Le Comptoir du Panthéon

Latin Quarter


Enormous, creative, meal-size salads are the reasons to choose this as a dining spot. Magnificently placed across from the domed Panthéon on the shady side of the street, its pavement terrace is big, busy and quintessentially Parisian – turn your head away from Voltaire’s burial place and the Eiffel Tower pops into view. The bar closes daily at 1.45am.
