Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is an unusual place- the entrance is through the shop and 'museum' and the restaurant is made up of different parts- a 2 floor ship with dance area on the ground floor and private area on the mezzanine, courtyard garden and an inner restaurant....The theme is eclectic.. shabby rather than chic. The servers were friendly. The food was well cooked and presented. It seemed like a good place if you had a larger group, which is usually harder to accommodate in Paris. This place clearly caters for the Insta crowd, ages 25-35, and just seemed to be trying to be cool.More

This was potentially the worst restaurant I have visited in a long time. The food was terrible, service was unnecessarily long. At no point we were asked how the food was despite the waiter coming back to clear three untouched plates. Odd entrance, not clearly...signposted. I would not recommend.More

Went here Feb 2023 with some friends after seeing it's popularity on Insta/tick tok, the place does look great and has a nice atmosphere but afterwards contracted food poisening from eating the Scallops! Was the most ill I've ever been, and am still unwell. If...you want to go for the ‘look’ stick to the single veggie option available on an already very limited menu, or just drinks. Otherwise please avoid all together! Good luckMore

A delightful evening in fascinating fish-themed decor, perfectly cooked fish, great wines, excellent service. Buzzy and cool. Highly recommend.

Visited with a couple of friends on a Sunday, after a close friend recommended us to pay this venue a visit. The general experience to enter the bar/restaurant is outstanding! With lovely art expositions. When we looked into ordering the cocktails, we noticed they had...a classic Old Fashioned, my friend wanted to ask if it would be possible if they could tweak it by making it into a Rum Old Fashioned (just changing ONE ingredient; rum instead of whisky), we were quite surprised by the inflexibility of the staff to make this easy cocktail, since they actually pre-mix all their cocktails in advance. We were quite disappointed to see that since its not like he asked for an over complicated cocktail. Overall the bar area looks stunning, but unfortunately the toilets and indoor smoking area was a very big let down, very poor maintenance and it did not match the concept of the rest of the bar/restaurant area.More

A friend recommended this place to party but seeing that it also had a restaurant we decided to go for dinner first and then go to the bar. At first, everything was fine, the staff at the entrance was very attentive and the waiter who...attended to us at the normal table was fine. We ordered some cocktails and the truth is that they didn't seem from another world, but the food was terrible... Tasteless, and poorly cooked, the shrimp dish had no flavor and the ceviche and the Crispy roll were very ugly... so much so We didn't even finish our plates. We decided to continue with the party plan and went to the bar, the atmosphere was very cool, and the music was good. I went to ask the DJ for a song and they were quite rude, they treated me badly and one of the DJ's companions took me by the arm!! to tell me that he couldn't be there, he didn't have to touch me or be so rude since we just wanted to know if the DJ had a song: he would have told me I don't have it, and that's it... I went back down to my friends and we finished the party. But at the exit in the locker room area, the boy who touched me by the arm kept saying things and treating us badly... a very bad experience for a group of women who just wanted to spend a pleasant moment with their friends... Conclusion: They have good music and good cocktails. Don't go eat. Don't ask the DJ for music. Don't ask for good attention.More

I was a solo American travel who speaks a little French. The bar allowed me in at night for the evening shift and accommodated me well! I loved the starter I had but especially loved the homemade red bissap cocktails. They also encouraged me to...explore the surroundings and each of the rooms, which is a huge draw for me. I love immersive, speakeasy-type of restaurants, and going through a "private collection" into the back room with the ship, with the proper set design around, was magical.More

This is an interesting bar that serves good cocktails. Food should be avoided though. Best go here for drinks as it is clearly meant for that purpose. It has a pirates of the Caribbean vibe, but then for adults.

We went on a Saturday afternoon for a chilled out hang. There was a really fantastic live band playing, the decor was fabulous, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet lively. Some kiddos running around so those are obviously allowed. Lots of nooks and crannies to...settle into. The drinks skewed a little sugary it seemed so I stuck to Aperol spritzes. Walked around the area a little afterwards and there were plenty of good options nearby. Friendly staff as well!More

We had an amazing time at the Le Comptoir at the New Years. Although we had to wait in the line for about an hour, since we did not book in advance, but the ambience, the people, the overall mood inside more than made up...for it. Perfect place if you want to mingle and brush shoulders with the Parisian crowd, having a great time with 4 different bars serving drinks, dance floors and overall a truly eclectic experience. Paid about 30 Euros for entrance, which is 20 if you book in advance and includes a drink.More

It is a place you should definitely see if you are interested in experiencing alternative interiors. I love how simple and shabby are combined with richness of imagination. It has lovely details to be discovered in every corner and it can boast with clever use...of space. Good wine too! It’s hard to get in in the evenings but you should go in the daytime then!More

I love its idea of a secret garden - to get into the bar, you will walk into a closed, private alley and then you enter an ancient industrial loft decorated with Caribbean-themed pirate relics, complete with a sunken-shipwrecklike bar and its tropical jungle. The...Planteur cocktail as well as Cuba Suave and Rhum-Gingembre were absolutely delicious. The only thing I kind of dislike is the way you have to queue (like about 15-20 mins depending on how many people are there at the same time) to get your drinks instead of a waiter getting your orders - apparently it also only accepts cash (CMIIW) - but well, the ambiance and the drinks kind of make up for it. Price-wise a bit expensive but it’s Paris, you gotta cover the rent and manpower. The toilets are also veeery dirty and extremely smelly, maybe they should do something about it. Will be back whenever I’m around the corner only but won’t especially make a turn to go there.More
