Le Comptior

So it used to be that l atelier was the consolidation price for those who couldn't go to France, now that robuchon has passed away its more of a place to celebrate one of the giants of the french cuisine. Expect the best of his food, made by an expert staff, not cheap but the quality is superb as is the tastes.

The food (from the set lunch menu) was excellent – generous, beautifully presented and with lovely flavours. The by-the-glass wine selection was well chosen and reasonably priced and the wine service from the young lady sommelier was personable and helpful. The general service was, however, somewhat erratic and not as polished as it should have been. We waited almost 30 minutes for our desserts and, on enquiry, were given an explanations for this, which was patently untrue. Then two sets of the deserts were sent out. The restaurant manager acknowledged that there had been a problem but we did not receive a proper apology for this, either when we were waiting or when we pointed it out.

Went there with my friend for lunch in december and we love the ambience (+ pretty restroom) Had a 2 course meal starting off with the sea bream carpaccio, very refreshing and well balanced with the lime. Followed by the quail stuffed with foie gras with mash, the meat is so tender, skin is perfectly seared, the sauce goes nice with the mash. Quite generous amount for the bread basket, and the waitress even asked if we wanted refills! Would definitely recommend this restaurant especially for birthday celebrations :)

We had a wonderful lunch to celebrate our Anniversary. The Set Lunch Menu is excellent value for money: the bread basket was fantastic, and generous in content; and the food artfully presented, perfectly cooked, and tasty - we even had a small bowl of the famous JR mash potato! The petit fours were delicious, and the espresso coffee, excellent. A very convivial atmosphere, friendly staff and an elegantly understated presentation. Would definitely repeat the experience, no hesitation!

I recently dined at le comptoir and I was thoroughly impressed by the food and service. the staff went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was enjoyable, with friendly and attentive service throughout the meal. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a delicious meal and an excellent dining experience.
