Comptoir de crème menu

The idea behind this wine bar where you feel right at home? Share as many small plates as possible and get recommendations for fantastic bottles in a country-style decor with high tables and candles, all curated by Demain Design agency and architect Maurine Maccagno.

Start with an impressive Italian Chardonnay at a great price (7 € per glass, 29 € per bottle) to properly welcome Chef Severino Malerba's playful creations: tarama & tortilla (9 €), three-cheese arancini (9 €), pistachio mortadella (10 €), creamy burrata with tomato sauce (10 €), beef carpaccio with parmesan, pesto, and arugula (14 €)... Among our favorites: roasted eggplant with tahini sauce, pomegranate, and hazelnuts (11 €), a cheeky truffle croque-monsieur (15 €), and patatas bravas with miso mayo (7 €). The ultimate passion is the olive oil chocolate mousse (9 €) to perfectly round off an impeccable evening!

Open Tuesday to Thursday from 6 PM to midnight, and Fridays and Saturdays until 1 AM.

Discover the best wine bars in Paris and a super romantic bistro in the Latin Quarter.
