  • Technically well prepared food, but very average flavours and questionable plating. Le Grand Comptoir is an old-school French bistro, complete with older Frenchmen quietly chatting at the bar/back of the restaurant. The ambiance is casual and almost lethargic compared to the hustle and bustle of lunchtime Square Phillips. With Il Focalaio's fully packed terrasse next door, Le GC looked rather dead. Yet the service was attentive and food came fast. We ordered the Atlantic salmon, special of the day (pork ballotine), smoked salmon salad and veal sweetbreads. All dishes came with the soupe du jour, which was bell pepper potage. The soup was good, but quite peppery. The main courses were ordinary, with good ingredients, but underworked flavours. Side veggies were simply steamed, adding nothing to the dish. The rice was desperately bland. The portion of sweetbreads was huge, and with nothing to alleviate the richness of the fat, it was difficult to finish. The pork ballotine was well prepared, with the pleasant acidity of red fruits in the meat. But the rest of the plate (2/3 of it) was an uninspired layer of greens. The salad was actually the better half of the meal, with a generous portion of smoked salmon. Overall underwhelming experience, not really worthwhile. Some details in the service could easily be improved. E.g. using plated butter instead of pre-packed Saputo butter cups, or actually thinking of what side dishes could best complement each main course.
