there are the desserts. Not the predictable, sugar-laden finales you can find anywhere, but dishes that flip the script entirely. Think sweets that surprise you with a savoury edge, or nostalgic flavours dressed up for a night out. They’re the kind of plates that make you pause mid-scroll because they don’t just look good — they make you curious. That’s really the Coupette signature: every detail built for both pleasure and shareability. It’s indulgent without being pretentious, experimental without losing sight of flavour, and effortlessly tuned into the cultural rhythm of London right now. For diners chasing their next TikTok-worthy discovery, and for food lovers who simply want something that makes them smile, Coupette offers the rarest of combinations — a menu that entertains as much as it satisfies. So if you’re tired of safe dining and hungry for stories you can taste, you know where to book your next night out. 

More Than a Trend — It’s a Coupette State of Mind 

Yes, champagne and fries might have started as a viral TikTok moment, but in our world, it’s become a reflection of what dining in London should feel like in 2025: bold, curious, and just the right amount of cheeky. Food shouldn’t be fussy; it should spark conversations, invite laughter, and taste incredible while doing so. That’s why our menus are never static. From our renowned Apple cocktail that’s become a cult favourite, to limited-edition plates inspired by what’s buzzing online, Coupette thrives on making every visit feel like you’ve stumbled into something special. When people ask where to try champagne with snacks in London, we want the answer to always be with us, at Coupette, where flavour and fun hold equal weight.
