As such, La Panthère offers a menu made up almost entirely of local, organic alternatives, while also making it a priority to use recycled materials. So, in addition to helping your digestive system, you will be helping the planet! People dine here mainly for their stews (healthier than Aunt Gertrude’s, promise!).
