Review Summary

Papito Restaurant receives praise for generous, shareable portions and a menu that highlights charcoal grilled meats, with standout duck and lamb, along with tasty sides and a strong wine and cocktail list. The atmosphere is described as lively and festive, with a terrace and multiple seating areas that add to the vibe, though the space can be loud and conversation can be difficult during busy times. Service is often described as attentive and friendly when well run, but reviews mention occasional slow service or communication gaps around reservations, and a variable level of attention from staff. Prices are sometimes noted as high for portion size, especially when meals are shared, but many reviewers feel the overall value and quality justify the cost. Overall, Papito Restaurant is viewed as a top choice for meat lovers and social dining, delivering delicious, well-prepared dishes, vibrant flavors, and a memorable, energetic experience, with caveats about noise and planning to share plates.

Comment vous dire que c'est un EXCELLENT restaurant. Je recommande à 100%. Le service, la nourriture, l'ambiance. J'y suis allée deux fois & les deux fois j'ai été épatée.

Une délicieuse découverte ! Les plats sont raffinés & exquis. Félix, le serveur, nous a offert un service impeccable tout en nous faisant profiter de sa connaissance des vins . Je recommande vivement ce restaurant ! Ce fut une très belle expérience.

On y est allé déjà à trois reprises. Le menu change régulièrement. L'été est probablement la meilleure saison pour aller faire une visite chez Papito étant donné la fraîcheur des produits de saison.

Pas que les produits ne sont pas bons en hiver, simplement que les produits de légumes seront sans doute marinés.

Les viandes sont toujours bien cuisinées & la carte des vins est bien connus par nos serveurs. Leurs suggestions valent la peine d'être écoutées.

Je suggère d'y aller en grand nombre [4 ou +] pour une expérience plus élargie.

Loved it. Ordered the Beetroot Starter which is enough for 4 pax to share.

Duck & lamb chops with the gravy. It was plenty for 2 pax. 1 cocktail, 1 wine. Bill with tax without tips came up to CAD 130+
Affordable.

Excellent restaurant, parfait avant un spectacle. Les portions étaient généreuses, nous avons partagés les keftas & la brochette de poulet avec une salade de concombres & c'était amplement pour deux personnes. Le cocktail avec du jus de pamplemousse & pisco (Nobe?) était délicieux. L'été ils ont une superbe terrasse.

Le service était lent, on nous a expliqué que c'était pas habituel alors on nous a donné des shots gratuits pour la table mais ils étaient horribles… ils goûtaient le fond d'évier. Sinon la nourriture était excellente le problème était plutôt le système de partage parce qu'en partageant avec la table t'es pas sur d'en avoir pour ton argent, à moins que les personnes à la table soient respectueux c'est dur d'avoir les mêmes portions de nourriture. Le serveur nous a expliqué que pour des bonnes portions il faudrait mettre 50$ par personne & +. L'ambiance était très bruyante & on ne s'entendait pas parler c'était très chaotique. On avait eu un problème de réservation à cause d'un manque de communication entre le propriétaire & celui qui a réservé c'était un peu désordonné mais ils ont fini par nous faire une place.

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!

I ordered the lamb & duck. The food was good & tasty. The duck was juicy & the lamb was seared beautifully. It's good but it's just a little bit expensive for the portions.

Food & service were great, it was just too loud to be able to have a conversation without yelling.

Went here for mtl a table & it exceeded expectations. They modified their original menu for the event, so all the food was well tested & delicious. Service was quick & friendly. Lots of space & would be a good location for a group.

Considering wood is used we found the food quite ordinary. There is waaaay better chicken in this city. Service was mediocre. The appetizer had several things going on but nothing audible was explained, just dumped onto the table. At this price, that's not the service level we expect...in addition to cutting our initial server's shift I suspect to save a few dollars on labour, at our expense.
