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.

Je dois être honnête avec cette critique, si vous désirez bien manger, vous êtes au bon endroit. Beau plat à partager, plusieurs choix dans la fraîcheur, legumes, viandes sont incroyables. Par contre soyez avisé que votre serveuse vous avisera dès le début que vous devez quitter la table après 2 heures..... Nous étions 4, nous avions une réservation à 19: 30 & elle nous a clairement indiquer qu'a 21;30 il y avait un autre service & ce avant même de commander notre premier verre...Nous nous sommes senti très précipiter & la serveuse nous avisait que nous avions du retard dans nos choix si on pensait prendre un dessert..... De plus, j'ai réserve un mois en avance en demandant une table sur la terrasse arrière & nous ne l'avons pas eu. J'ai réitérer ma demande & j'ai reçu une des air bête les plus sauvage jamais eu en restauration. Pour une facture à 4 de 660.00$, malheureusement je m'attends à recevoir un service impeccable. Ce ne fut pas le cas. Bravo au gens en cuisine pour l'excellence des plats mais pour le service, un léger recardèrent est de mise... Ce fut la première visite & ce sera aussi la dernière...

Last two visits here have been terribly mediocre. Smaller plates than before, Wine by the glass very disappointing & very lacklustre service. This used to be in my top three restaurants. I'll take a break & revisit one day... but honestly feel the bang for buck is no longer here. This restaurant is coasting too easily imo. Nearly no air conditioning on the bar side & very slow staggered service.

I visited while on a work trip & sat at the bar. The bartender was excellent! The service in general was great, & it was such a cute environment. The wine list is unique & the dishes I tried were really good, especially the rabbit sausage. Perfect place to share small plates with friends.

We came here at the recommendation of a few friends, & it did not disappoint. Instead of choosing our own dishes we opted for the Blind Menu where they curated the entire dining experience for us, considering our food preferences. The jambon & fromage was the best of all that we got 2 plates! The tomato dish, & the biscuit & radish round out the top 3 for us. As for dessert, we got the carrot cake ice cream sandwich, which was also one of their bestsellers. Overall, a nuit parfaite!

J'avais beaucoup d'attente en allant manger dans cette institution montréalaise & malheureusement ça n'a pas atteint mes attentes. Plats ordinaires, service précipité, en 45 min nous avions reçu nos cinq plats & étions prêts à quitter. Manque de finesse, plus un endroit de 5@7, qu'une cuisine recherchée.

Coziest space, with great service. The carrot cake ice cream sandwich is a dessert I will think about often. The shaved ham & cheese is a perfect starter, & the mushroom dish with its delicious sauce is an umami dream.

Très belle terrasse en arrière & au calme. Des belles assiettes avec du goût, une carte des vins intéressantes. Service client au top même pour trouver une table pour 1h & nous faire vivre une belle expérience !

Lovely little restaurant with good food but the price was about 25% more than a similar restaurant with similar food.

Un des meilleurs restaurants de Montréal ! La nourriture était très délicieuse - des plats aux saveurs complexes & raffinées. Le service était attentionné & le personnel était sympa. J'ai aimé aussi l'ambiance du local. J'y retournerai sûrement !

Trop cher. Tranches de jambon froides avec du fromage rapé dessus pour 18.00 $ c'est abusif même dans une ville où le prix des restos est déjà élevé.

Un de mes restaurants préférés à Montréal! Leur jambon est un classique à ne pas manquer! Tout leur plats sont délicieux, avec des ingrédients de qualité & parfaitement exécutés. Leur carte de vin au verre & à la bouteille est très bonne & change à chaque visite.
