On a recent trip to Paris, my husband and I stopped in here for a quick lunch. Do it!…read more L'Avant Comptoir is a tiny wine bar in the 6th arrondissement which serves an assortment of small plates. The menu changes daily, and every item is fantastic! Beautifully plated, quality ingredients, imaginative choices, warm welcome, fast service. Top notch.

Unfortunately the young girl wasn't friendly like Anthony Bourdain said…read more No English menu which was fine, but they can't really help on describing. She was also rough slamming utensils and dishes which was wild. Squid Ink Croquettes was very good in my opinion. Lots of ink and chunks of squid. Good flavor. Shrimp Ravioli in Seaweed Soup was more like a dim sum dish... A glass of white wine was €10 which is high. Butter was very good though as expected.

Amazing food and a very lovely restaurant. The owner was very kind and friendly. Highly recommend.read more

If I could only recommend one restaurant in Paris, this would be that place! I think this might be…read moreone of my favorite meals ever, not just on vacation. After a very long day in Disney Paris, my friends and I were starving and not looking to go far so we found this place right around the corner from where we were staying. The owner is this sweetheart who suggested we order three dishes each and then share everything. Three of us decided to share and one of the girls in the group decided to get three things for herself. We also paired the meal with a bottle of white and a bottle of rosé that completed our meal perfectly! What we ordered: - 2 scallop carpaccio - 2 mushroom risotto - 3 gnocchi - mini burger - stuffed peppers - white fish (don't remember the actual fish) ceviche - veggie quesadillas - mozzarella sticks Not one plate that was sent to us wasn't devoured. Personally, our favorites were the Gnocchi, soft and pillowy in the most AMAZING cream sauce, and scallop carpaccio, fresh scallops seasoned to perfection in a light acidic sauce. Even the dishes that I probably would never order in Paris like the mozzarella sticks, quesadilla and mini burger. We're also completely delicious. Actually the mozzarella sticks had the most insane, you can tell that these were homemade. Even with no room left in our stomach, we ordered dessert. We ordered two crème brûlée and two chocolate cakes to split and then a apple tart for the table. Crème brûlée was insane, a must order! When my friends left and I was in Paris by myself, I actually came back alone twice! When I went, it was around the Olympics, so the owner was so nice to come and sit with me and show me how to get cheap tickets online that I never would've been able to find myself. Such a sweet soul! The place is pretty small, they pack as many tables as they could in here. Make a reservation if you want to sit outside or come later in the night if you just want to walk in.

I just seemed to always stumble on little hole in the walls ... anyway- read the yelp reviews which…read morewere good and decided to try it since it was tapas ; I was surprised to see it was more of a little store with food than a restaurant however we were amazed by the quality of every dish we ate! Staff was very friendly and helped us navigate the miscellaneous item on the menu- I can't think of a bad thing to say it was fun and totally delicious! Don't go if you're expecting a full menu and a sit down dinner it's a store that sells charcuterie etc and they serve what they sell as menu items- I had a salmon sandwich that was just amazing - I highly recommend it! Try their oils, their garlic is amazing - the saucisson was probably one of the best I have ever eaten... add to that a nice wine selection and... I will go back!

We had eaten a late lunch and were heading out of Paris in the morning, so we weren't really…read morewanting a big dinner, and some meats and cheeses sounded perfect! We are so happy we stumbled across this place on Yelp, as it is just what we were wanting (and the food was so good!) When we went there, it appeared to only be locals there (it isn't in a super touristy area), which is always a good sign. We ordered a few of the side plates (they were sold out of a few, but that's also a good sign), and some meats and cheeses. The wine selection was great and we enjoyed it, very much. They appeared to be closing early that night, so we are happy we got there in time. Definitely check this spot out

Ok so they made a mistake and dropped a tray on my wife's head. It then crashed into our table…read morebroke a few cups and spilled stuff all over my leg and lap. Mistakes happen but it's how people deal with them that set them apart. they were super apologetic and then comped our drinks and got everything cleaned up. As for the food I found it pretty tasty. The clams were a unique preparation that strayed from the butter garlic wine sauce that is so common these days. The artichokes were tasty. The tomato and bread dish was great and the atmosphere lovely.

Perfect! The 5 tapas we shared were all delicious. We had the chorizo, sautéed squid, sautéed…read moreshrimp, pan con tomato with Serrano ham and the tapas plate of the day. More than enough for the 2 of us. The chorizo and sautéed seafood stood out the most and the others were delicious. The sangria is in the sweet side, may not be to everyone's taste. It was flavorful and potent. Get the litre. We arrived at 10:15 and they closed at 11 and they sat us right away. The service was very fast and friendly. When I mentioned we were celebrating our engagement the waiter brought us over a gift. The price can't be beat for the amount of food. For 5 tapas and a pitcher of sangria it was under $60 euro. We highly recommend. Enjoy!
