lovely, cozy spot along one of the better restaurant rows in Montreal (Joe Beef, Liverpool House, etc). the outdoor patio is nice but the bar seats seem the most fun spot of all.
as for food, the tuna crudo & sunchokes were quite nice. the fish of the day (trout) was perfectly cooked with a beautiful corn salad underneath. desserts are great, too - especially the tart w/ beautifully-sliced strawberries. just a great dining experience all-around without being pretentious...even down to the table napkins!
Stopped in on a busy Saturday night before dinner at one of their sister locations a few doors down. They created some seats at the bar for the two of us. Service was FANTASTIC. Well oiled machine, even with larger party on the outdoor patio. Excellent recommendation for the wine & a small starter (ham & cheese). Consistently check in on to make sure all was good. Post Script: On way back home after dinner, we walked by & the same waitress recognized us, asked us how our meal was at other restaurant. Highly recommend.
I wish I could give more stars but our experience was underwhelming & disappointing.
We were seated at 9pm, with an 8:15 reservation. There were probably another 4-5 groups also waiting to be seated for their reso, & one couple bailed. I felt bad for staff, because it was clear that their reservation system was not working correctly. It would have been appreciated if our extra wait was awknowleged by management in some way.
This may also sound trivial, but the staff cleaning the silverware was doing so at the bar. The loud clinking sound of dropping knifes & forks into baskets contiued for the entire dinner right next to us.
Lastly, when we finally ordered our server came back & advised us that we ordered too many plates, & suggested to remove 3 of them. We had ordered 7 total under the recommendations we saw online. After our 4 dishes came out, she never returned to see how we were doing, & the bartender assisted in ordering us a few more plates. Honestly, it just felt weird.
For a $200+ dinner for two, everything was underwhelming & I hope the staff gets more help & the reservation system is fixed to avoid these issues in the future.
Top five meals of my life. Sat at the bar & Bryan spent a lot of time with me going over the menu & wines which I could order by the glass. Let me sample the wines as well. I had five small plates & four glasses of wine. Some of these were absolutely exquisite, specifically the mushrooms. They made rapini taste good. Do you have any idea how difficult that is? The atmosphere was very friendly & decor interesting. Thank you so much Bryan & Chefs.
What a fabulous restaurant!! This was our fifth time going & are blown away time & time again. Gabriel is always there to welcome us & sets a warm tone. The service was exceptional (thanks Grace!) & the support team was always present (high five to Thomas). The wine selection is extensive, with a great selection of natural &'less-natural' wines, & the cocktails were once again on point. The barman Bryan made one of the best dirty martinis!
What set this visit apart was that we had a guest that had allergies to Gluten, Dairy, Egg, & Citrus. The entire crew went above & beyond to understand our guest's needs & accommodate. We were able to have multiple share plates & entrees that made the dinner experience flow seamlessly. What's more is that Grace offered us a Vegan dessert option from their sister restaurant, Liverpool House, that checked all of the allergy-free boxes. The kitchen staff walked down the street, picked it up, & served it to us..this was the first dessert that our guest had been able to eat at a restaurant in years!! The team at Vin Papillon once again went above & beyond what was expected. Great job!
Went to a really cool restaurant in Montreal last night that was recommended by a colleague. Everything about the experience was great - the food, the wine, & especially the staff. You could tell right away that the people working there are passionate about what they do. Kelly at the bar was fantastic company & made the evening even better. Carter from the kitchen made an appearance to check in on us. Definitely a place I'd come back
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).
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.
