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.
One of the best meals I've had in a while. The food was delicious, interesting, surprising/ intriguing (even for things you've eaten before). The staff was very helpful in selecting menu items & the ambience is lovely for friends, a date, family in town, etc.

2025: Better menu than last time, friendly service, still a great terrasse
2018: Very nice terrasse. Great selection of wines. It's a little irritating the menu isn't visible from all parts of the restaurant.
Food: bland & pretentious
Service: the waiter laughed at us because we asked for a slice of bread to be served alongside the ham.
Cost 90$ for ham, salad, radishes & a « tarte à la tomate » made of a single slice of tomato, a lot of cheddar & a terrible so called puff pastry. Definitely one of the worst restaurant of the city.
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.
Came here with a friend for dinner recently & split several plates, we did not order any alcohol (this is reflected in the bill price per person). We started with the asparagus - it was super fresh but the bread crumbs were quite bland; the ham & Parmesan (excellent but would recommend perhaps ordering bread to go with it); & the radishes (one of their specials) - these came with a scone & herb butter, which were all quite good). We also had the chicken sausages (a special) & the mushrooms (regular menu). Both were very good but the mushrooms do not really given summer - would not necessarily recommend for a hot day. We tried two desserts, the labneh & rhubarb cake. Both very good, labneh was nice & tangy, rhubarb cake had lovely textures but I would have wanted the rhubarb flavor to stand out more. We could definitely have ordered fewer plates & still had enough food. The terrace in the back where we sat was also very nice.
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.
