Le comptoir du Relais

"Yves Camdeborde has entrusted the keys of his famous diminutive bistro to chef Bruno Doucet, whom he had already put in charge of La Régalade. Suffice to say, on his watch the place's bistronomy philosophy is scrupulously adhered to. In the tiny restaurant with tightly packed tables or on the heated terrace looking onto the Carrefour de l'Odéon, you can enjoy a menu (served right through from noon to 11pm, which is rare) that embraces local and market cuisine, and absolutely respects quality produce. They do not take reservations." - Michelin Inspector

"At this friendly bistro in the middle of the vibrant Latin Quarter, we opted for the crème caramel, expertly cooked for a firm and yet sumptuous consistency." - The MICHELIN Guide

"If you find yourself with time alone, grab one of the single-occupancy tables outside, which face onto the small square; that said, if you’re saddled with the little ones, this spot is blessedly kid-friendly, too. A bottle of red and the boeuf bourguignon—served with lemon rind, pasta, and pine nuts—is the meal to get here."

Amuse bouche of foie gras; Crab with flying fish eggs and spring vegetables in a foie gras gelee; Blood sausage ravioli (one the best things Tony had all year); Roasted veal with sauteed chanterelles with an almond rhubarb jus; cheese platter. They do a bistro menu during the day with the best oeuf mayonnaise (deviled eggs) on earth.
