    Consistently fantastic food - the deluxe duck burger (topped with fois gras), piggy treats (pictured) and the award winning chips are all excellent. Highly recommended.

    High quality food of South West France, big on duck and foie gras. Burgers are good, patties use shredded (not ground) duck. House mayonnaise is the best I've had! Nice desserts.

    The piggy treats were a great starter and although not what you'd normally order at a french bistro, the seared cod was excellent! Great wine selection and moderate prices. I'd def go back

    Food and service both exceptional. Always try the specials first from the blackboard. The Christmas menu is really good. I will be coming back here again as soon as I can. A new favourite.

    What a lovely place. Great French bistro food mainly around duck and perfect service. Pay attention to daily suggestions on the wall

    The traditional cassoulet toulousain is delish! And the pimandes (almond coated in chocolate & piment d'espelette) is the cherry on the cake!

    Duck (and foie gras) Burger Deluxe is a must apparently — http://www.burgerac.com/2012/07/comptoir-gascon-duck-burger-deluxe.html

    Decent food. Duck egg starter had layers of flavour but scallop doused with too much pickled veggies. Duck magret was the highlight: tender, not at all gamey. Piperade & smokey greens great with it.

    Very authentic but having said that, nothing special. Food is decent, exactly like being at a middle of the road bistro in southern France. Chips were soggy. Nice service.
