Chez Ernest - Comptoir de curiosités

Recensioni
Went there on a Tuesday for their swing night, and the vibes were amazing! The atmosphere was really fun and welcoming. I also tried their espresso martini, and it was really good. Definitely a great spot if you're looking for a nice evening out!
Chez Ernest – Comptoir de curiosités feels like the kind of place people hope to stumble upon and then quietly start recommending only to those they actually like. The vibe is warm, lively, and full of character without ever feeling forced. Between the quirky, curiosity-cabinet decor, the glowing yellow walls, the chandeliers, and all the little oddities scattered around the room, the whole place has a playful soul that makes sitting there a pleasure in itself. What really elevates it, though, is the human side. The staff were fantastic—welcoming, relaxed, efficient, and clearly part of what gives Ernest its charm. You feel looked after without being rushed, which suits the place perfectly. And then there is one detail that deserves open praise: the menu actually shows prices with taxes included. That should not feel revolutionary, but it does. It is such a refreshing, honest touch to know exactly what you are paying before the bill lands. More places should do this. The food and drink held up beautifully. We had their version of a Niçoise salad and the Viking salad, and both were fresh, satisfying, and tied together by a very good Dijon-balsamic vinaigrette that gave them real personality. The beer selection was also fun, varied, and genuinely enjoyable. Ernest is not just a bar-restaurant. It feels like a place with identity, humour, and taste—rare enough to deserve celebrating. Go there, for a snack or for fun, enjoy your time and TIP THE STAFF
Very cool place, super original. The decor is absolutely stunning. We came in the afternoon for a little dessert, and it was nearly empty. The service was great.
Great place! Went on a random Wednesday night, and it was amazing. The atmosphere was very fun; they had a music trivia night. They usually have different activities every weekday. The staff was super nice and easy-going. The food was delicious!! Highly recommend their « tartinades». Their kitchen stays open until late, which is amazing for a late-night bite with a drink. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I would absolutely recommend it!!
