Charming and bustling, this St. Germain wine bar serves up delightful charcuterie and global tapas, perfect for a lively outing with friends.
"This is the most recent (and biggest) addition to the L’Avant Comptoir snack-and-sip family. While the two other locations near Odeon are known for standing-room-only crowds where you might end up elbowed in the face as someone reaches for the giant slab of butter on the bar, this one has plenty of space and even some actual chairs. But there’s still some edge in the form of a grumpy and impatient bartender who won’t pour tasting after tasting (even if you speak French), so come feeling decisive. Luckily, the small bowl of whipped tarama sprinkled with chives and basil pesto gets served with a semi-smile. Paired with a dense corn and wheat flour bread filled with flecks of sunflower seeds, it’s the perfect late afternoon snack when you’re hungry after wandering around St.-Germain-des-Prés" - sara lieberman, lindsey tramuta

The two other locations near Odeon are known for standing-room-only crowds, but this one has plenty of space and even some actual chairs. Come feeling decisive, because this isn’t the kind of place where the bartender will pour tasting after tasting, even if you speak perfect French. The small bowl of whipped tarama sprinkled with chives and basil pesto is the perfect late-afternoon snack after aimlessly wandering around St.-Germain-des-Prés, especially when paired with bread filled with flecks of sunflower seeds." - sara lieberman, tanisha townsend
