"Among the standouts are oxtail canapés with horseradish cream."

Wendy Lyn

"From 12 noon to midnight, the place is packed with folks ordering Yves’ fantastic finger foods from the drop-down ceiling menu and chalkboard daily specials such as seared foie gras red pepper skewers."

Bérengère Perrocheau

"The ham is thick and the flavor is such that you swear you'll never buy in the supermarket again. Tucked in the best baguette tasted for this test, the bread is covered with a layer of butter significant for all lovers of Bordier butter."

François-Régis Gaudry

"Today, patties and ham and butter still prance in the hit parade as the best in the city."

Colette Monsat

"Two slices of artisanal ham, a bread-crumb crust of perfect alchemy, generously coated butter of good quality: almost a meal in itself!"

"Yves Camdeborde serves updated, bite-size French classics—pig’s-foot croquettes, oxtail canapés with horseradish cream—in a tiny, chairless hors d’oeuvres bar. Charcuterie this good is worth standing for."

Myriam Thibault

"Let's put it that way: if you only had one day in Paris, I'd advise you to go to L'Avant-Comptoir. It's THAT good, and inexpensive, and iconically French. They have a fantastic selection of regional charcuterie and 'hors d'oeuvre' - dazzling patrons (lots of regulars, lots of chefs around too) with a French version of Spanish tapas. Foie gras skewers - you name it."

Wen Yang Lee

"My fancy pants attempt at L'Avant Comptoir before dessert was a Foie Gras Meringue with Citrus Jam. Creamy, fragrant and a sweet altogether in one bite. What can I say? Wow."

Susy Bando

"Foie gras macaron could have been a cool concept gone wrong, but it turned out to be a great combination of 2 of my favourite things!"

Emerald Bond

"You go there for the unforgettable foie gras."
