Le Comptoir Boutary

We were a group of nine, gathered around a small table. It felt a little cramped, but the cozy setting was perfect for a family meal. Although the restaurant offered an English menu, we spent quite some time deciding what to order. The staff were very helpful, and communication in English was smooth and effortless. The food was absolutely fabulous. My daughter loved the ox tongue, while my personal favorite was the fish. The almond sauce was outstanding, paired with a perfectly cooked fillet featuring crispy skin—simply amazing. For dessert, the waitress mentioned that the chocolate with seaweed wouldn’t be “very sweet,” but it turned out to be another highlight of the evening. We all loved it! The wine pairing complemented the dishes beautifully. Overall, it was a delightful experience that indulged our taste buds in authentic French cuisine.

Perfectly composed menu with a modern choice of fish, meat, poultry and vegetarian. What a joy watching the precise work in the open kitchen. Everything tastes so good! (Try desert even if you are no desert person - like me. Nice and balanced; not too sweet nor too much chocolate etc; just a superb finale!)

The wine didn’t arrive before the starter, and the mashed potatoes with sour cream and caviar were quite simple — the potatoes could’ve been smoother. Nothing particularly impressive. The waitress struggled a bit with opening the wine, which was slightly amusing but fine in the end. Some aprons looked a bit messy, even though the restaurant had just opened. We initially got only four slices of bread, which seemed a bit stingy, but more came later, so no complaints there. The main courses were fine — you can tell it’s a Michelin-style place, though personally, it didn’t wow me. I probably wouldn’t go back, but it was an interesting experience.

If you come here, you have to try the pomme de terre boutary appetizer. Truly one of the most delicious things I’ve had. the rest of the food is great and service was wonderful too, would recommend this restaurant.

Interesting place with modern French cuisine and a good service. We really like the lentils with crayfish, in terms of taste but also the presentation, set as an optical illusion to look like caviar for a reference with their core business. Service is good but the seating should be improved big time

Great food and attentive service. The only downside is that the location doesn't have AC. As we visited during a heat wave, it was warmer than comfortable. But there were lots of electrix fans, and the staff did provide extra ice for our drinks.

Perfect! A perfect dinner for our 42nd wedding anniversary. We made reservations 2 months out, and we were so pleased with our choice for our trip to Paris. The man in charge was very gracious and helpful. The atmosphere was very pleasant, as was our server. We ordered that night's tasting menu, and it was so delicious. The wine and drinks were also very good. The whole experience was something we will never forget.

Really interesting and delicious experience. The restaurant has a classic French cuisine vibe but it has also some modern elements. Definitely try Chocolate Caviar.
