Le Comptoir de Georges

I confess, we went there with real concerns regarding the place after reading the reviews, but as it was situated right in front of our flat, we said, let's give it a chance. And we didn't regret at all. The sitting was perfect, right onto the roofed deck with the best views to the canal, the traditional food was amazingly delicious (the bone marrow was a bliss!), the service was excellent, very friendly and kind, they didn't rush us at all, we had a decent Riesling wine. The quality - price balance was very good. At the end we reached a conclusion: the restaurant is placed in an extremely touristy area and probably sometimes the clients are annoyed by expecting to be treated like royalties in a very traditional, unpretentious restaurant, which of course is not happening. This type of frustrated clients lead the stuff to get grumpy and probably treat everyone badly. I think going there with a smile on your faces and be polite and understanding with the hard work of the stuff is the be way to receive a friendly service in return. This is how we did and it was a fantastic experience. Thank you.

We ordered a cordon bleu and the chicken in puff pastry with mushroom sauce. The cordon bleu was dry and bland. We did without the gravy (which you would to pay for btw) so that the batter could be crisp when we ate it, but it was not crisp but stale, the meat was so dry you could see almost sawdust-like fraying when you cut. I think if you can’t get this right, you shouldn’t put it on your menu. The other dish was more edible, but I think I know many homechefs who would do a much better job. Service was arrogant, waitress wore a smirk when taking orders. And you are forced to order one main per pax. I would not recommend anyone to come here, even if all the other restaurants were full. Just grab a baguette from a bakery and make a sandwich for yourself.

First of all the location was good but unfortunately too much umbrellas blocking the view we supposed to see. What a pity. I have one star for the unprofessional service. We wanted to order the desserts but after the waitress brought the menu, she never come back to take the order. We have been waiting for 30 mins then we decided to have no coffee and no desserts after the dinner. The food was ok

Walked into an empty place. Spoke my best broken French as always to make an effort. Asked them table for 2. Host/guy started to seat us. I asked to make sure, “ok for drinks and dessert?” Host/guy said “No. Eat full meal only. Go out. Go to bar down there.” And point down the road. What in the world. You just lost maybe 30-50 euros. But ok your choice. Don’t go here. Rude service.

Table for 9, booked with credit card blocked for 20 eur per person. 1 hour waiting for the food, explanation was -restaurant is full. Service is not sufficient, people are overloaded. Food eas really good and delicious

Seated at the perfect spot ❤️ Absolutely loved the foie gras! Staff were attentive and friendly too.

You must have a reservation—no exceptions. If you don’t, look elsewhere. They are very strict about this. Once we were seated and ordered, the food arrived in about two minutes. I honestly don’t know how it could have been prepared that quickly—it clearly seemed pre-made. The food was decent, but nothing special. We ordered the small raw beef tartare, which was enormous. I could only eat about half of it, and even that was a struggle. There was very little seasoning, so it was essentially just a large portion of plain raw beef. I’m not sure how anyone is expected to eat that much at once. We also tried the pork cordon bleu, which was tough. After trying pork versions at multiple restaurants and being disappointed, I think cordon bleu is better left to chicken. Overall, it wasn’t for me, and I wouldn’t return.

Sadly, the weather was too cold, because I would have loved to have sat on their terrace. The atmosphere inside I found slightly lacking, but the food was good, especially the meats that came with the choucroute. The menu offers good choices.

Ordered a cordon bleu. It was overcooked and tasted of burned or old oil. The spatzle were not fresh and swimming in oil. I told the waitress that I would prefer a salad and was told she didn't understand. When I asked for it to boxed so I could bring home because my husband would eat it later (because he hates to waste money on food) they did not bring the food back to the table even though they do have containers in the restaurant for takeaway. It was a pretty location so I consider it the price for sitting with a nice view. If you are doubt, order the salad

Don't recommend coming here if you have a choice. We did not because all of the other restaurants in the area were booked up. The food here isn't bad but you pay a pretty hefty price for it. That being said, we are grateful we were able to find a place to eat. Service is super slow (some grace should be given because I think time moves a little slower here). This was partly our fault but we didn't realize we ordered fake escargot. We got a dish with some tough beef and bland sauce. The restaurant interior reminds me of a lodge.

Our hotel recommended this Alsacian restaurant (amongst many others) and we chose it because of its location along Little Venise. Pros: - LOCATION! Such a scenic spot along the canal. Our hotel called at 6pm to help us make an outdoor reservation for 7pm. We saw everyone who tried to walk in for an outdoor table get turned away - the "gourmet coffee" dessert was actually a sampler of mini desserts and was quite tasty! Cons: - I usually don't care about service but service was really, really slow. A simple dinner lasted over 3 hours. I thought for sure I'd have time to explore more before sunset but the meal was so prolonged, we missed this completely. Neutral: - the food was fine... the pork ribs were fatty and the spatzle bland (but eat it with the sauce)

Do NOT go here! Worst customer service ever!!!!! Harassment and rudeness! My mom and I tried to share a lunch here this week. She ordered a full plate and i ordered a beer and large dessert. They said not allowed and that we each had to order an appetizer and a plate. It did not say this on the menu, but we said we would leave if that was the case to enjoy a shared meal elsewhere. Note that there was only one other table filled in the whole restaurant, so it wasn't like they needed the table. Around this time, they brought my beer and said I would need to pay for it, even though we couldn't sit at table and I hadn't touched it. I refused because they were so rude and I didn't get to drink it. They tried to block us in the restaurant forcefully with two men, a very large and angry one grabbing my mom by the shoulders saying he was calling the police as I was trying to get outside. We told him to go ahead, we were the ones refused service and being assaulted and were leaving as they asked. My mom had to yell three times to tell him to take his hands off of her! Only when people on the street started staring at my mom yelling did he finally let go! Insanity!!! Worst of the worst! If I weren't a foreign tourist on a tight schedule, I would have filed a police report myself.

I reserved here as upon walking by the night before it was paced with no space for even 2 people. The reviews were good and it was within walking distance of my hotel. We were taken to a table on the water so I felt like I already lucked out with a great seat, great view and I chose something that sounded delicious. Veal served with spaetzle on the side with a mushroom cream sauce. What I got looked beautiful, the taste, eh. Spaetzle was blah, sauce was OK and the meat, like leather. Very disappointing. I wont go back for sure. Servers were very nice and service was good. Pinot noir, fantastic, local.

As all 3 restaurants I had shortlisted for dinner were fully booked we randomly chose this place close to Little Venice. The main course of veal cutlet with Spatzles was nicely cooked, above average. My friend chose a local speciality consisting of Calf's head, I declined to try any but was informed that the dish was bland. We skipped dessert as the dishes did not sound tempting. Service was efficient.

Probably my favorite restaurant while visiting Colmar. The drinks were nice, the food (I had a pig knuckle) was fresh and delicious. And if you make a reservation, you could sit out on their terrace overlooking the river. Very quaint and pretty. Even the teenagers liked their food and that's saying a lot given our fast food generation.

Recommended to us by a local friend who says they have amazing meats, my husband and I went. The first time my husband and I tried going here were "ferme" but we went back later that night when they were open for dinner. Colmar in general is not serving any type of food between 2-7pm. Accept this and be happy. For 42euros we enjoyed a shared a dinner of prime rib, sautéed vegetables, and great fries. The plover and champignon sauces the steak was served with perfectly accented the delicious steak. I went safe and ordered it medium even though we like steak medium rare and it was still super tender and juicy. If we ever go back again, we'll order it medium rare. The view of the canal at night from the terrace was magical and luck For us, bug and smoke free. I love that coffee and tea come with mini cones of chantille cream and yummy cookies. The tarte au jour was huge and delicious- boisonberry pie topped with a generous meringue and three huge dollops of homemade whipped cream on the side. Best dessert of our trip. The staff was friendly, attentive, and let us speak French. The dinner was epic!

Don't mind the low reviews. It can be tough to find a place open if your trying to eat at a time other than 10-14hr or 19-22hr. But to rate a great brasserie based on that is idiotic. Once you get used to the towns meal hours, you can better time your stay to avoid the infamous "Ferme!" my wife and I received during our first day looking for food. My wife and I shared the prime rib dinner special on the terrace. The prime rib was perfectly cooked, along with the sauce and vegetable pairing it was by far the best meal we had in Colmar. We recommend trying to eat on the terrace next to the canal for dinner. Very pretty, as long as your ok with a few tourists taking pictures near you on the bridge by le petite venice. We had a dessert tarte which was fantastic as well. Their meats are fantastic here!

Easily the most tasty and most affordable brasserie I found in Colmar (10-18€ for most dishes) - their strengths are simple and traditional Alsatian dishes....comfort food at its best. Went there twice - great staff, good local wines, nice terrasse right on the little river.

In our travels over the past two weeks, my husband and I have come to expect subpar service but this was just too horrible to ignore. We just stopped in wanting a light breakfast to begin our day of Christmas market shopping. After sitting there for twenty minutes and almost leaving--there was NO ONE ELSE THERE--the server finally came up and asked us what we wanted. No niceties, no apologies. We finished our croissants and coffee and waited, and waited for the server to reappear. Finally had to go find her ourselves to pay.

We've been here several times. It is a good place for a simple meal, a good value and consistency in their meals and service. The waitpersons have been pleasant and helpful. It's a great place for a last minute lunch or dinner especially during the holiday season amidst the Christmas markets.
