Café Comptoir Abel
About Café Comptoir Abel
The most authentic bouchon lyonnais in the city — a tiny, packed restaurant in operation since 1928 where the quenelles, andouillette, and tablier de sapeur are cooked exactly as Paul Bocuse decreed. The checked tablecloths, enamel pitchers, and roar of conversation make this the defining Lyon dining experience.
