Le Comptoir - San Rafael (CA)

5 /5 Lizzie Spier: Merci Beaucoup, Stefan and Company! Delicious French cuisine! We got the pre fixe menu ($70/pp) and had no regrets! Would recommend for the adventurous eaters who appreciate high quality eats. Flavors had variety and depth, while honoring local in-season produce. Could tell with each bite that the quality of ingredients were some of the best. Wine bottle selection is “pick your own” from the shop next door, which offers a fun, interactive experience. Highly recommend. Can’t believe we waited this long! Great for a special occasion. Staff are playful and fun - with that classic French hospitality. Bon Appetit!

5 /5 Josh Pepper: We had a wonderful evening at Le Comptoir! It feels like you’re dining in someone’s home — cozy, personal, and full of warmth. The owners recited the menu from memory, shared stories, and made us feel like old friends. The food was exquisite — beautifully prepared and full of flavor. We went once on a casual Thursday evening and again for my birthday, and it was perfect for both. It’s rare to find a place that’s both relaxed and refined, that has high standards without any stuffiness. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Gary Meyer: A casual French restaurant with seriously good food. Tonight I was with a party and from the starters through salmon, melt-in-your mouth pork loin and chicken surrounded by small potatoes and then a fruit galette and ice cream in a chocolate topped puff pastry, it couldn’t have been better. I was so busy talking and eating I only took a photo at the start. And the acoustics were surprisingly good so we could hear each other.

4 /5 Steve Ramsey: Very tasty French food in a relaxed, casual, yet contemporary atmosphere. Attentive, professional service. I ordered the salmon which was delicious.

4 /5 Liza Ryan: The food was delicious, and the house wine was good, but we didn’t appreciate the lack of a paper menu. The proprietor rattles off the dishes so quickly in his lovely accent, it’s hard to even catch words, let alone decide what to eat. The cost was quite high also. But worth it for the excellent cuisine.
