About

L'Avant-Comptoir du Marché is Paris's temple of pork and carnivorous conviviality. Located beneath the arcades of the Saint-Germain market, Yves Camdeborde's tapas bar serves generous market-driven cuisine in small-plate format: crispy pig's ears, honey-caramelized pork shoulder, duck hearts, country ham croquettes, black pudding ravioli. Long zinc counter, glass-fronted wine cellar, warm and lively atmosphere punctuated by a giant suspended pig sculpture. Affordable wine selection from independent producers. No reservations: diners jostle for counter space, share plates, and debate the world. Homemade desserts (Paris-Brest, baba, rice pudding). An authentic third-half gathering where gastronomy meets celebration.
