L'avant-comptoir

Posted by pece at 3:52 AM

OK, forget everything we've been chatting about of late...

Today we're going to make couchon cochon/pigs of ourselves.

At L'avant-comptoir
3 Carrefour de l'Odeon
75006 Paris
Metro Odeon.
Open 12h - 23h.
Their specialty is (or it was when I visited last October) crepes.
I ordered La Crepe du Jour - a combo of smoked duck turkey, artichoke, marinated tomatoes, fromage Emantal and rocket.
It's always a good idea to order the special of the day.

Thanks dear PBers for correcting my French!
First the pour of the batter...
Wait for the edges to get lacy.
FYI-I'm standing in the street looking in, enhaling and waiting...
Next throw on the cheese...
Quite a lot of cheese...
Then on go the duck or dinde et les tomats...
L'artichaut a la prochaine...

Enfin le rocquette.

Fold...

And devour!

Miam...miam

The day I was there, the chef Yves Camdeborde had closed off the interior and was having a private tasting party. Latest news in is L'avant-comptoir has been turned into a tapas-wine bar.

What? No more crepes!

Does anyone know if this is so?

Dommage...

BONJOUR L'avant-comptoir!
