Au Vieux Comptoir
Bistro — Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois (Paris)
About
Au Vieux Comptoir is an authentic Parisian bistro located on rue des Lavandières Sainte-Opportune, operating for over two decades. Run by Anne and Cyril Bourlois, this establishment embodies French bistronomic cuisine with classic dishes revisited using quality ingredients and traditional recipes. The menu features iconic dishes: Richelieu pâté en croûte, beef bourguignon in cast iron, veal kidney, and duck confit. The restaurant distinguishes itself through a remarkable wine selection, emphasizing independent winemakers and lesser-known appellations. The rustic atmosphere, with its wooden paneling, wine racks, and vintage posters, creates a warm and convivial ambiance. The summer terrace facing the Saint-Opportune metro is highly sought after. Refined homemade desserts complete the experience.
