Le P'tit Comptoir - Le Havre

The group I was with had left a champing reception to walk into town. Luckily I had plenty of the excellent canapés so in truth was not hungry but went with the other 14 members of the party to be sociable. The party was international so had expected the French person to have found a half decent restaurant – how wrong I was!!!I ordered steak and fries. Mine was last to arrive and I think had been cooking from the time we arrived at the restaurant to when it was served. I attempted (it literally bounced off the meat) to cut the steak (with a steak knife) and managed to cut off a very small piece (tried it and it tasted like it had been cooked in old greasy fat (ie there was not taste other than burnt fat). I then tried a chip and it had the same taste – I believe that they had been somehow cooked together as the fries and meat had tasted the same. Not being that hungry and with a new party of colleagues I simply placed my cutlery onto the plate and watched everyone else eat.It was clear that the owner had seen that I had eaten (half a chip and a morsel of the meat) and made absolutely NO effort to find out why – grim is the only way of describing this meal.I cannot believe we ended up here and the food, service and ambiance of this place was a big disappointment – the only redeeming factor was that I was NOT hungry in the first place!!I have included a picture of my meal (just before it was collected by the owner).Avoid

For me nothing fresh, the meat cut with a chainsaw I asked for bearnese there wasn't??? the chocolate foam that was peeling.

A small restaurant that doesn't pay an outdoor mine. A double entrance to protect itself from the wind and cold of the harbour. very good idea, even if they probably lose a table to serve this meal was very simple, and very good...Even if asking for a turkey scalope in Normandy, I expected to have a nice cream sauce, and not a nice sauce to the water (or milk)...And the rice scammer, not too drained...Petit individual bread medium for what I took. There are many choices in this neighborhood, but I was just looking to change cream. my canteen being closed on Tuesday (the big crossroads)

My companion was disappointed by his fish dish: the sauce was full of water, the fish was good but not cooked at the first passage, and the garnish without any research: green beans in cold box and a patate cut in two, cold too.My molds were good on the other hand, the fries also and at a very correct price. Nice and natural service!

Suitable resto, good plate, I recommend good quality sea sauerkraut. this restaurant works with fresh products (fish, crustacean). pleasant and listening staff. I recommend it, so good appetite
