Had a lovely lunch catching up with an old friend. We didn’t have stools but we had a good spot at the counter. The food is delicious and well prepared. Don’t miss the bread and the enormous slab of butter on the counter- it’s yummy....There is no wine list, but the server is happy to recommend something based on what you like- we were very pleased with his suggestion. It’s a small place and it for sure gets crowded so you have to be patient. I wouldn’t recommend going if you’re in a rush. But the service is fine. I’ve read some of the other reviews and it’s unfortunate people had a bad experience. The person working behind the counter today spoke French, Italian, English. I noticed no difference in the service provided based on the language the customers were speaking.More

I had read a few poor reviews of this tapas bar and I can't understand their reviews after eating here. I suppose that some American diners, and those used to American dining experiences, mistake French politeness and the custom of not rushing customers as rudeness...and being ignored. When you travel, look up the customs and know what to expect. We found the staff here, who spoke English, to be professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The tapas plates were delicious and we were given perfect pairings of wine from the staff. It is a bit crowded in the space due to the well deserved popularity of L'Avant Comptoir, but we still received great service and enjoyed our experience. This is a top-notch tapas bar and well worth the visit!More

Best Tapas with French twist in Paris... Terrific friendly service as well. You get exactly what you want to eat without attitude. Terrific wine bar & variety on the tapas menu. The seafood place next door also delicious. One if the go to spots in...Paris. Evenings are very crowded so check out lunchtime.More

Get there midweek before or after the lunch rush, grab a stool and settle in. Just ask the bar/waitress for wine recommendations if you are unsure along with the small plates on offer. The oysters are fresh, the squid with chorizo and scallops are amazing...and its great value. If you fancy some meat dishes pop next door (sister restaurant) and order/pay and they will bring it in piping hot. I had the roast belly of pork and hamburger with foie gras. Good fun, buzzing little place with friendly staff. Recommended!More

Des huitres frais a Paris! Des huitres du Normandie, Cap Ferret et Tremblade! 🥰🥰🥰 Very small place but great and fresh food. You are served very quickly so no. waiting time. Like it (for week days) 🤗

Awful service. After 30mn wait, we reminded the waitress about our order, they forgot to bring it and then they refused to expedite it despite us needing to leave. They said we will have to wait another 20-30mn. Our order was 6 oysters, it normally...takes less than 2mn to open 6 oysters... we had to leave without eating anything. They were not even sorry. So arrogant.More

Delicious variety & friendly staff. The menu is hanging from flyers on the ceiling very original & the daily specials on a chalkboard are delicious. Funny & cool staff too, nice to locals and tourists alike. One of very best spots in Paris. Love their...house bread & butter.More
