Ambiance très bruyante,
compliqué de communiquer avec la personne en face de soit & service assez long.
Malgré cela les produits sont de bonnes qualités !

Une grande tablée.
Dans la bouffe réconfortante.
Une ambiance festive.
Noël.
Je me sentais dans un souper de Noël.
Mais crime !
C'était en avril !
C'est ça le Papito.
Le feeling : Noël, mais en avril.
Alors offrez-vous un Papito en cado.
(Pis moi, j'adore Noël alors c'est vraiment un compliment.)
The taste was incredible! The portions, less so. Our server was very patient & kind & helped explain the menu to us. We were very excited for the lamb saddle from the pictures we saw online-however, when they came out, ours were small & lacking in comparison. The picture of the food almost looked embarrassing because the meat was so thin & small in quantity, despite spending well into the triple digits. This small cut alone was what brought this review from 5 to 3 stars.
On the other hand, HIGHLY recommend the spicy cucumbers. Absolutely delicious. Whatever vinaigrette-oil they are doused in is an amazing dipping sauce for meat, bread, etc. Order this for sure.
The food was'Chef's kiss' I can't wait to go back with a bigger group of friends, because this is a place that need to be shared. The service was amazing! If you want a drink that is not on the menu, they will make it for you!
Also, good music & great ambiance!
10/10
Merci à l'équipe du Papito pour l'accueil d'un nombreux groupe de 33 personnes. Le menu était copieux, délicieux & le prix très raisonnable. Le restaurant est très grand & propose donc une ambiance parfaite pour fêter. Un merci tout particulier pour le staff très attentionné aux demandes, aux allergies & aux intolérances. Je recommande!

Delicious food with great portions. Ordered the lamb, chicken, bread, bearnaise sauce, buttermilk salad & it was the perfect amount for two people. Minus points for the dessert, unfortunately. The banana bread was very cold & felt stale & the mascarpone mousse was too sweet, especially with the butterscotch on top. Could use some reworking in terms of texture & balance. Otherwise great! The service was lovely & I look forward to going back & trying other items on the menu!

Nous avons pris le thon, très bon & goûteux. Les accompagnements étaient rafraîchissants: les concombres & les tomates. L'ambiance était bien. Le service était également agréable. Nous recommandons!
Amazing experience. Food is amazing,cool ambiance & the greatest service from are Waiter Jessy. He truly made use feel at home like all of his colleagues.I strongly recommended!
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!

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 .
Have been wanting to try Papito's for some time, & we were not disappointed. Group of 5 guys, & we all loved it. Service was really good (Aliane -sp was our waitress), cocktails were on point, & our mains were so good (prime rib, tuna, porchetta, lamb chops). Highly recommend & looking forward to going back.
Superbe ambiance, j'adore la cuisine ouverte, le charcoal de bois, le goût de la viande est délicieux! Tout le reste est à améliorer, les entrées : haricots froids & pas assez cuits & beaucoup trop épicés. Les champignons sauvages sont bons, la sauce trop onctueuse à mon goût. Les pommes de terre au four sont acceptables. Le service n'est pas efficace. On nous laisse avec nos plats terminés trop longtemps sans vérifier si nous avons terminé. Nous avons dû nous lever pour obtenir notre facture & payer. Le décor est très chaleureux & ça sent bon.
