Classic French restaurant with really good beef bourguignon - tender flaky beef that can still retain its structure with melt in the mouth potatoes and carrots and that thick flavourful sauce. Yummy!! Had Paris Brest for dessert, the hazelnut cream was very good but the choux pastry could be less bready and maybe the portion was a little big, as by the time I reached dessert I was very full! Overall good meal and the two staff are amazing to be in full control of the whole restaurant, keeping customers happy and satisfied! Will be back, love this place and the staff! Thank you

My husband and I had the immense pleasure of enjoying our final meal in Paris at this gem of a restaurant, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The host Anne sparkled with warmth, kindness, and humor. The staff also attended to our needs with care and genuine hospitality.

As for the food—sumptuous doesn’t even begin to describe it. Most of the dishes are traditional cuisine but each is crafted with such artistry. We had pâté en croute and langoustine bisque for starters and beef wellington and veal kidneys for main dishes. Oh my, they were so so very delicious, all perfectly executed and bursting with flavors. The restaurant also had a very extensive array of wines for wine connoisseurs.

It was the ideal way to cap off our time in Paris. If you’re looking for a dining destination that offers simple but at the same time exquisitely prepared food, wonderful and convivial service, and an atmosphere filled with warmth, go to Au Vieux Comptoir and Anne will make sure you are at home! 🤩

Very nice dinner, the food is both traditional and innovative, the service is great (loved the soup served from old milk pots) and friendly, waiters make you feel at home. It’s a little noisy but with a very nice atmosphere.
Highly recommended.
