A great concept centered around sharing dishes with a focus on fresh veggies & flavorful food. Excellent variety on all sides-everything we tried was delicious & special. The cocktails were fresh & tasty, & the staff were incredibly friendly & helpful. As part of the Parvis series, it maintains the same high standards in both taste & value for money
What an amazing time we had a Papito's! Big, beautiful space, amazing food & drinks - the appetizers were fresh & original, the cocktails were original. The mains were hearty & generous. A really fun vibe for a night out with friends - I can't wait to go back again & explore the menu further!
This place is a hidden gem that people need to stop sleeping on! All their dishes are so fresh & the meats are so good. We got the lettuce , tomatoes, eggplants & gratin. Meat wise we got the lamb, ribs, pork loin. Make sure you ask what the specials are, it changes everyday! The wine list is long & the servers give great recommendations. So glad I stumbled on this during my trip. We also got the desserts on the house which was so sweet of them 🥰 . Will definitely be coming back .

First time at Papitos. Great atmosphere. Meat was fantastic however was disappointed that Porchetta was not available/out of stock. Expect that your meat will be mostly rare. Unfortunately I couldn't eat some of the duck & prime rib because it was so undercooked. Vegetables were disappointing, green (actually yellow?!) beans & broccoli were cold, mushrooms were undercooked & super small serving & just smothered in purée. Tomato's were fresh & delicious though.
On a recent visit to Montreal, I discovered a new restaurant downtown. Housed in a former large shoe store with a simple entrance marked only by the street number above the door. As you step inside, you're greeted by a large, vibrant dining hall flanked by a huge open kitchen with a prominent charcoal grill. At the far end of the space is a beautiful patio! Was full but looked very inviting! While the space is beautiful, the food is the star here, with fresh, locally sourced farm-to-table meats & vegetables. Every dish is prepared with care & creativity, & the presentation is nothing short of gorgeous. But the taste is even better! The friendly service enhances the dining experience, making you feel welcome & well-cared for. There was also an excellent wine list to complement the dishes. Must try's - the sausage, ceviche & duck! This hidden gem, named Papito as a tribute to the owner's father, is destined to become one of the best restaurants in town. Don't miss the chance to check it out!
Visited Papito last evening after several recommendations - it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was lively & vibrant & all of the staff, from arrival to leaving, were friendly & welcoming! Edgy, yet unpretentious! But the food was the star of the show! It's farm to table - fresh & delicious! As a group of 5, we ordered a number of plates to share. The ceviche literally melted in my mouth! The array of vegetable dishes were outstanding! How they made carrots so delicious is a mystery! The meat dishes - duck & sausage - were perfection! Sauces were amazing & not too heavy, perfectly complementing the dishes. The type of food that you know you should stop eating because you are full, but can't because it's sooooo good! We had to try the desserts! The pistachio cake was next level! Papito may be my new favourite restaurant in MTL! All 5 of us agreed that we will definitely be back!
Cannot speak highly enough about this place! Quickly a new Montreal favourite of mine. The menu options are fun & fresh, super delicious, & akin to farm to table. The duck is a highlight & their veggie options are terrific & based on seasonality. Drinks could use a tiny bit of work, but I know they'll get there. Wine list is great!
