    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

    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

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

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.

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.

As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.

The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing.

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.

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.
