Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Le Vin Papillon as a standout Montreal dining spot praised for inventive, flavorful sharing plates, a thoughtfully curated natural wine program, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The food is repeatedly called delicious and creative, with particular attention to crudo, seafood, ham and cheese plates, and standout desserts like the carrot cake sandwich and Paris Brest, while some note that portions can be on the smaller side. The service is frequently lauded for being friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, with many mentions of a vibrant, intimate vibe that makes it easy to linger, though a few comments point to a busy, noisy room and occasional missteps or rushed pacing. The setting is described as charming, with a great terrace or back patio and a lively neighborhood, though guests also mention tight seating and some late night terrace issues with noise and trash nearby. The wine list is consistently praised as well curated and well explained by staff. A few perspectives query value, with some calling the pricing steep for the portions, while others crown it a must visit and among the best in the city, even noting Michelin recommendation. In sum, Le Vin Papillon comes across as a must try for adventurous diners who value strong flavors, thoughtful pairings, and a convivial atmosphere, tempered by occasional constraints of space and price.

Belle expérience !
Service super, la carte des vins présente une belle sélection.
Mon seul bémol, le choix de plats végétariens pourrait être plus grand, mais somme toute je recommande sans hésitation !

I had reservations on a Saturday night. We had to wait around 20 minutes before we were seated. Parking is not the easiest in this area but there are some paid parking lots you can use. We tried a bunch of different plates. As we are not huge wine people, we let our waitress help us pick out one that would go well with what we were eating. We really enjoyed the selection & the service was great. Despite the delayed start, the food & service was quick afterwards. Not sure I would visit again but was nice to experience it once.

Good food & good service but there is always place to improve. Disappointed that the wine selection by the glass was really really bad. By bottle there were some known good wines but by glass, although not cheap...poor selection. If I understand correctly their selection changes, but maybe the criteria is to get rid of bottles that don't sell ? Sell them by the glass ? So the " less interesting "ones ? No idea, but really poor bottles from France (2) , Argentina & Quebec, so four choices. Verdict : give it a try.

Great wine selection & delicious food. Exactly what you would expect from a high quality wine bar/resto in Montreal. A great selection of small dishes to share as well, it does get busy during prime dinner hours. We did feel a bit rushed at the end of the dinner, as the reservation was already there, but it is to be expected at a busy popular spot.

Great food & wine with a relaxed vibe. We enjoyed the small sharing plates made with high quality ingredients. Great wine selection & excellent sommelier. We just described the types of wines we like & they brought out a few options for us.
