Fricassée de volaille, riz was amazing!!!! Huge portions. Had butternut squash soup and it was so creamy, will definitely be back.

Great spot, close to the catacombs. We were staying in the area and looking for a quick bit good lunch when we saw the rating and reviews for Le Comptoir. There are a plentiful amount of tables, but only one or maybe two waiters, but don't worry, they get to you quickly to take your order and O was impressed at how quickly the food arrived after ordering. The four in our group all loved our food, which ranged from the herring in oil, kids burgers, chicken with cream sauce, salad or a side of green beans. They were all great. We were excited to recognize locals eating here. It was a great lunch and I topped it off with an espresso to help me adjust from the time difference for my trip and couldn't recommend this place any more. read more

Great little place by the exit of the Paris catacombs. Good food and drink, prompt service. Was a little pricey but not bad for the area, check it out! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Le Comptoir - Fish and chips? - Bistros Near Me - Paris, 75

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. read more

Le Comptoir - It may be near the catacombs and surrounded by tourists but this is a great bistro - Bistros Near Me - Paris, 75

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. read more

Le Comptoir - Escargot. Really good. Happy I tried it here. - Bistros Near Me - Paris, 75

The food here is delicious, we had onion soup , a cheese fondue and a burger . The fondue was one of the best we've ever had.

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Came Out of the catacombs cold and hungry. Decided to stop in based on the Yelp reviews. We were warmly greeted at the door by the two waiters. Got situated and got ready to order. They were happy to help us even though we spoke no French beyond "merci". They helped us with the wine selection and getting our food. We had the escargot, which was amazing! Definitely get it. Also, the beef tartare was the best we had during our time in Paris. During the entire meal, the waiters didn't stop moving through the restaurant, making sure everyone was well taken care-of. We definitely got the feeling that the is a neighborhood bistro that we happened to walk into. If we are ever in the neighborhood again, go and eat here. Also, don't know why this is tagged closed. Just ate there.... read more

Lovely cafe to spend the afternoon while waiting to enter Les Catacombs. It's a few blocks from that landmark and largely out of the tourist zone. I had a lovely squash soup and salad. My husband had the gnocchi. The best part by far was the lavender creme brûlée. Have it! read more

Came here for dinner after reading all the amazing reviews about the food and atmosphere. Sadly, we left very disappointed. Although the service and location were great - right near our hotel and walking distance of the catacombs- the food quality was so bad we were barely able to finish our meals. I had the gnocchi with truffles, and my friend had the butter chicken. My gnocchi was very over cooked and lacked flavor (almost as if there weren't any real truffles in it) and the butter chicken was also flavorless and the rice was crispy and dry. Our bread was even wet and soggy, and the straws in our drinks seemed like they were reused and dirty. Although we would give this place another bc of the other patrons reviews, I sadly cannot say our experience was the same as everyone else and we were left disappointed. read more

My husband and I randomly found this spot while we were waiting for the Catacomb line to die down. They have THE BEST ESCARGOT AND FRUIT PARFAIT MERENGUE DESSERT WE'VE EVER HAD!!!! You must try the frog if you're into that too! The price is great as well which was a add on, we would have happily paid more just to eat there. read more

Got to try hot wine, which was a good experience. Was not happy with the service. Only one server available on a busy brunch day. Took 30mins for us to get water... We got our food before we even had water. We visited the restaurant on our last morning in Paris. Towards the end of our meal the restaurant traffic slowed down. Even though we were the only table left, we had to get up twice to ask for our check. Asked the first time and we were told the server would come. 20mins later we got up again to ask for the check and once again had to wait another 15 or so mins before the server brought our check. It was very annoying. we had a plane to catch and had started getting worried! read more

When we exited the catacombs we were STARVING and thank god for Le Comptoir! What a great bistro with real French food and outstanding service! My S.O. tried escargot for the first time and I had frog legs. Both were delicious and perfectly cooked. The coffee is wonderful and the desserts are even better! The creme brulee has a hint of lavender - YUM! Le Comptoir also offers a variety of English/American food for the picky eater in your group. read more

Le Comptoir was one of the best café experiences we had in Paris. We went on a Sunday night when most places were closed. With a relaxing atmosphere, courteous and friendly wait staff that speaks English, I would recommend giving this café a try. If they have it, get the lavender creme brûlée. read more

Have you ever walked into a corner joint and felt completely comfortable? Tack on the fact that my French vocabulary amounts to about five words. Tonight was the best! Steak tartare, escargot in a garlic butter to die for and the caprese, oh the caprese...If I described the desserts you'd have to hop in a Uber and get right over here. It was so enjoyable to sit around a young and vibrant crowd enjoying each other's company on a rainy night that brings on the weekend. Very affordable, huge portions and friendly service added another layer to a great meal... read more

We saw signs leading to here after getting out of the catacombs. Happy hour had just begun, so we said why not. We were greet with a server who asked us if we spoke English (very comforting). She was extremely nice and helpful. Free WiFi (I'll throw this out there). Happy Hour menu was good. Fries were delicious, and we also had the escargot, which was very buttery and yummy. read more

I really want to give 5 stars, but I just did not have the same experience that other people have. I came in the morning and it was empty. The guy behind the counter seemed annoyed with me from the get go. I came in to people watch and work as I work from my laptop. Two times another guy approached me and also seemed annoyed with me. One because of the way I was sitting, the second it was the lunch rush so I decided to leave. My intention was to get lunch there and such, but since my presence seemed unwanted I decided to go. I really wanted to like this place, but I will no return during my stay in Paris. Bummer, it's right around the corner from the flat I'm at. Sure, I could work from there, but I wanted to people watch and maybe socialize at some point. read more

Excellent service and the food was delicious! My sister had found this place on yelp and the pictures looked great so we decided to go here. We met and were seated, I believe, either by the manager or owner of the restaurant and he was friendly, funny, and attentive. There was also this girl probably around 9 or 10 who was super cute when she served us. The man who had seated us was telling the little girl what to say when giving us the menu and appetizers. Simply adorable! We ordered the escargot which was delicious! My family and I have been visiting Paris for a week now and had escargot almost every night and this place hands down was the best! The escargot were huge and divine. The main entree was pretty good too! I had the Pan Fried Gnocchi with truffle sauce. My sister had her favorite - Croque Madame. We were both super pleased with the food and service! read more

My boyfriend and I went here after visiting the catacombs and absolutely loved it. I got the gnocchi and you can really taste the truffles in the sauce, and the gnocchi was perfectly cooked. Had to be the best I've ever had. My boyfriend had the hamburger, aubac beef with a cheddar sauce and he thought it was perfection. I tried the sauce with a fry and it was very delicious. We both had a beer, that I can't recall the name but it was an unfiltered one that was wonderful! I have to note how great the owners were to us as well. Welcomed us with open arms and were very sweet and accommodating. Felt as if we were guests in their home rather than customers at an establishment and that's a great feeling to have. Also I'd like to note after reading previous reviews that they knew we were American and we were treated very well so anyone who is complaining about that, maybe it's something to do with your attitude, patience or your manners rather than your citizenship. read more

So this place is touted at the end of the catacombs tour. You see advertisements everywhere. Usually I say avoid these places, but after seeing thousands of human remains, go here for some food! Staff was excellent and the food was awesome!!!! Best part? Toilet paper... that's right! Talk about service we asked where a market was as our accommodations were low on the ol' butt parchment. He handed us a bag with a few rolls to get us by since most stuff in the area was closed!!!!!!! read more

Love this place. Great outdoor seating allowing for extensive people watching. A menu with lots of yummy vittles. Authentic laid back Parisian service. Good prices and no bullshit.

I was hesitant to walk in, I was looking at the menu outside when the owner asked if I spoke English, I of course said yes. He welcomed me into the restaurant and asked what food I was looking for. He walked me through the menu. I sat down and had a really great meal. I loved the ratatouille that came with the fish. It was superb. I wish I had more time in Paris to go again! read more
