Comptoir Gascon

very good - nice staff and a wonderful cassoulet

As usual the food was very good as was the service. Our only regret is that the battered squid has not appeared on the menu for some time now.

Excellent as usual.

A delightful restaurant with absolutely excellent & charming service, plus the most wonderful cassoulet I’ve had outside of France! Will definitely be returning ??

Great ambience. Attentive service, cassoulet (portions could be bigger?).

Wine delicious (Gascogne red) moderately pricing.

This is a dependably good restaurant where food Is of the highest quality and service is welcoming.

We've had several good meals here, but this wasn't one. The special Gascon dinner started well, with a tiny bowl of green soup and some lovely sardines. But the pork had been cooked in a water bath so was soft and mushy and it had been either sprayed with something or put in a suffocating smoker - all we could taste was smoke and ashes so we sent it back. The nice waiter took it off the bill, but we continued to taste it for ages after. Have they changed I wonder?

Generally good however service was quite slow despite there not being very many diners. The rosé and white wine were at room temperature - ice cubes were provided however this dilutes and changes the taste of the wine so would it not be simpler to chill properly in the first place. We had to ask what the Plat du Jour was instead of being advised on arrival.

The dinner was very good and the atmosphere pleasant, on the simple side, without undue paraphinelia. The wine recommendation was excellent, and so was the main dish (beef fillet). The best feature: not noisy, could easily have a conversation.

I really enjoy going to Comptoir Gascon - the food is lovely, the service is good and the restaurant itself has an air of relaxation about it (even when it's busy).
