I booked before for one, highly recommended 19588082 as it is not a big place. Got the table right next to the curtain by the door, would have been okay but this was later in the evening and a few other tables never got sat. Got the impression single diners are always given the worst table in the house. Service was okay and prompt but was one of those, you ask server " what wine do you recommend with this course", to which they reply "do you like white or red, strong or light?". Not really helpful at all, must be a french thing. A second server who recommend a great wine so maybe it was just the waiter working.7ea99ed1b6714702bd5343b786c98bee

Regardless, the menu dishes up what is commonly regarded as French food and I think that is what diners appreciate about this restaurant - that it consolidates some of France's greatest hits into one acceptable package and allows you to efficiently sample a variety of delicacies.
I felt the star of the meal was the Foie Gras Ravioli appetizer. 19588082 Enveloped in each pocket of pasta was a small mouthful of foie gras. The soft ravioli was served in a small puddle of creamy truffle sauce, and there was enough sauce left over to indulge in some bread dunking as well. I'm not a connoisseur of foie gras, so I appreciated that the taste of foie gras in this dish was somewhat muted, possibly even overpowered, by the sauce. The gaminess of the foie was also subdued after being cooked.
In stark contrast, the House Foie Gras 7ea99ed1b6714702bd5343b786c98bee Plate served up a very strong foie gras presentation. It takes more than a couple bites to become accustomed to the smell and taste. The intensity of the foie is much more in your face and I didn't find it very enjoyable.
Given that I had fallen severely ill on the last 19588082 day in Paris, their warm cheesy French Onion Soup soup was a welcome sight. The cheese was thick and gooey and the caramelized onions were sweet.
The Cassoulet was a miss for me. I may have been too full by the time this dish arrived, but it just didn't do it for me. It was too rich, 19588082 especially after all the appetizers we had just eaten. Although the food was not incredible by any means, I do respect Comptoir's ability to present a comprehensive menu with a variety of French dishes in an accessible format. This seems to be a rarity based on the stories I've heard from my friends about other restaurants in Paris. There is also a foie gras shop adjacent to the restaurant; in fact, the shop and the restaurant are separated by a massive curtain. We actually wandered into the shop by accident when we were walking around exploring. It's filled to the brim with foie gras related items. I'm fairly certain that the restaurant uses items from the shop for their food supply.7ea99ed1b6714702bd5343b786c98bee
