"A Left Bank institution by Yves Camdeborde, this standing-room-only spot embraces bistronomy’s convivial spirit: perch at the bar, carve curls of butter for crusty bread, and choose tapas-style plates from cards dangling from the ceiling. The food leans meaty and creative — highlights include truffled Comté croque-monsieur, house-made fries with tarragon mayo, beef tataki with asparagus and peas (and an unexpected peanut note), pâté en croûte, and black pudding terrine. No reservations, so arrive early for apéro; a neighboring seafood sister bar offers an alternative." - Eleanor Aldridge
"The idea behind this quirky standing-room only joint is to load up on the first-class finger food. While the menu does occasionally change, you’ll almost always find the likes of ham croquettes, fried Parmesan cheese puffs, boudin noir macarons, and artichoke and cured ham waffles on offer." - Sara Lieberman, Lindsey Tramuta
"Yves Camdeborde was so busy at his popular Left Bank restaurant, Le Comptoir, that he opted to accommodate the overflow by opening a tiny bar à vin next door. Though it’s standing room only, which is quite common in Paris, the delicious Béarnais-style small plates are worth tempting discomfort. We promise it’s a pleasant experience."
