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

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.

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 !
Plats excellents dans un cadre absolument charmant.
Attention à la terrasse en fin de soirée cependant, il se peut que les éboueurs passent & déposent des déchets proche du restaurant qui empestent l'air.
Une superbe expérience au Vin Papillon pour mon anniversaire ! ✨ Le service est impeccable & l'ambiance vraiment unique : la cuisine ouverte, la lumière tamisée au coucher du soleil… ça crée une atmosphère incroyable. Les plats à partager regorgent de saveurs, surtout accompagnés d'un bon vin. Petit bémol : c'est assez bruyant, donc pas toujours évident de discuter. Mais dans l'ensemble, une adresse à ne pas manquer !
