Christophe

Creativity in the kitchen doesn’t extend to bare bones décor, but who the hell cares? Certainly not the local Latin Quarter set who pack this bistro day and night. Christophe Philippe is a rising star who’s keeping it bless-his-heart cheap. Bright flavors reflect his Riviera roots and the wines are similarly sunny. Take an after-dinner stroll around the Panthéon to work off all that Bordier butter. Only 29 seats, so reserve. Open every day.
