Le Vin Papillon

I solo travel at least once a year & decided to come to Montreal for the first time over my birthday weekend. My first meal/birthday dinner was at Le Vin Papillon & I can't express what a wonderful experience I had. The mushrooms might be the most incredible dish I've ever tasted (I will likely dream about them) & the ham was equally delightful. I sipped on the Martinez Rose (delicious but very strong- do not order if you're a lightweight). 😂. The staff surprised me with a carrot cake ice cream sandwich & while I don't typically enjoy carrot cake…this was next level.

More importantly, the staff was superb. They were so welcoming & attentive. I'd love to give a special shout out to Flo- thank you for your kindness & for making my birthday dinner so special.

I look forward to coming back with friends & family!

Excellent food . Small plates allowed us to try several dishes . Some of our favorites were lamb, tuna tartare , mushrooms , tomato tart & tomato ricotta . The carrot cake dessert was very good . Great casual place for dinner .

I went this past Friday & the food & service was superb. Daphne was extremely helpful in recommending plates throughout the evening, if the carrot cake ice cream sandwich is on the menu it is a must get!

Definitely make a reservation as this place is extremely busy. Their plates are small so for two people its recommended to order about 5-6 dishes which will leave you quite full so plan accordingly for dessert as you must have dessert. We ordered the petite grande aioli, crudo, jambon, boeuf, scallops, & the maiitake for our mains. For dessert, we ordered the icecream sandwich carrot cake which was delicious!!! Highlights were: crudo, jambon & the carrot cake. Would return & highly recommend it!

Easily the best meal of the year so far. Yes, the ham is worth the hype but there were so many more incredible, & thoughtful dishes that aren't to be missed: radishes, calamari with nduja, & the carrot cake are musts. Special shout out to the bus boy Clyde who was wonderfully attentive & made the suggestion to order & save bread to soak up the delicious sauces.

Came here with a friend for dinner recently & split several plates, we did not order any alcohol (this is reflected in the bill price per person). We started with the asparagus - it was super fresh but the bread crumbs were quite bland; the ham & Parmesan (excellent but would recommend perhaps ordering bread to go with it); & the radishes (one of their specials) - these came with a scone & herb butter, which were all quite good). We also had the chicken sausages (a special) & the mushrooms (regular menu). Both were very good but the mushrooms do not really given summer - would not necessarily recommend for a hot day. We tried two desserts, the labneh & rhubarb cake. Both very good, labneh was nice & tangy, rhubarb cake had lovely textures but I would have wanted the rhubarb flavor to stand out more. We could definitely have ordered fewer plates & still had enough food. The terrace in the back where we sat was also very nice.

This was one of the best dining experiences of my life. My girlfriend & I came here for a nice dinner on a weekend trip & couldn't be more pleased! We got the bread, the ham & cheese, vegetable plate with aioli, the chicken & the lamb for dinner along with the carrot cake cream cheese ice cream sandwich with hot butterscotch sauce & Guinness infused chocolate cake with mascarpone for dessert. I also had the lemon grapefruit vodka soda to drink which was wonderful.

The only thing better than the food was the service. Huge shoutout to Brian for being incredibly attentive, especially to my allergies.

Such a wonderful experience & will be back when I'm in Montreal!

Had a great experience with a friend of mine. There was a great vibe & music, nice crowd & the food & service was top notch. The cherry on the cake was being served by Grace, who served us at her previous job at Mon Lapin, & she was gracious, helpful & pleasant as in the past. If you go, make sure to ask for her.. you cannot go wrong with her suggestions. Looking forward in coming back & enjoying another delicious meal! Cheers
