Defining the style of cuisine of this very wooden, well lightened and minimal bistro is quite challenging. You may have read that Le Comptoir was a Tapas place and now I read that is categorized as French. Actually, do NOT expect tapas in their classical small size but actual dishes more or less presented like tapases. \n\nThe delicious flavors arising from the dishes will definitely taste French and Spanish mainly. First, do not miss the opportunity to get their \"charcuterie\" platter with the restaurant's own selection of meat. Then, you will have a hard time choosing your main dish given how mouth-watering they all sound. My recommendation goes to the \"boudin\" (flange) pie which paradoxically feels light and terribly tasty. But overall, you will feel that the cuisine is very personal and contains unique ingredients.\n\nLe Comptoir also has a good selection of wine. Being on a budget, I went for the wine \"of la maison\" by the glass and found it pretty good given the pricing. \n\nIncredible food overall but I still have some concern regarding the service. You will notice that the kitchen is located behind the bar and provides little space for more than 2-3 cooks. Consequently, you might wait a little for your dishes even if the restaurant is not fully packed. But hey, have a glass of wine in the meantime and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere. Moreover, the service abides to its Plateaunic philosophy of snobbery towards anglophones. Try to come with a Frenchy.
