Comptoir Sur Mer | Experience the Freshest Seafood in Paris

Overview

Comptoir Sur Mer is a refined seafood restaurant nestled in the lively 10th arrondissement of Paris, at 53 Rue de Lancry. This intimate locale offers a focused celebration of the sea’s freshest offerings, blending traditional French techniques with a modern touch that highlights natural flavors.

The menu is a curated showcase of exquisite shellfish and fish—oysters stand out as a signature, praised for their creamy texture and balanced brininess, often paired with a nuanced seafood sauce reminiscent of Southeast Asian influences. Beyond oysters, the menu dazzles with refined dishes such as trout sashimi, delicate langoustines from Scotland gently steamed and paired with lobster oil, and ceviche featuring vibrant, fresh fish enlivened by subtle heat and vegetal accompaniments.

Wine selections complement the seafood beautifully, leaning towards natural and orange wines that enhance rather than overpower the fresh flavors on the plate. This synergy between sea and vine enriches the dining experience, elevating each dish.

The space itself is cozy, fostering an intimate atmosphere ideal for guests who appreciate nuanced culinary experiences in a more private setting. Given its size and growing reputation, securing a reservation is recommended to fully enjoy the calm and attentive service that Comptoir Sur Mer delivers.

Comptoir Sur Mer targets those who seek authenticity in seafood—whether locals or travelers craving the pure, clean taste of the ocean in its most elegant form. It stands as a beacon for connoisseurs who respect quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation, offering an honest yet sophisticated encounter with marine cuisine in the heart of Paris.

I ordered the 6xOysters for 2 times as they were so nice, creamy and tasty. They came with the seafood sauce, which was similar taste with Thai seafood sauce. Apart from oysters, other menus were nice! Restaurant is a bit small, you may need to make a reservation!

Some of the freshest seafood in Paris ! (maybe even a bit too much for my taste) If you’re craving some seafood in its raw form that’s the perfect place to go. All the dishes were made so the taste stays true to the ingredients.

The food, the service and the ambience were all perfect. It’s a more intimate dining experience, so make reservations but you will not be disappointed. Some of the freshest and best tasting seafood of my life. I was literally battling a stomach bug and risked it just because it smelled so good.

Lovely seafood restaurant near Republique. The oysters and sea urchin were excellent. The wine was good but leans mostly on the natural / orange style for those hoping for more traditional styles.

Just a lovely little place with superb seafood and a delicious selection of wines, or at least the couple of bottles of champagne were so good. The service was also great! We will return when next time in Paris!

My wife and I had an amazing meal at Sur Mer; it was the best one during our two week trip to France! The restaurant and atmosphere were cozy and comfortable, our server was really friendly and helpful. The menu was in French and English, featuring numerous seafood and fish small plates. We had oysters to start that were sublime, followed by four dishes. The stand outs were the lobster in shrimp bisque and monkfish ceviche. House wine was delicious; the whole meal was very good value for money. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Probably one of the best fish restaurants in Paris. The restaurant is really cosy, good selection of organic wines and food. Staff really helpful and the chefs were just amazing. They serve the food one dish at the time so you have plenty of time to enjoy the atmosphere and food. Everything was cooked to perfection. I recommend this place and I will come back for sure!

If you like good seafood, small but intimate space & best service, nothing comes close to Comptoir Sur Mer in Paris. Mr Ibrahim on cooking & Ms Christine on the floor, were the best. Excellent experience. It's small space, so you have to wait sometime for your table. All worth the experience. Enjoy.
