Le Grand Comptoir — Restaurant in Orlando

I am not often a complainer, in fact, I usually don’t write things like this…but I feel like people should know what they’re getting into when it comes to airport food. There’s so many layers of wrong here. The bartender working was so sweet after she noticed I had been sitting for 10 minutes, she explained that you had to order through the QR code. Cool. I ordered, even though the website didn’t give an option to add an egg to avocado toast….even though it’s on the menu and on the website. 10 more minutes go by, she explains I have to go get my own coffee at the coffee bar and my bottle of water from the cooler. Cool. I go up to get coffee…the stirrers are compostable straws that melt in hot coffee. Cool. 15 more minutes for food…the stuff is kind of bland. Where’s the salt and pepper? Hmm. Not on the table and no server to ask for it. Make sure you tip! I know it’s not their fault but…dang. It’s just a weird set up to me.

I’ll throw some positives in here because I really don’t like being this type of reviewer. The coffee is so lovely hot and not at all like lukewarm airport coffee. The avocado I got on my sandwich was so fresh and it was a generous portion. The girls working were so sweet and kind and calm. Even the lady at the counter who I didn’t even interact with was patient while refilling and stocking the coffee bar, explaining...

Despite the slightly bad reviews, I actually enjoyed this place. I got the avocado toast and a Starbucks Frappuccino, while my dad got a coffee. By the way, if you get a coffee here, you have to make it on your own (premade coffee dispenser, but the sugar and cream is all up to you). The food was pretty expensive, but what about that is unexpected given we're at the airport?

Anyways, the toast was actually pretty good and has a natural taste with a pinch of flavor with the pepper kicking in as an aftertaste. It might be a bit much for some, given how my lips were a bit tingly after I ate it, but as a quick bite to eat, it'll do.

Again, despite the reviews saying the service was bad, I think it was pretty good! The lady who took our order was extremely kind, and our order came out within the 10 - 15-minute window we were told it would. It might be a case by case basis, but for our trip, it was pretty good!

The restaurant looks very clean and well lit, minus a blinking light at the moment. There's a nice view of the airport from the huge window in the dining area, and there's a functional TV (there's 2 tvs, but one is broken).

TL;DR: Pretty good for what it is, but it is a bit overpriced and could use a little TLC in the...

3 times ate there before my flights. 2 times got sick. Last time about a week aho I ordered breakfast they almost ruined my vacation. The eggs were so do bad i had inly 2 bites and I asked my girlfriend to taste them she almost threw up. We send the whole breakfast back told the. We don’t want them and we didn’t want the money back (they did refund us) Food is really bad and not cheap at all. We went to the flight after there and i got so sick in the plane I thought i was going to passed out. They really need to hire different chef or get better suppliers or better quality food. I got really sick in Colombia. The 2 bites of eggs i ate from this place were bas really bad something was really off with those eggs I almost finished in the hospital, I gave this place 3 chances but this is my last. Never gonna be back...
