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.
I visited this restaurant for the first time & boy was it delicious! From the outside, it sees like a small, quaint restaurant, but it's actually quite large & spacious inside, with an industrial feel but cozy at the same time. They have a wonderful terrace at the back in the summer. We enjoyed a lovely meal with fresh vegetables & some delicious meats of the day. Their chimichurri to accompany the meats was such a scrumptious addition. Highly recommend this gem of a place!
We had a wonderful dinner at Papito! Our waiter, Juan, was very helpful with our decision making on what to order. They have menus in English, which made it easier for us to know some of the items. But Juan described each dish in detail & gave us history of the restaurant.
We ordered asparagus as a vegetable, Pork Sausage & Lamb Chops as our mains, & the charcoal potatoes as a side. We also ordered chimichurri sauce (highly recommend).
The ambiance was immaculate. This is a great place to have a romantic dinner or a gathering of friends/colleagues. Just be aware this is more of a family-style adventure. It's ideal if you can share plates (& the bill). There are a variety of seating areas (bar, tables, inside/outside).
Our meat choices were spectacular. The lamb was medium rare (fine, but we weren't given an option for temperature). The pork sausage had a cheese inside & that was fun. The chimichurri sauce elevated the flavors so well. It was bright, fresh, & added depth to the meal.
If you're reading this, GET THE POTATOES! Yes, there are muscles, yes, it has tomatoes, it also has chorizo, & all of that together sounds chaotic, but I promise you'll enjoy them.
We didn't order any drinks so I can't say anything about that.

Bon restaurant très bien situé, juste suffisamment à l'écart pour profiter de la tranquillité en pleine ville. Les produits frais & locaux sont sublimes (je vous recommande les légumes!!).
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!

Absolutely loved our evening at Papito Restaurant! Every plate was on point:
• The veal was exquisitely tender.
• The chicken burst with juicy, delicious flavor.
• & the sausages were simply out?of?this?world.
Pair that with a warm, lively atmosphere & you've got the perfect spot for a laid?back night out.
Pro tip: swing by after 9 PM & dive into their'30 Menu.' It's abundantly served, exquisitely balanced, & the best way to taste a little bit of everything Papito does best. Trust me-your taste buds (& friends) will thank you! 🌟🍽?
Had a great evening at Papito's. Great space for larger groups & loved the big bar with lots of bar space for dining too! Cocktails were really great & food was delicious. Would highly recommend it!
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.
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.

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
Si vous ne l'avez pas encore essayé c'est une petite pépite du centre ville!
Le p'tit nouveau de l'équipe du Furco nous régale avec une carte de viandes grillées au charbon, un choix de légume tous aussi bon les uns que les autres & des desserts super bien balancés.
Nous étions installés au bar & le service était très relax & sympathique.
Nous avons choisi le Denver de wagu, les pleurotes frites, un celeri rémoulade Jalapeno (une tuerie! J'en rêve encore mon hit de la soirée) & le patate douce au bleu...
Bref une adresse que je recommande & à laquelle je retournerai certainement 😁
