The prime corner spot near the main entrance to North Hills was originally Restaurant Savannah, but it closed in late 2006.
Savannah was followed by South, owned by Raleigh restaurateurs Kevin and Stacey Jennings. But after a lukewarm reception, the couple closed South in June.
Now they're back with Coquette Brasserie. It will become part of their Urban Food Group portfolio, which includes popular local eateries Frazier's, Porter's and Vivace.
Coquette will be a step up from a cafe, but with a relaxed atmosphere. It will serve French favorites such as steak pommes frites and breakfast items including omelettes and quiche.
It's to open in late October.

The Triangle's unemployment rate continued its steady climb in August, as the national slump and soaring energy prices hurt hiring prospects for job seekers, The N&O's Alan Wolf reports.
The jobless rate for the region that includes Durham, Johnston, Orange and Wake counties was 5.4 percent in August, according to adjusted data released Friday by the N.C. Employment Security Commission.
That was the highest since November 2003 and up from 3.7 percent a year ago.
"Businesses are less willing to expand their operations now and hire more workers," said Mark Vitner, a Wachovia economist.
Still, this region's job market remains stronger than that of the nation, which saw the unemployment rate jump to 6.1 percent in August. The state average climbed last month to 6.9 percent.
