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.
Great selection of entrees & meats! Chimichurri sauce was 5$ extra but it's worth it & the portion is more than enough for two people. The duck was a bit too chewy for me but overall the food was delicious. It also would've been nice if our martinis were served in martini glasses instead of water glasses. Service was excellent & the staff were very friendly. I would still come back to try other things on the menu!

Tellement dommage! La nourriture est vraiment super mais l'ambiance est atroce. C'est plein de groupes de douchebags qui hurlent impossible de se parler. Vraiment à éviter à moins d'être sur le party avec 20 personnes. Aucune option vege. Des produits laitiers dans littéralement tous les accompagnements & aucune flexibilité de la part de la cuisine. Une grosse déception
We trusted the reviews & that was an absolute mistake. The food & "salad" was horrible. A whole lettuce & some half turnips. The lettuce was yellow & looked so bad. The lamb skewer was rare & so chewy. The chairs are old & rusty. We also waited so long for ordering & getting the bill. The first place I ate in Montreal & such bad experience. It's a shame.
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!
On adore cette formule de partage. On a essayé le magret, 2 choix de légumes & le chimichurri !!! On a continué avec les 2 desserts....Hâte d'y retourner pour essayer d'autres options. Beau grand restaurant !! Très jolie terrasse.
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!
La cuisine y est généreuse & très bonne! Le service est attentionné & l'ambiance est sans prétention & ça me plaît bien. Le bâtiment dans lequel repose le restaurant semble habiter une autre époque & c'est ce qui fait qu'il est intéressant d'y manger. Les prix sont abordables. Cependant, il y a pas beaucoup de stationnement dans le coin, car il y a des travaux, mais si vous êtes prêts à marcher un peu, ça se trouve quand même, reste que le restaurant est au centre-ville de Montréal. Prévoir des déplacements en transport en commun durant l'été avec les festivals.

the vibe & service here are very nice. no complaints to that end. but my rating is mostly based on food & whether or not i see myself coming back. i have to start with the good: the lobster shrimp toast was amazing & i would get that again in a heartbeat. i also enjoyed the baked potato. unfortunately we were quite disappointed with the meats that we ordered which i thought would have been the main star of the meal (lamb, duck, porchetta). fyi they didn't come with any sauce which u have to order separately for $5 extra. not sure if this is common practice but i found it odd since i'm used to having meats come with wtv sauce. anw we felt that the meats were dry & tough to chew so we didn't have a good experience with it
Music way too loud. I asked them to lower because we couldn't hear ourselves talk & I was getting a headache. They said no because it was important for the ambience. Really!!! Fish, potatoes, mushrooms asparagus & duck excellent. Brochette not good at all.
Nous avons passé une belle soirée avec des amis La salle principale est vraiment bruyante On est donc allé sur la terrasse qui était moins pleine & on a pu passer une meilleure soirée Les entrées était sympa surtout le jambon Le plat principal était moins bon. Énormément de graisses Les desserts étaient bons aussi
Ambiance détendue & un espace aéré. Belle terrasse. Enfin un super rapport qualité prix. Superbe sauce aux morilles un délice. Superbe assiette de grillades. Carte des vins abordables.
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!
