The atmosphere is generally described as lively, moody, and perfect for dates or friendly gatherings, complemented by a lovely terrace.

Despite minor critiques, the restaurant remains a top choice for those seeking a vibrant, high quality dining experience where the staff frequently goes above and beyond to accommodate guests.
Nous avons essayé une dizaine de plats, ils étaient tous très bon. La serveuse était très gentille, le vin était bon, si j'avais un point à améliorer serait le timing des plats qui étaient trop rapide pour profiter de chaque plat.
Service courtois, bouffe délicieuse, bons vins, mais portion beaucoup trop rikiki pour le prix, désolé assiette de champignons à 28$…l'assiette doit en valoir la peine. J'ai été déçu des portions.
I've been to Le Vin Papillon twice now, & both times the food & service were excellent! I've been lucky during my visits that the menu was naturally very veggie-forward. The staff was incredibly accommodating & tried to adapt things for a vegan palate whenever possible, even if a few specific dishes couldn't be modified.
While in general I'd love to see even more fully vegan options on menus across the city, this is a fantastic place to start. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, & delicious wine :)

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!
Le Vin Papillon was truly one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had in Montréal. Every dish we tried was incredible. The pairings with the food elevate the experience even further. One of the most impressive aspects is the creativity in the kitchen the flavours come together in surprisingly perfect harmony.
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.
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).
Comida 10/10
Poisson au charbon 10/10 no tomé foto pero es el mejor pescado que he probado en montreal
Personal muy amable !!
Coctel : pelirojo très bonne !!! Cargado de alcool 🥃 Vin : du Québec ! 9/10 solo por que estaba muyyy frio
Solo que nos toco a un lado de la ventana y entraba el aire de el exterior todo el tiempo tube mis piernas frias
Esperacomo 10 min en tener la Comida , fue rapido.
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.
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 !
