Les légumes occupent le devant de la scène dans des assiettes élaborées qui mettent en valeur les textures et les saveurs naturelles. La cuisine maintient une philosophie axée sur des ingrédients issus du marché, sélectionnés avec une attention rigoureuse à la qualité et à l'origine. Chaque proposition reflète un engagement envers la simplicité tout en démontrant une précision technique exemplaire. L'atmosphère est définie par une concentration dénuée de prétention sur l'assiette, permettant aux composantes fraîches de commander toute l'attention. Les convives découvrent une rotation de préparations qui s'adaptent selon la disponibilité des récoltes locales. Cette dévotion à la diversité botanique garantit que chaque visite célèbre l'essence même d'une cuisine végétale contemporaine.
Le Vin Papillon est largement reconnu comme une destination gastronomique incontournable à Montréal, acclamée pour sa cuisine inventive mettant les légumes à l'honneur et sa carte des vins minutieusement sélectionnée. De nombreux clients soulignent que le jambon, les champignons et les petites assiettes saisonnières sont des classiques mémorables, témoignant du talent de la cuisine à transformer des ingrédients simples en expériences culinaires raffinées. L'ambiance est généralement décrite comme chaleureuse et animée, idéale pour les rendez vous ou les sorties entre amis, le tout agrémenté d'une terrasse agréable. Bien que la majorité des visiteurs saluent un service attentionné et professionnel, quelques convives ont noté des disparités entre la taille des portions et les prix, ainsi que des enjeux liés au niveau sonore ou au confort des assises. Malgré quelques critiques mineures, l'établissement demeure un choix de premier ordre pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience culinaire vibrante où le personnel déploie fréquemment des efforts remarquables pour satisfaire sa clientèle.
I wish I could give more stars but our experience was underwhelming & disappointing.
We were seated at 9pm, with an 8:15 reservation. There were probably another 4-5 groups also waiting to be seated for their reso, & one couple bailed. I felt bad for staff, because it was clear that their reservation system was not working correctly. It would have been appreciated if our extra wait was awknowleged by management in some way.
This may also sound trivial, but the staff cleaning the silverware was doing so at the bar. The loud clinking sound of dropping knifes & forks into baskets contiued for the entire dinner right next to us.
Lastly, when we finally ordered our server came back & advised us that we ordered too many plates, & suggested to remove 3 of them. We had ordered 7 total under the recommendations we saw online. After our 4 dishes came out, she never returned to see how we were doing, & the bartender assisted in ordering us a few more plates. Honestly, it just felt weird.
For a $200+ dinner for two, everything was underwhelming & I hope the staff gets more help & the reservation system is fixed to avoid these issues in the future.
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 :)
Easily the best meal of the year so far. Yes, the ham is worth the hype but there were so many more incredible, & thoughtful dishes that aren't to be missed: radishes, calamari with nduja, & the carrot cake are musts. Special shout out to the bus boy Clyde who was wonderfully attentive & made the suggestion to order & save bread to soak up the delicious sauces.

Our group ordered quite a few dishes to share, & every single one was a hit. I especially appreciated how many fresh options were available. When you're traveling, it can be difficult to find food that is both healthy & genuinely delicious, but this restaurant managed to do both perfectly.
I also have to give credit to the staff. My dad & brother leaned a little too hard into the'rude American' stereotype. Despite that, our server remained patient, professional, & attentive throughout the meal. If they happen to read this review, thank you for handling us with such grace!
The food was outstanding from start to finish. My personal favorites were the beet salad, which was as beautiful as it was delicious, & the rhubarb almond tart for dessert. I'm still thinking about both.
I would absolutely recommend this restaurant & would happily return the next time I'm in the area.
We tried around 4 dishes & nothing was really impressive. The bread costed 6$ & the carrot dessert 15$. Nothing extraordinary. Very expensive for what it is
The physical restaurant is cozy & not overly packed. The outdoor terrace is very casual with nice gas fire heaters & a solid roof that covers it, but our table & several others had benches with no back support (ouch). A decent view of the neighboring track/sports field. Reserved & indicated it was for a special occasion. Was no mention of it/acknowledgement from the staff which was too bad as we were celebrating a friend's engagement. Waitress was not overly friendly & after we mentioned it was our first time dining there, did not really guide us through the standard menu or indicate if we were ordering too much or not enough. We ordered multiple dishes which she mentioned would come in courses but the choice of what was served & when was up to the staff. It came out in random orders & often one plate at a time which kept the table looking a bit empty/sad as it's geared for family-style servings of small portions. Most of our dishes were extremely tasty & I'd recommend them (especially the steak & calamari skewers). The carbonara bread & rhubarb tart were extremely boring & lacking flavor. The caramel sauce with the ice cream sandwich was amazing but the sandwich on its own was bland. All in all it was an OK experience but it didn't leave me wanting more. Maybe we just caught them on an off night but we were definitely hoping for more.
Amazing food, a lot of fun specials, & delicious drinks. I really liked their Elderflower Sour Mocktail. The suggestion was to order 4-6 dishes - we got 7 & still had room for dessert (of which we ordered 2). We left the restaurant reasonably full, but for the price, I expected a bit more food for each portion. We even considered for a moment going to another restaurant for an extra dish.
The vibe was immaculate, the staff really friendly & helpful (they were super attentive to my allergies), & the food was so good, with some surprising combos that worked super well.
A solid dining experience, just didn't get the bang for the buck we wanted in the end.
It's quite an experience to come to this place & try their delicious dishes. The service isn't the best; our waiter forgot to take our order & ask us if we needed anything else. They also gave us a table next to the entrance, & when the door opened, the cold winter air came in...
We really wanted to love this place but the experience was really bumpy- for the price & the serving size things would need to be smoother.
Our waitress clearly had opinions about what we should order but she voiced them AFTER we ate mediocre dishes.
The stuffed squash blossoms were lovely, the tomatoes & haddock- also exquisite- & if the dinner had continued on this note all would have been divine…. but then a tiny mysterious leek patty arrived that was utterly blah…& a tiny, singular, dry chicken thigh (two bites each between us) served with a bizarre pile of sunflower seeds.
The worst part of the meal was the rock hard (could barely cut with a steak knife), dry, burned shortcake that came with only a sprinkling of strawberries to mask the acrid, tough dough.
After so much good food in Montreal - it was hard to spend so much on a'special' meal & have it be so disappointing.
Horrible writing a bad review but how else anyone is supposed to improve?
Beautiful terrasse in the back, amazing wine selection & delicious dishes. Must have the carrot caramel cake for dessert. Everything was top notch! Perfect ambiance for date night !
