A stone’s throw from the Champ-de-Mars and the Eiffel Tower, the Comptoir de la Traboule offers delicious bistronomic dishes and intoxicating vintages.
If La Traboule already had conquered our heartsthe verdict is final: it is the same for its little brother (yet much bigger than her!), Le Comptoir de la Traboule, charming address in the 7th arrondissement which differentiates itself gracefully from the other tables in the area.
Because if the Champ-de-Mars district and the tour Eiffel is renowned for its addresses aimed at well-stocked wallets, Le Comptoir de la Traboule acts as a UFO in the landscape, with lunch packages accessible to say the least.
At the same time restaurant and wine bar, the address offers pleasure and delight for €22 for two plates, €28 for three plates at lunch, to choose from two starters, two main courses and two desserts on the slate. And the kitchen is there belle, free of the collarbistronomic but without fuss.
Au counter (the famous one which gives its name to the place), on the high tables or on the large terrace which is displayed when the sun is there, the Chef Jun Cho twirls the well-felt platesserved with enthusiasm by a team man.
Starting with a must-taste : the egg (6€), real experiential and experimental work which consists of a spoonful of Sichuan pepper – known to anesthetize the taste buds – which is followed by a smoked haddock mousse and a candied egg yolk, contained in a hollowed-out egg shell.
The rest is of the same ilk: veal with tuna sauce neat (14€), creamy Jerusalem artichoke soupperfect egg and Jerusalem artichoke chips (12€), gnocchi enhanced with sorrel velouté and smoked Greek yogurt (€14), beef fillet tataki topped with a Crying Tiger sauce (€17), and even these peachescertainly the last of the season, which are dipped in a verbena and Timut berry syrup (€6).
The other aspect of Traboule counterthat is of course wine cellarplaced at the back of the counter and which displays all its most beautiful and most sophisticated beverages in full view.
Handpicked, the vintages come from the four corners of France, with prices more or less high depending on their region of origin and their appellation, as well as a handful of wines by the glass on the slate which vary depending on the day.
At the instance of La Traboulethe Traboule counter is guided by a real want to please, and this is undeniably felt on the plate and in the glasses. A very good address to keep on hand.
