Papito Restaurant is described as a lively, welcoming spot with generous shareable portions, a strong emphasis on charcoal grilled meats and fresh locally sourced ingredients, and a well curated wine and cocktail list. Diners frequently praise the duck and lamb dishes, the sauces and the flavors that feel homemade and comforting, along with attentive service and a warm, convivial atmosphere. The place is noted as great for groups and celebrations, with multiple seating areas and a back terrace in summer, and the vibe can be festive and lively. Some reviews mention that the noise level can be high, which may make conversation challenging, and a few point to occasional slow service or reservation mix ups. Overall Papito is seen as a standout Montreal spot for a vibrant, flavorful and social dining experience, with generous portions, variety, and a focus on sharing and hospitality, plus strong drinks to accompany the meals.
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!

Came here for drinks, stayed for all the delicious food. Loved the variety between appetizers & mains, & really loved that there's great vegetarian options for my girlfriend. Cocktails & wine list was a great hit too, already looking forward to come back.
P.S portions are pretty big, so we were very grateful for the waitress to give us the heads up (i was hungry with my eyes & almost over-ordered, oops!)
Very nice experience for our first meal in Montreal. Loved the mushrooms & the chicken kabobs. Pork chop was also very flavorful. Excellent wine selection too. Wait staff was very attentive.
Came with two friends before a show last year. Had an amazing time, shared a few apps & options from the grill . Everything was on point.Great wine list & beverage selection.
It's a Wonderfull brand new restaurant in Downtown, Food is more than you can imagine, the taste, the portions, everything! Their wine options are countless, cocktails are on point & service is 100/100, they were so kind, patience & helpful. I highly recommend this place!
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 .

Amazing homey & cozy restaurant. Feels like you're eating at a chef friend's house. Everything we had was so so tasty, great attention to details & phenomenal menu. The duck was out of this world, the espadon steak too. We also loved the lamb & the clams. Good wine too. Lots of vegetarian options (turn sides into plates). Get a lot of plates & share!
Wow! What a pleasant discovery! We found out about the restaurant online just an hour before our meal. Shoutout to the cooks who are master of sauces! Everything was delicious! Nice cuisson on the meats, really nice, fun & tasty sides, lovely summer salad with grilled tomato vinaigrette & buttermilk. Love the attention to detail in every plate. We'll definitely come back to try other things from the menu. Lovely wine selection as well.
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!

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!
A new favorite! Festive, good food & good wine! Finally a restaurant/wine bar that is spacious & warm, we needed this to revive downtown! Congrats to the Furco team, been three times already! Can't wait for the terrace to open!
