    Yikes this place was kind of a mess. We did a check of local restaurants after we exited the Catacombs. We looked up burger spot's close by and mind you we already had several good burgers in France by this point in our trip. the service was extremely slow and the waiters were kind of rude. First I ordered a beer and they gave me the wrong one. The I ordered escargot and burger both were alright. My wife had onion soup which had no taste as her app, then ordered the Croque Madame she did not like it. My kids both had burgers and they did not like them. Understand that they use a cheese sauce not pieces of cheese. The burgers were almost raw when the kids got them. Had to send both back to get cooked longer and even when they got them again, they were still very under. The service was defintely lack luster. This was one of two places that underperformed while we were in Paris. The bathroom downstairs was disgusting as well. I would stay away and search elsewhere. Also is it very expensive for what you get.

    Nice restaurant. Good atmosphere good food. You can not go wrong stopping in and enjoying the end of a perfect day in Paris France. Or start your evening here and then hit the town and party all night.

    This restaurant's menu added citron to almost every dish (foie gras, lobster pasta, tuna steak), but it was clearly the right choice, because it worked well with every dish. We were extremely impressed by how well the citron sauce paired -- and usually I don't like lemon flavor!

    Fish and chips?

    Nice little establishment on the corner. Honestly, I can only recommend this restaurant to Americans (and maybe Brits) who want something closer to what they're used to. It's not perfect, but it gets you halfway home. My fish and chips was a poor choice as it tasted more like falafel. I wouldn't suggest the burger either as it was like beef parmigiana in a bun. Staff was very friendly, and they do have an English menu. Overall service was pretty quick.

    It may be near the catacombs and surrounded by tourists but this is a great bistro

    Nothing works up an appetite more than viewing thousands upon thousands of human remains. Zombie walk yourself right over to Le Comptoir - you'll be glad you did. The staff was very friendly and given the proximity to the Catacombs you're apt to see many tourists coming in. No worries there, this isn't some marginal food hole. The food is quite good and the staff is really nice. I took waitstaff recommendation (pan fried gnocchi, great Bordeaux) and was very satisfied. Sure the Catacombs are nice but feel free to pass it and go right to Le Comptoir.

    Escargot.  Really good.  Happy I tried it here.

    Right outside of the catacombs, this is a great place for a lunch. After looking over the menu I went with the fish and chips, and the escargot. The escargot came out pretty quickly, and it was delicious! 6 of them, covered in saucy goodness and perfectly prepared. If you haven't tried escargot, I would recommend trying it here...it was great! Service was helpful, fast, and friendly, even with a somewhat busy lunch crowd. We got the meal quick, and they also let us pay quick and get out of there, which is always a rarity in Europe. The fish and chips was okay. I wish I had gone with something else. If I were to do it again I'd get the escargot and then try something else. That would easily bump it up to a 4 or maybe 5. Definitely worth a try though! Prices were also very, very reasonable.

    My friends and I were visiting the catacombs, and ended up coming over here for a meal afterwards. Surprisingly the food here was quite delicious, even though it was right next to a tourist attraction. I had the chicken and it came on top of potatoes and with this amazing gravy sauce. The two came together super well and provided for a rich and relaxing meal. Overall a great choice, with good flavors.

    I went there for the escargot and truffle gnocchi both are gone from the current menu. So based on staff recommendations tried soup of the day, burger and the apricot pie . The meal was descent but it was something that you can find anywhere

    I ordered the burger. I was not a fan of the cheddar sauce on it. The gnocchi was way better than the burger. The service here was not very good, and it was not very busy during dinner.

    You must try the warm goat cheese salad with bacon. It's life changingly delicious. My boyfriend and I split the fish and chips and the hamburger. Both were great! The ingredients are high quality and the flavors are to die for. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. We were not rushed at all and enjoyed doing some people watching as we ate our good and sipped our wine. Don't double think it. Just go!

    Directly next to the exit of the Catacombs, this was a great experience of both food and the fantastic people of Paris! Gnocchi with creamy truffle sauce - fantastic. Snails with fresh pesto. The waitstaff unexpectedly gifted us a FANTASTIC set of skull spoons with a heart nose, that says "catacombs"! They are extremely nice to tourists, and the food was amazing, you should definitely check this place out.

    This place has the best customer service. Came here for breakfast. The owner offered bread. They must not have any so he ran to bakery and got fresh bread! Interior is farmhouse style. Good coffee and tea. Fresh squeezed orange juice and good conversation. Highly recommend.

    The BEST place I ate in Paris during my aunt's bachelorette! (this May) We were trying to find a nice restaurant after the catacombs & after going through many menus of restaurants, we finally stumbled upon Le Comptoir!!! Our waiter was the manager/owner himself & he was lively, funny, very friendly, & spoke great English. We ordered a lot and none of the food disappointed us! This restaurant truly made my experience in Paris, top-notch!! I forgot what we ate but I promise, nothing disappoints!!!!! I loved this restaurant/bistro & I will come again one day when I visit Paris again. The escargot was also surprisingly delicious In short: great atmosphere, great service, AMAZING FOOD

The apple had a lightness to it yet the middle had a fresh apple crunchiness. The other two treats were wonderful. We ordered flat white's and they were done perfect.

I couldn't tell if this was a real apple or some fancy French creation made to look like one - that's how real it looked! The mousse and apple bits were cold & delicious and the chocolate shell was good, but not sure if it was worth the price at €7.5. + Pain Au Chocolat Cookie - Verrrry good chocolate chip cookie, chocolate croissant mashup. Only thing that we were missing was some good ol' milk! + Almond Croissant - Once again, delicious! Solid croissant and definitely a good grab and go candidate. = Citronnade - Was just OK. Lemonade that was on the watered down side, but was somewhat refreshing because I was dying of thirst. THE SERVICE ----------------------- - Employee who helped us with our order was friendly, but the cashier was a bit blah and not exactly the friendliest person, especially when we asked for extra utensils and napkins. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ - Smallish, tight interior that you can dine in at, but don't be surprised if the next table is sitting on top of you. + There are also 5 outdoor tables on the narrow street. - Entrance is tight too. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------------- + Even though this bakery is ranked highly on Tripadvisor, there was no crowd on the Monday morning that we swung by. Line moved superfast.

We came here for some coffee on a rainy afternoon, but were pleasantly surprised to see escargot on the menu too and figured we'd give it a shot. Coffee wise we got the vienna coffee which had chocolate inside. It was good, with a nice espresso flavor and a huge dollop of whipped cream on top. A nice pick me up for the day. The escargot on the other hand, was so fantastic. They were served all cute in their little shells on a tray, and bubbling when we first got them. The green sauce that they came with was fantastic, and the butter was also a great addition! This made for such a flavorful little bite - escargots taste like little chewy clams to me, nothing strange at all. It also came with a few pieces of baguette to soak up the yummy sauce. Service was friendly and the inside of the restaurant has such a nice vibe. I would definitely recommend this spot!

    When in Paris, you must go to a crêperie! Breizh Cafe is a popular crêperie with many locations…read morethroughout Paris. The cafe is a tight space, but since we came early, it wasn't busy. They have a clean bathroom upstairs, you'll just need to climb the staircase. We ordered the strawberry crepe and duck and asparagus galette bretonne. So there's actually a bit of a difference between a crepe and a galette. Crepes are usually sweet and made with wheat flour, while galettes are usually savory and made with buckwheat flour. Between the two, I enjoyed the strawberry crepe more, the strawberry jam made the crepe a delicious sweet treat. The flavors of the galette weren't as satisfying to my tastebuds, but I still enjoyed it. I would be interesting in trying other galette flavors next time. While my expectations weren't fully realized (I didn't LOVE it), I still enjoyed giving Breizh Cafe a try. We didn't visit enough crêperies on this trip, so it's something I look forward to doing the next time I'm back in Paris!

I had a dessert crepe with bananas and ice cream (think bananas foster, Parisian style) and it was very reasonably priced and delicious.
