“ Decent food, good service, and great location. We stopped by Comptoir du Panthéon for early dinner in August 2023 after a walking day in Paris and visiting Panthéon. We saw the restaurant right after we exited Panthéon, it was full of people, which was a good sign, and we went for it. The food turned out to be quite good. Not the best we had in Paris, but good. The service was fast, precise, and attentive. Overall, the restaurant gets a firm 4 stars and we recommend it if you are in the area. Food ordered Smoked Duck Breast Salad - very good French Onion Soup - ok Escargot - my wife liked it Duck Confit - good, though not the best duck confit we tried in this type of restaurants ”
“ Besides the location next to the Pantheon, I loved their grilled cheese and ham sandwich with fries. The Creme Brule for desert was exquisite and all the servings were enough for 2 people! ”
“ Overall okay. Steak was cooked perfectly, and presented well, but lacked seasoning and flavor, as it needed a lot more salt. Steak also has some missing spots on the sear, and was overall pretty tough. There were also some spots of unrendered fat. Fries were great but some were not very crispy, with one not even being fried (Just straight potato!!!). Mashed potatoes were very creamy and the best part of the meal. Wouldn’t recommend the steak, get something else. The staff was very nice and friendly, and all spoke English. ”
“ Good place for France food plus a great location nearby Pantheon. Great view with both Eiffel Tower and Pantheon all together. Nice service and nice atmosphere. Like the salad with goose liver in it. Nice dessert choices. ”
“ Great atmosphere, waiters are very friendly and make the experience much better. The view speaks for itself. Great food and prices appropriate to the quality. ”
