Manque d'inventivité : un ingredient dans une assiette, that's it. Aucune uniformité entre les mets. Tout les plats feel comme une petite collation que ta maman t'aurais fait après l'école. Vin bio qui goûte le petit jus de raisin oasis pour aller avec thématique scolaire.
Première expérience au Vin Papillon. D'abord, l'endroit est petit, les tables sont proches les unes des autres, ça m'a un peu surprise ! Le service, immaculé, a toutefois été très rapide en début de repas, peut-être un peu trop. Par après, ça s'est ajusté, c'était moins précipité & plus agréable! Toutefois, la qualité des plats était au RV. C'est excellent. C'est créatif, délicieux! Le jambon est un incontournable, tout comme le dessert, sandwich crème glacée au gâteau au carotte. Excellent choix de vin. Le tout assez abordable! 7 plats partagés, 2 verres de vin, un dessert & un café pour 100$. C'est sublime ! Un 5 étoiles sans aucun doute !!!
All dishes are meant for sharing, but please note that the serving sizes are small. While ham with slices of cheese is out of the ordinary, nothing else impressed me at all. Desserts are so-so.
We went there yesterday & the vibe was amazing! The waiter was super helpful to choose the dishes & drinks. Food was quite nice & they have great selection of wines🍷
Deuxième fois pour moi dans ce restaurant & toujours bluffée. Les saveurs sont juste wow! Nous étions 5 & nous avons tous adoré notre expérience & nos plats.
It's not a trip to mtl without visiting Vin Papillon! Very knowledgeable servers, food is always 10/10, orange wine is a MUST. Always excited to go back!
Easy five out five. Even though they were quite busy on Thursday night, the service was fantastic. The food marvellous & they accommodated me, my partner & our huge stroller in one of the sides.
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.
We love this place! This is the second time we’ve dined here & both times were excellent. The food is outstanding & the staff are knowledgeable, friendly, & very helpful. We will return!
Delicious tapas style menu.
Everything tasted amazing, I particularly enjoyed the anchovie bread with compound herb butter.
The service was quick & attentive & everything felt very fresh.
There were a lot of interesting wine bottles options & the server did a great job with her recommendations.
