Blue hour Paris through rain-spotted glass with zinc rooftops and cafe glow

Le Comptoir du Panthéon

cafe·$$·5th

A 5th-arrondissement café whose terrace looks straight at the Panthéon — one of the best free sights in Paris. Order a coffee and a croissant on that terrace, simple things with an extraordinary view, or an evening aperitif as the students pass. The food and coffee are fine; you come for the view and the Latin Quarter energy. It is a view-first café in the best sense — the cooking is beside the point when the Panthéon is glowing across the street and the Latin Quarter is flowing past your table. Morning coffee or evening apéritif, the seat on the terrace is the whole experience, and it costs nothing extra to take in one of the city's grandest monuments.
