Most folks inside for a drizzly day.
Robert M.

Pretty standard French cafe. Plenty of seating outside, but it was a blustery day in April with some light rain occasionally, so we joined everyone else inside. Pretty tight per Paris standards, but plenty of elbow room from our seat. Had a glass of house white that was pretty good. Started off with a shared soup a l'oignon (onion soup). It was just great! Also added a club de poulet which turned out to be too much food between the two. The club came with some waffle cut fries/potatoes that were tasty but unobtrusive. The club was good, but the pickeled veggies took some getting used to as well. The waiter was good, the bathroom did the deed (upstairs) and we enjoyed the warm stay in the rain.

Onion Soup!

Yes! Go here. Eat this. Busy place but service was very good. Onion soup to start with a croque and a 1/2 bottle of red!

Croque madame with side salad
Kimberly B.

La Comète was very conveniently located just across the street from the hotel we stayed at. We had a lovely breakfast here! My husband isn't a big breakfast person, so he opted for the smaller option and enjoyed his hot chocolate, orange juice, and croissant. I selected the croque madame, which came with a side salad with a balsamic drizzle. The salad was light, fresh, and served as a great balance to the deliciously cheesy sandwich. Service was quick and friendly, and our outdoor seating was just in a spot of sunlight to warm us up in the brisk morning temperature. I would definitely recommend La Comète!

I came to La Comete twice when I was in Paris because it was super affordable and their escargot is amazing. If you come during their lunch hours (I believe this is 12:00-17:00), you basically get their escargot for free! At 15 euros, you can either get an appetizer+main plate OR main plate+dessert. Both times, I got their 6 piece escargot appetizer. It's so delicious and I recommend you try it. The garlic herb butter is phenomenal and the complimentary bread soaks it right up after you devour the escargots. For the main plates, I'd suggest the duck confit. However, this may be a hit or miss for you. The first time I got their duck confit, it was perfectly crispy and flavorful. However, my boyfriend got the duck confit during our second visit and the skin wasn't as crispy and it was greasy. I also tried their lamb with ratatouille and the steak with mashed potatoes. Both were really good so you can't go wrong. The service here is wonderful. They had the English menu available and also took our order in English. The restaurant itself is one of the bigger restaurants in Paris, but the tables and chairs are quite small. To get in, you may have to move the table out. For payment, I had to go up to the bar and it was uncomfortable because of servers coming out of the kitchen constantly. However, I'd deal with these nuisances for a fix of their escargot any day.

A very different way of making onion soup
Linda L.

Hit or miss at La Comete, the first time I went it was great but the second time I went, it was terrible. This little restaurant was only a 5 minute walk from my Best Western hotel and it is on a street popping with restaurants and bars. I stumbled on it through Yelp and decided to give it a try on my first night in Paris. Every night I went, it was packed. Even at two different times 7 pm and 9 pm. The servers are flying around and definitely don't expect them to come check on you often. You may wait a bit before they even take your order. I had the onion soup on two different occasions and the first time it was piping hot which was great. The second time it was room temperature which was gross. The cheese didn't even fully melt. Their way of making onion soup is not the typical Americanized way where them bake the whole bown and the cheese is Crusted on. This restaurant makes the soup then just throws in the bread and sprinkles the cheese on top before serving. Not my favorite. The duck confit on the first night was dry and over roasted. The second night it was nice and tender with crispy skin. The bed of roasted potatoes was delicious on both tries. The escargot was pretty good. Not as big as I've had it at other French restaurants but the sauce was tasty.

Comfy, cozy spot for eaither a quick drink, coffee or dinner. I had the thick steak meal. The steak was tender and the potatoes were creamy. Great service and a must try while in Paris.

Best Fish & Chips I've ever had. So fresh & Frispy. Cesar salad is also good. No wonder so many people look like regular customers, not only tourists. Im

Dinner menu!

So... I just don't understand all the terrific reviews that La Comète receives. This review is based on only one visit... it was really busy and I suppose every restaurant has bad days now and then, so maybe that's all it was. BUT the croque madame was not very good. The bread was too hard (maybe even stale)... and it just did not have much flavor. We also ordered the flat iron steak with frites. The frites were tasty, but the steak was undercooked (we ordered it medium well and it came out medium rare)... and just not good. I know everything is done a little differently in Europe than in America, but this was at the tail end of our trip where we experienced some spectacular meals and some average ones... so my expectations were realistic. Unfortunately, La Comète disappointed us. **TWO STARS**

So yum!!!Went here on our last night in Paris! Easy to communicate if you only speak english!

Salmon and Fried Goat Cheese Salad
Paige D.

I was a bit unsure when we first got to La Comète, as we were hoping to be seated outside but the manager was a bit unfriendly and told us we could not. The table we were seated at was very close to other tables and the area was a bit hot. On top of this the place was doing a great business and we were worried it was going to take awhile to order and get our food... BUT instead we had an amazing meal and the wait staff even though a little short staffed, was quick, helpful, and kind! We got the Duck Confit--really awesome and we thought the portion was a great size, the 6 Snails (escargot) which were very garlicky in a good way (they also bring out bread and snail utensils that make the experience better/ easier), and the Salmon and Fried Goat Cheese Salad--really yummy and would totally be satisfying if that was the only dish I got. They also had great drinks, I got wine but people I was with got the Pina Colada and Moscow Mule and both were good. Pricing was great--for all of this (and some drinks were on happy hour discounts) the total was 56 euro! Would recommend!!

Love this place. The atmosphere is relaxing, chill and makes me feel comfortable, the service is great. The prices are affordable, and most importantly the food is really good. My wife ordered the thick steak with potatoes and I have never seen her put away potatoes this fast! I got the bacon cheeseburger with fries and love the crispiness of the fries and the flavor of the burger. The drinks are also flavorful. The rose I had ( IGP Mèditerranèe) was smooth! Had to get two glasses. My wife got the Bordeaux Supèrier and said it was very appealing to the tongue. We will definitely return tomorrow morning for more. So far our #1 spot on our Paris vacation. Hard to top this.

Salmon! Delicious

My favorite bar for the area around rue des Abbesses. This is a great and very popular (but tiny)…read morebar just up the hill. They specialize in mojitos, make lots of them, and typically have a descent size crowd outside smoking and drinking mojitos/beers on their tiny "terrasse" or on the adjacent sidewalk. They serve a nice "planche" of cheese and charcuterie - nothing to rave about but nice to have at your disposal after a few mojitos. While the bar is usually crowded, you can still find a corner to chat with a friend or date without too much hassle. I go here for their house specialty cocktail: Le Captain. This is a rum-based drink with blue curaçao and an upside down bottle of Orangina and a straw that goes into the bottle. As you drink, the bottle turns green and while at first it just tastes like Orangina the whole thing eventually becomes a delicious if perhaps dangerous mind "hand grenade" (it kinda looks like one too) as the rum gets pulled in towards the end. They also can make mojitos with Sailor Jerry now (a Captain Morgan spiced rum ripoff) and the results are rather delicious (but normally guarantee a headache - I recommend avoiding Jerry and his treacherous ways...) There is another cocktail based on Kahlua that is surprisingly yummy but I forget the name. Anyways - great place. Highly recommended for small groups of friends from 11pm to closing time at about 1:30am. Happy hour can be nice as well :D

Fun spot and great live music . Check out their country/western , Western swing and rockabilly…read morenights on Sundays!

This place is such a good time! The bartenders were super friendly and taught me about genever…read more(which is excellent). The drinks were delicious: well thought out and well executed. This was the first time that I had a grasshopper, it was a refreshing drink that was a good way to end the night. They had a good list of boozy drinks as well that fit my palate. The small bar has sort of a carousel look to it. They had a three piece band doing Jimi Hendrix songs. I could see myself being a regular here.

What a great find!…read more This bar doesn't look like much from the outisde but once you walk in, its super cool and full of character. The bar staff was extremely friendly and educated us on the history of the bar. Both bartenders spoke english and were from United States. It was explained to us that Lulu White was a brothel madam, that was concidered to have more power than the mayor of New Orleans during the late 1800s. Her brothel contained a "Blue Book" that allowed patrons to chose their companion via photos. The Lulu White bar, took this concept and allows you to chose your drink according to the individuals photographed in the "Blue book". We were told the individuals listed in the book change about every 6 months but the Lulu White drinks remains constant. I tried the Lulu White: Altos Anejo Tequila, Plymouth Gin, Genepi, Absentroux, and Cardamon noir. It came in a elegant beautiful glass and It tasted like a dry martini with a licorice flavor from the absinthe. This was definitley a drink you sip on to enjoy. The décor of the bar, resembled historical New Orleans with its dim lighting and elegant décor and half moon booth seating. This was a great surprise, and I recomment anyone to stop by and check it out!
