Wonderful dining experience with absolutely delicious food!
I doubt I have enjoyed beetroot as much as I enjoyed it at Papito. The duck was cooked to perfection as was the braised lamb (day's special). We found this place by chance & so glad we opted to dine here
Just finished up a quick bit here & was very impressed. Admittedly I only went in to try the duck, it was some of the best I've had. Perfectly cooked over charcoal with that super crispy skin that is so often lacking. I sat at the bar & the service was great, everyone that I spoke to was amazing. It is definitely a bit on the louder side so something to be aware of if you're not into that, but I loved how lively it was. Wine selection was excellent. All in all, can't wait to bring some friends here next time we're in town, would be great to share some meat platters. Merci Papito!

I ordered the lamb & duck. The food was good & tasty. The duck was juicy & the lamb was seared beautifully. It's good but it's just a little bit expensive for the portions.
We went for MtlaTable & it was very good price-quality ratio. The portions were very generous for a 3 course menu at $50. We tried a few things but my favorites were the Ceviche, the Brussel Sprouts & the Duck Magret.
The only downside is that the music is a little loud & it is more latino dance music.
I may come back but their regular menu seems a little expensive.
It's a perfect place to go & share a casual meal with, I really enjoyed the duck! The proteins flavours didn't penetrate as much in my opinion but the sides MORE than make up for it! The Asparagus is FABULOUS & the portions are generally!
My meal here was incredible. One of the best duck dishes I've had in a long time. Their focaccia surprised me- super high hydration dough & great taste. Salad also delicious, has a tomato sauce on the bottom you can soak up the bread with.
Arrived in Montreal for the Jazz Festival,
Googled some spots, & luckily found Papito.
With no reservation, somehow we got a small place beside the bar -
the house was packed, 100% full, buzzing with life.
The menu? Nice & simple.
We ordered a few things, not expecting much -
until the food arrived.
My wife & I couldn't stop eating, couldn't stop salivating.
What flavors! Perfect execution.
The bread? The best I've ever had. Duck Magret? They killed it - absolutely sublime.
Kafta, sausage, salad, potatoes -
every bite perfect, honest, unforgettable.
& the drinks!
As brilliant as the kitchen.
They served us amazing cocktails, crafted with love.
The whiskey sour was flawless,
but the Carrillo… oh my God,
I had three (I think).
Of course, none of this would be possible
without the incredible crew Papito has.
A round of applause for them! 👏
This is the kind of place
that makes every other restaurant feel average.
This place delivered on decent portioned sharing plates. I am so tired of tapas style with just one or two portions. We were four people & we ordered the chicken, beets, eggplant & duck with the rutabaga puree. Everything was so well balanced & interesting in terms of flavour. The beets were my favourite! The acidity level was on point. Our bill came out to $30 per person & we were full. Ambiance & service is 10/10. Personally up there with Tuck Shop & better than Vin Mon Lapin. I would come back again!
