An A-okay option for a decently priced gourmet lunch (there are often 2 or 3 course meals for 15 or 20 quid). This would not be my first stop for french food in London, but if you join the mailing list there are always promotions or deals being run by the Comptoir family that makes this an even more affordable option. I've made the mistake of coming here without drinking - in the future i'll be sure to make that part of the lunch date as they have an extensive wine menu. The space is small but comfortable and if you're in the mood for gluten, definitely get a bread basket as all the fresh baked breads are truly delightful.
Be the first to ReplyI would give 3.
5 stars but am rounding up. Food was overall good. We had slow cooked egg with chorizo for starter, then duck magret for main. Everything was tasty, though I felt it lacked a differentiating factor. Nothing to call as "this place's defining specialty."Service was very good. Staff members were friendly and prompt, although things got quite busy toward the end.Ambience was minimalist yet stylish. High ceiling but a touch of that warehouse feel. Perhaps, I will return to give some of its other dishes a try.
Be the first to ReplyComptoir Gascon was featured as having an excellent burger
Comptoir Gascon was featured as having an excellent burger that's a bit off the beaten track. As a rustic French restaurant, CG is indeed excellent with a superb cassoulet and delicious garlicky snails - just what you want when you fancy a culinary trip across the Channel without actually getting on the Eurostar. However, as a burger joint I think CG has a long way to go to unseat the current ruling grillmasters. It's a different burger, to be fair, with CG's being made from duck as opposed to the traditional beef, but still falls short on common elements. And it's not cheap either.The burger isn't bad, but it's not that good either. The patty was made of minced duck and it's reasonably sized and nicely seared. However, I've always found the joy of duck being in the thin layer of fat and crispy skin you'd usually get in a roast duck - something obviously missing here. The bun looked like it may have had a bit of the brioche in it, but after being toasted to within an inch of its life the bun was too dry to really work. A salad of mixed greens constituted the topping with a spoonful of red onion chutney added a touch of acidity. On its own, I'd be keen on the salad and chutney but it wasn't enough on its own. The burger really needed some cheese or a sauce or really anything to tie it all together. If you go for the Deluxe, you also get a thick slab of foie gras which definitely up the ante. Up to you if you think it's worth the extra £5 though - they do make a mean foie gras here.Overall, I found the burger decent but nothing to write home about (yes, the irony hasn't escaped me). I also tried the signature "burger" which is in essence a truffle and foie gras slider (the foie gras is the patty) which was rich and decadent and a pretty good way to spoil yourself. That's worth a punt even if it throws the training diet all out of whack.That being said, the cassoulet was spectacular and something I'd eagerly go back to have again. Indeed, the rest of the menu is spot on with our chicory, blue cheese, and walnut salad being demolished rapidly and the snails giving rise to a mad scramble. The "piggy treats" starter is a selection of all things pork and definitely worth getting although you'll also want to order some bread which unfortunately does not come free.The wine list is extensive (as one would expect) but surprisingly has options for less that £20. And even more surprising, those options are quite tasty with our chosen bubbles and bottle of red clocking in at around £18 each.
Be the first to ReplyA bit disappointed, but I'd give them a second chance.
The restaurant itself is lovely- has a rustic, cozy interior and warm lighting. They sell some interesting French products, too. I met with a group of 6 others and it was quiet enough to hear each other speak- always a plus! The food....we started with piggy treats and duck neck. Both delicious. But we really came for the deluxe duck burger, topped with foie gras. And that was just not that great. The bun was dry and truthfully all wrong for the burger. A brioche bun would have been more suitable. Also, we all thought it was just missing something- maybe cheese or a sauce? The duck burger wasn't super "ducky", either, and looked like a normal beef burger (I guess I was expecting shredded duck or something). The fries were okay. The salads were ok. Our order was a bit messed up, but the waiters gracefully fixed their mistakes and didn't charge for the food they wrongly brought out. Give it a try if it's convenient, but don't get the burger.
Be the first to ReplyI quite like the ambiance of this place, very cozy and warm.
The service was impeccable too. I am a big fan of french food and was super excited about this restaurant. I was enticed by their concise yet delicious sounding menu and the fact that it wasn't too expensive either. I was looking forward to having their foie gras which I think is very reasonably priced. For starters I had 'Foie gras du Comptoir en terrine' and the rabbit for main course. I must admit the Foie gras didn't go down quite well with me, I was struggling to eat it. The rabbit on other hand was the best rabbit I have had in a restaurant. I was quite disappointed by the Foie gras and to make matters I got really sick after getting home. I am not sure if it was the food or something else but it did mar the overall experience.
Be the first to ReplySuperb! I'm not really a French food fan.
Well actually, I'll eat (mostly) anything, but it's more that French food is not on my top 5 list of go-to foods / restaurants. In fact it's probably not on my top 10 list!However that said I very much enjoyed Comptoir Gascon's offerings. We went for the lunch special which is very reasonable at £14.50 for two courses. I thought "as I'm here, lets go a little crazy!" I started with the pig's trotter cake and tartare sauce. Of course it wasn't like eating a knuckle sandwich, nor was it like eating toe nails (as one would imagine). I'm not actually sure which part of it had the pigs feet in it because it was more like a cross between a hash brown and a potato rosti. Come to think of it, perhaps it was more like a potato cake. Not withstanding, it was surprisingly very tasty and I'm always impressed when dishes are seasoned well. I know that might sound a little odd, but I believe getting seasoning right is key - salt and pepper on a dining table (generally) should be redundant, but I appreciate people have different tastes too.So my first try of pig feet cake was a score, and to follow in the "dirty food" theme I had going on, I opted for the mussels marinières and French fries to follow. Also very good and another score. If I were in the area, I would definitely go back, and I would also give it a thumbs up if anybody wanted to take me there for lunch. Anyone? Anyone? Fine, I'll just cry wee wee wee, all the way home.
Be the first to ReplyUnbeknownst to me, I had been to this restaurant before I
Unbeknownst to me, I had been to this restaurant before I came here to dine. Once upon a time, we were wandering around this area, and saw that they sold foie gras to go, so we picked some up to take home to have for part of a nice meal later that night.Flash forward some amount of time, and my wonderful friend and co-worker was planning her leaving do to go back to France. As a French person (and based on recommendations from two separate people) she chose a lovely French meal at Comptor Gascon. They were quite willing to deal with our ridiculously large group of 18 (which unfortunately shrank to 13 day of, but they were still awesome about it) even though it's not the largest of places. Of course we had to pre-order, but we're used to that.The restaurant itself is quite cozy. It's reminiscent of those rustic French restaurants that I grew to love during my visit to Saint-Emilion. The waitstaff were very friendly and willing to deal with our indecisiveness about drinks. The wine menu has an interesting selection with varying price ranges from inexpensive to quite expensive. There were a variety of starters around the table. I had the Piggy Treats. I'm often drawn toward names that sound interesting but are completely ambiguous about what you're getting. I at least knew it was likely to be pork. And it was. It was similar to a charchuterie plate with different sliced meats, a bit of head cheese, and some pate. Very delicious! The other half had the duck hearts which were also tasty. The duck rillettes looked terrific as well.For my main I had the cassoulet. I always wanted to try it, but never had the opportunity. Oh my it was tasty (and rich). Rich buttery beans with sausage and duck meat. I was incredibly happy. I also had some of the duck fat chips which were great as well. The other half had the duck burger deluxe. There's nothing like a rich burger with a slab of foie gras on top to really make a good meal.Desserts were good as well. The other half had cheese (as he does), and I had the fondant with raspberry sorbet. The fondant was rich and oozing with chocolate. The sorbet added a nice sharpness that contrasted well with the chocolate. We both had the red dessert wine. We liked it so well, we bought a bottle to take home.Speaking of which, the restaurant also sells lots of bottles of wine to take home, as well as other delicious goods (as mentioned with the foie gras at the beginning). The food was also quite reasonably priced for the quality of food you get!I'm definitely a fan of this place, and would go back here for any event whether it is a big group event or a small intimate evening.

Fantastic, authentic French food, great wine list (with some good value in there) and wonderful attentive service. Overall, phenomenal experience without a phenomenal price tag.
Be the first to ReplyI thought Comptoir Gascon was going to be one of those tiny
I thought Comptoir Gascon was going to be one of those tiny hole-in-the-wall places so I was pleasantly surprised by its spacious interior. I was less pleasantly surprised by the somewhat snooty waitress. I really don't like it when you go to a restaurant and feel you are being judged for what you are/are not ordering, and/or pressured into ordering extra courses, side dishes etc. This was happening explicitly, although she toned it down after a while, perhaps she noticed everyone thought it was kind of funny.Or maybe she just gave up, out of 10 people, 9 ordered the duck burger or duck burger deluxe. I struck out with the rabbit and was pleased with my choice - it was well cooked with a flavourful sauce although the accompanying potatoes maybe were a bit overdone. I tried a bit of the duck burger too and it seemed good. The deluxe version has extra liver on top. This restaurant is big on offal.My overall impression was good, refreshingly interesting menu, serious about their meat and relatively reasonably priced. Just need to have that server take herself a mite less seriously and they are golden. Nearly forgot to mention desserts - fondant was ok, creme brulee looked really good. Overall those didn't seem much to write home about. I would have been more interested in the starters - they had great specials as well as some nice choices on the menu. I'd definitely return to try more.

It's really a beautiful little restaurant with a good atmosphere. I went there to taste their duck burger and I wasn't disappointed. It is difficult to compare this burger to other burgers, because, well, it's just different, it's duck. I really liked it. I recently read that their french fries should be one of the best in London. They are delicious, yes, the portion is big, yes, but I like the crunchier kind of fries much more. For my taste, the fries were too soft and slightly too greasy. But probably still better than what you get at most other places.What surprised me, if you go there for burger and chips, it's quite a cheap eat for what you get, compared to other restaurants!
