Chicken salad- outstanding (chicken strips are rather crispy but delicious!)
David B.

I was in Paris for only one night, but I ended up visiting this restaurant three times. The first time was for a quick snack when I arrived. The hotel recommended it and I got amazing service. The food was great. I had a tour I had to get to so I was in a little bit of a rush and they got my meal fast out fast. I ended up ordering a chicken salad and it was absolutely incredible. Take a look at the pic. I came back after my tour to get a coffee and a dessert and they had coffee and a sampler with a desserts which was great. So look at the menu because when I asked if they had a sampler, I was told no but then later the person said hey take a look at this coffee and pastries. She may not have understood what I was initially asking for, but it was great. Came back the next morning for avocado toast. Be sure to ask for the egg to be cooked the way you want it because mine was not cooked all the way and I could not eat half of it. Highly recommend this place all at all.

Duck confit over mashed potatoes
Ricardo R.

Located in a tourist trap area, however the food did not disappoint. The duck and chicken were very juicy and the duck skin was perfectly crisped. The service that we received was probably the best we received in Paris with the exception of the extraordinarily expensive two star restaurants. We asked for a wine recommendation, the waitress asked a couple of questions, and she came back with two different and yet very delicious glasses of wine which were also very inexpensive. I would repeat a visit to this place. .

Smoked Duck Breast Salad
Vadim B.

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

Crispy chix
Gerald S.

Good location right in view of the Pantheon. Sea bass excellent Crispy chicken ok A typical French café with good views and food. I will remember this place anytime I'm in France because of it's location.

Croque Monsieur
Salena C.

They have leeway to charge high prices for mediocre food because they are one of the only close restaurants to the Pantheon. Knowing that we wanted to save our appetite for better food, we split a croque monsieur, which came with a salad and fries, for about 15 euros. It was a-okay, definitely nothing spectacular, but exactly what we expected. They handed me the bill while my husband was in the bathroom (with our credit card in his pocket) and sort of hovered while waiting for me to pay. I explained that he had the CC, and yet they checked in again 30 seconds later before my husband was back from the bathroom, asking if I was ready to pay. It was a little pushy for my taste, and very unlike every other service we received in France. If you can, eat before venturing towards the Pantheon, otherwise save your appetite for afterwards!

My fish dish. If the sauce looks like vomit, because the taste of the dish isn't that much better than vomit
Andrew L.

Warning! Tourist trap! The high ratings came from many years ago and do not reflect the current service of the restaurant. First of all, smoking and eating don't mix yet even if you sit inside, smoking fumes penetrate in because they keep their doors wide open. I asked for water and the server gave me Evian water while charging 4 euros. I could have ordered a glass of wine instead. Service was very slow, as other Yelpers mentioned. The server thought I would only be ordering water and no food. Only after I asked for the food menu then they gave it to me. A long time later, the server gave me complimentary bread AT THE SAME TIME my entree is served. Did I mention the server didn't give me any butter for the bread? Gosh he clearly didn't know the phrase "bread and butter". So either I eat the butter-less bread while my entree dies on the table or I won't eat the bread at all. The fish dish I ordered was bland and underseasoned. But they forgot to complete debone the fish. I ended up having 9 fish bones in my plate (see photo), 3 of which were not small bones at all. So in short, if you think this is French cuisine, then it's something to forget about. The only thing good about it is that it's close to Pantheon, but you should stay away from this restaurant because there's better options around there

Espresso martini

Went to see the Pantheon and stopped for a drink. This French cafe sits in a location where you have the Pantheon to your right and in a far distance to your left is the Eiffel Tower. Cannot beat the view! Service was prompt and friendly. I would recommend stopping in for a drink and the food looked nice as well!

Byris L.

Worst meal I've had in Paris. I read some reviews just now (really wish I saw it earlier... Honestly DO NOT ORDER!!!!) Found this place as it is located just a few walks from Le Panthéon. The exterior and interior looked nice... But that was really it. My friends and I ordered the fillet and it tasted exactly like the picture - bland and tasteless (yes, I know those two words are synonyms). I spent a good hour digging bones out of my bones-with-a-side-of-fish fillet. (I'm serious. The chef forgot to de-bone. I almost choked on my first bite!) That was actually not the worse part however. The service was just horrible. The waitress was rude and not accommodating at all. "Can we have change?" "No" Did not enjoy lunch here. 1/5 is really just for the fact that it was walking distance from Le Panthéon.

Escargot
Ashley J.

I came here two years ago and ate duck confit and it was so delicious I wanted to have it again! If there is any other delicious duck confit I would love to compare it to this locations version because I enjoy this duck confit so much. We also ordered a steak and it was very bland and I would not get that again. The only downside to sitting outside is the constant cigarette smoke you will inhale as you wait for your food along with eating your food.

Courtney H.

After checking out the Pantheon we stopped by here for a glass of wine and a delicious crepe. We were really impressed with the service and we managed to tap into some free wi-fi which coming from the US was difficult for me to find surprisingly. If you are looking for a place to relax, this place was really awesome. As a plus the bathrooms were pristine as well.

Maria M.

Amazing food and amazing service! The food was great and the prices were very good. The wine was also great! They also had an English menu which helped so much. Will definitely go back!

J K.

Nice cafe for breakfast. Good service. Good people watching.

Gina S.

The food was beautifully plated and tasted great. I came with my girls after visiting the Pantheon which is across the street. Great ambience and service.

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

Oh my goodness, what a find! We stopped here for no better reason than our apartment was right…read morearound the corner and we were in the mood for a nice French lunch. Such good luck! I started with the free-range eggs with mayo, and my wife started with the leeks with vinaigrette. The eggs were delicious, but the leeks may have been the best preparation I've ever had in my life. For our main courses, she had the egg muffin, and I had the sausage and mash. Our meal was superb. Whoever is in the kitchen has clearly learned the art of French cuisine well. Service was fantastic, the people-watching (we ate al fresco) was fantastic, and I simply couldn't think of a way to make this a better meal.

Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining. Cheers!

Found the Bistro on Yelp and made reservations for 8:30pm for dinner with my son while we were in…read moreParis on our way to Germany. Just finished a long bike ride to the Eiffel Tower and worked up an appetite. Decided to go straight to the main course. They are known for Au Gratins. My son is not a cheese fan so he opted for the norvigene (smoked salmon in dill lemon and EVOO. I decided to stick with the house specialty; Landais Au Gratin (cream potatoes, duck breast and emmental cheese). The 2 German girls beside me ordered a cider with both their meals so I followed their lead. When in Paris...... Considering the temperature, I almost second-guess myself and ordered something other than their house specialty of au gratin potatoes. In the end, I was very glad I overruled that thought. Brody enjoyed his meal. He just appeared to still be hungry when it was done and a 16 year-old boy that normally has a high caloric intake, I can understand why he wanted a second meal after eating his first! The restaurant in the patio were quite crowded even though we had reservations. They still sat us within five minutes of arrival. Not that five minutes is a long time to wait, but it was still worth the wait as good as the food tasted. We both enjoyed our meals.

THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it.

Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street.

Friday lunch was an absolute beauty…read more The food? Fantastic. The wait times? Let's just say we're in Paris, not a Formula 1 pit lane. We'll leave it at that. We headed to Chez Janou, a Paris institution. I hadn't been in years, but my son insisted we go back because, according to him, they have the best chocolate mousse in Paris. Judging by the lineup, half the city; and every tourist with an Instagram account showed up. Thankfully we had a 2pm reso. Here's the thing, though. Everyone talks about the mousse, but the food deserves just as much attention. I'd also forgotten how much I love the 3rd arrondissement. Wander a few minutes from the restaurant and you'll find beautiful art galleries, a gorgeous little park, and some of the best boutique shopping in Paris. It's one of those neighbourhoods where you accidentally walk 15,000 steps without realizing it. Now, here's your game plan. Start with the escargots or the gambas to share. For your main, order the farci provençal or the foie de veau. The farci is like a French version of a stuffed pepper: yummy comfort food with a southern coast twist. As for the foie de veau... I actually ordered it by mistake. I thought I was getting regular veal. Out came veal liver. Best mistake of the day. I love liver. My mom makes an incredible liver and onions, so I'm a tough judge. This was outstanding. Rich, buttery, perfectly cooked and perfectly salted. It was so good I immediately texted my mom and told her she's coming here the next time she's in Paris. Drum roll, please... The chocolate mousse. Was it worth all the hype? Yep. There are no fancy swirls or little artistic desserts here. A server simply walks over carrying what looks like a white industrial-sized bowl of chocolate mousse and casually drops a mountain of it onto your plate. Everyone grabs a spoon and starts digging in. It's wonderfully French. Simple. Unpretentious. Ridiculously good. So yes, Chez Janou lives up to the hype. But don't just come for the mousse. Come for the lunch, stay for the neighbourhood, and spend the afternoon getting happily lost in one of the best corners of Paris. That's a Friday well spent.

We have gone into every place being polite and kind and were met with such hostility. He got even more snippy and rude when we declined to have wine or dessert, when we tried to ask any questions about the menu, even walking away from us while we were in the middle of speaking or asking a question. When he brought us food or drinks he nearly dropped it on the table and quickly sped off. Some other servers seemed nice to other guests, so maybe we got one on a bad day but still we felt really upset and uncomfortable with how we were treated, there is no reason for anyone in the service industry to be so rude especially when we were being so polite. You also get blocked into your seat, and are very close to other guests which is fine but you have to call the waiter to pull your table back out to get up or to go to your seat- to which they begrudgingly do so. The beef bourguignon was tasty, but we did not like how both my and my friend's order were brought in the same pot. This resulted in us having maybe 3 tiny potatoes each and not near as much meat as we hoped for. We were expecting to each have our own dish. This was certainly not worth the 36€ per person price point (nearly $80 USD for the one pot of food), and we left the restaurant still hungry and extremely upset and disappointed by the service. Overall I would not return or recommend.
