"Yves Camdeborde, the founding father of the bistronomy movement, has made L'Avant-Comptoir de la Terre the stuff of Left Bank legend." - Eleanor Aldridge
"The idea behind this quirky standing-room only joint is to load up on the first-class finger food. While the menu does occasionally change, you’ll almost always find the likes of ham croquettes, fried Parmesan cheese puffs, boudin noir macarons, and artichoke and cured ham waffles on offer." - Sara Lieberman, Lindsey Tramuta
"Yves Camdeborde was so busy at his popular Left Bank restaurant, Le Comptoir, that he opted to accommodate the overflow by opening a tiny bar à vin next door. Though it’s standing room only, which is quite common in Paris, the delicious Béarnais-style small plates are worth tempting discomfort. We promise it’s a pleasant experience."

Tony stopped by this small, standing-only bar run by Yves Camdeborde, and had small plates.
