Le Comptoir, Bistro restaurant in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, France
Le Comptoir is a bistro restaurant in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district of Paris, located on the ground floor of Hôtel Relais Saint-Germain and serving French cuisine in an interior decorated with art deco elements. The dining room combines modern elegance with classic design details from the interwar period.
The restaurant was founded in 2004 by chef Yves Camdeborde and pioneered the bistronomy concept before its ownership changed to chef Bruno Doucet in 2022. This transition marked a shift in how the establishment continues to develop its culinary direction.
The restaurant follows French dining traditions with a single evening sitting of five courses, presenting regional specialties and local cheese selections.
The restaurant is located at Carrefour de l'Odéon and operates on a reservation-based system with a fixed tasting menu. It is wise to book in advance as seating is limited and hours may vary by season.
Beside the main restaurant, the L'Avant Comptoir bar offers French tapas as an alternative when the main room is fully booked. This adjoining space provides a casual way to explore the restaurant's cooking in smaller portions.
