L'Avant Comptoir du Marché

About L'Avant Comptoir du Marché

Standing room at the counter, elbows tight, wine glasses hovering over plates of fat-ribboned charcuterie — this is how you eat near the Saint-Germain market. The space is barely a space at all, more of a controlled stampede of hungry locals and slightly lost visitors all reaching for the same thing. Noisy, a little chaotic, entirely the point. No reservations, so show up before the after-work crush and grab whatever cured meat they're slicing that day.
