Mon gros coup de coeur : le classique jambon blanc. J'en mangerais littéralement tous les jours. Mais honnêtement, tout est excellent, autant les cocktails, le vin, que les plats.

Le service est top, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & toujours animée. C'est devenu un de mes incontournables à Montréal, au point où je me dis que je dois y aller au moins une fois par mois.

La terrasse (même l'hiver!) est tellement le fun pour prendre un verre en attendant notre table. La musique est toujours parfaitement choisie, ça met vraiment l'ambiance.

& petit shoutout au gérant, le grand brun ténébreux à l'entrée, sourire contagieux, énergie incroyable, ça donne le ton dès l'arrivée.

Un resto sans prétention, mais qui fait tout parfaitement.

I truly don't get the hype... food was ok, portions were small & the wine recommendations were mediocre. Also, it's not cheap. $22 for 1 squid skewer is a bit ridiculous. No issues with the service but it did take awhile for us to get the bill

Amazing food, a lot of fun specials, & delicious drinks. I really liked their Elderflower Sour Mocktail. The suggestion was to order 4-6 dishes - we got 7 & still had room for dessert (of which we ordered 2). We left the restaurant reasonably full, but for the price, I expected a bit more food for each portion. We even considered for a moment going to another restaurant for an extra dish.

The vibe was immaculate, the staff really friendly & helpful (they were super attentive to my allergies), & the food was so good, with some surprising combos that worked super well.

A solid dining experience, just didn't get the bang for the buck we wanted in the end.

C'était notre deuxième fois au Vin Papillon & notre expérience a été encore meilleure que la première. La nourriture, la première fois, était 10/10, c'était le service que nous avions un peu moins apprécié.

La deuxième fois : expérience 11/10. Le service reçu par Grace a surpassé nos attentes & elle était super souriante. La bouteille de vin blanc qui nous a été conseillée était très bonne également.

Ce que nous avons pris : le classique jambon & pain, le crudo de bar sauvage, le tartare de boeuf cru au poivre (notre coup de coeur), le poisson au charbon (plat réconfortant ++), le plat de raclette (le fromage à raclette était divin) & l'incontournable sandwich à la crème glacée au gâteau aux carottes (j'y pensais depuis la première fois que j'y étais allée).

J'ai déjà hâte à notre prochaine visite !

Excellente expérience,
Merci à Antoine ainsi qu'au reste du staff. Nourriture savoureuse, adapté à la saison & soignée.
Pour l'assiette de Maïtakes, il y avait quelques petits morceaux de carbonisés.
Le mocktail à la fleur de sureau était très agréable, ma conjointe & moi même, aurions bien aimé y gouter une petite touche de gingembre.

Comme j'en avais été informé, le seul bémol, la proximité des tables & le bruit un peu élevé, mais nous nous en sommes accomodés.

C est trop cher..
Une brochette de calmar a 22$.. cest un peu abuser ..
Je comprend que le prix du marché au augmenter mais quand meme.. cest trop..
Seule qui est acceptable aux prix - portions: est la salade de choux bruxelles.

It's quite an experience to come to this place & try their delicious dishes. The service isn't the best; our waiter forgot to take our order & ask us if we needed anything else. They also gave us a table next to the entrance, & when the door opened, the cold winter air came in...

Very good. One of my favourite restaurants I've been to in the city. Also in a great location with other fun restos & bars around. Service was amazing from the start, explaining the menu throughly for us'first timers'. Fun plates to share, don't disregard the veggies as they are some of the best parts of the meal. The chilie cabbage was probably one of the best things I've ever eaten. (Choi chili crisp). Thanks for the great service, food & ambience, will be back asap.

Une perle de Montréal. Du service à l'originalité des plats, tout y es pour faire de cette endroit un incontournable. Les prix sont appropriés, la qualité de la nourriture est à tomber par terre. Seul bémol, on est assis très serré les uns contre les autres.

Je recommande sans hésite

First time but not the last. From the food, to the wine, to the service, everything was impeccable.

The beef skewer was a highlight, along with the ham, & the Brussels sprouts.

Easy enough area to park in.

So good I forgot to take pictures!

I love it here, the food, the atmosphere, the wine all intersect perfectly. The wine list is expertly curated & the chef always achieves something amazing with scallops & razor clams: both my true loves under the sea.

First visit to Le Vin Papillon for birthday celebration. We were 2 & sat at the bar. Wonderful service & a great atmosphere throughout. The food & wine were excellent, with small sharing plates that were original & delicious. Everything was perfect. A solid 5-star experience.

Charming restaurant with a warm & laidback atmosphere. The food was pretty good but not mind blowing. Wine was great. The absolute highlight however was the Paris-Brest at the end, it was so good! Overall, a nice place for a relaxed & enjoyable evening out.

Bonne nourriture. Trop de service & pas assez d'intimité. Je vais leur dire la prochaine fois. Belle terrasse.
