About
Au Vieux Comptoir is an authentic Parisian bistro located on rue des Lavandières Sainte-Opportune, run for over two decades by Anne and Cyril Bourlois. Chef Bourlois delivers classic bistro cuisine celebrating French staples: whole veal kidney, pâté en croûte Richelieu, beef bourguignon braised in cast iron, andouillette à la ficelle. The establishment stands out for its timeless rustic décor—checkered tiles, wood paneling, wooden counter, wine racks—and especially its exceptional wine selection blending renowned crus and discoveries, generously served by the glass. A finalist in Paris's 2024 best bistro competition, Au Vieux Comptoir embodies the spirited character of Parisian bistros, with a warm, convivial atmosphere filled with regular patrons' laughter. A summer terrace facing the Saint-Opportune metro completes the experience.
