Fodor's Review:

Run by legendary bistro chef Yves Camdeborde, this tiny Art Deco hotel restaurant is booked up months in advance for the single dinner sitting that comprises a five-course, EUR 48 set menu of haute-cuisine food. On weekends and before 6 PM during the week a brasserie menu is served and reservations are not accepted, resulting in long lines and brisk service. Start with charcuterie or pâté, then choose from open-faced sandwiches like a smoked salmon croque monsieur, salads, and a handful of hot dishes such as braised beef cheek, roast tuna, and Camdeborde's famed deboned and breaded pig's trotter. Sidewalk tables make for prime people-watching in summer and Le Comptoir also runs a down-to-earth snack shop next door that serves crêpes and sandwiches.
