Reviews of Le Vin Papillon (Winery)

Alex Samson

(Translated) Unusual culinary experience! (Original) Expérience culinaire hors du commun!

Benjamin Dupas

(Translated) Good experience in this typically French restaurant! The wine and the "small" plates were very good. For the wine, it lacked full-bodied wine to go with the cheese ????. Small flat, the wine is relatively more expensive than in other places. Otherwise it was????! We recommend ???? (Original) Bon expérience dans ce restaurant typiquement français ! Le vin et les "petites" assiettes étaient très bons. Pour le vin, ça manquait de vin corsé pour aller avec le fromage ????. Petit bémol, le vin est relativement plus cher qu'à d'autres places. Sinon c'était???? ! On recommande ????

Always amazing seasonal dishes. Go with their wine recommendations.

Thanassis Veggos

I'm not sure where the people who wrote good reviews actually ate but my wife and I were totally disillusioned and completely disatisfied. Firstly you cannot see a menu online before deciding to make reservations to "eat" there. What are you people trying hide eh?!! It seems they want to lure people in and then hit the them with an exhorbitantly priced menu visible only when you are seated. High prices are one thing and are kind of expected for "Haute Cuisine" but the quantities of each dish were meant for anorexic Shmurfs! - $22 for a veal brochette whose weight was half that of a stingy Italian Nona's meatball! - 20 odd dollars for two microscopic scallops that were the size of garden snails. -$14 for 4 tiny carrots Bugs Bunny would be ashamed to serve his sworn enemy Yosemite Sam! I could go on .... But I think I've made my point. If you like spending oogles of money and leaving starved this is definitely the place for you! I prefer a place that is more transparent with their offerings so they can be judged before you get bamboozled into eating there. My recommendation STAY AWAY or give your money to charity.

(Translated) Ham with cheddar cheese! Excellent service, waiter with great knowledge of his products. (Original) Jambon au cheddar! Excellent service, serveur avec grande connaissance de ses produits.

Melodie Cohn

This place is fun, but a bit expensive

G Leduc

(Translated) The bin and the food are very good! You have to take the classics! The agreements are perfect. However, the service is average. For a bill of $ 300 for two I expect better service. (Original) Le bin et la bouffe sont très bon! Il faut prendre les classiques! Les accords sont parfaits. Par contre le service est moyen. Pour une facture de 300$ à deux je m'attends à un meilleur service.

Terence Madode

Delicious dishes to share in a good atmosphere and a good selection of wines as well

Cameron Holder

Unique dishes and terrace. About $30-35pp for food.

Annie Elliott

Yum yum yum! Worth the wait (no reservations taken) I would recommend the carrot eclair and my boyfriend loved the jamon. Highly recommend. They also have orange wine.

Rafi Lokma

(Translated) Good service, but can be improved. The dishes are excellent, but very summery. A menu adapted for winter (-25) would be very appreciated ... We will be back this summer! (Original) Bon service, mais peut être amélioré. Les plats sont excellents, mais très estival. Un menu adapté pour l’hiver (-25) serait très apprécié... Nous reviendrons cet été !

Great restaurant! I went a couple of week ago. The food is delicious, the staff if lovely! if you eat gluten free the will accommodate the dishes for you but They are not gluten free certified.

Carrie Shevelson

Interesting and delicious small plates. Plenty of vegetarian options. Surprising wines. The roasted cauliflower dish was excellent.

Matthew H

Best restaurant in Montreal, classic French bistro, very reasonably priced food, extensive wine list, same owners/locale as Joe Beef

Dj Unite

Don't take the yellow wine! It's mixed with cheap alcohol! Tastes like you are drinking oil! Not a romantic venew, better for business or quick stop.

Cynthia Alphonse

My favorite wine bar in Montreal! The wine list is impressive and the food is not to be overlooked: quality and fresh ingredients. No reservations, so come early or be patient, it’s worth the wait!

Kyle Trotter

One of the best spots in town.

Sheema Esmail

Amazing! The jambon is a must!

Sam Kumar

Each dish here is a master creation with layers of flavors but at the same time so simple and elegant. Can't wait to revisit.

Jason Lee Pack

Wow! The food here is to die for. The ham and cheese was so good and I hate ham! Get everything, nothing disappoints. Try the orange wine!

H B

We make sure to hit this spot every time we come to Montreal. This walk in only sister to Joe Beef carries the same flavor and beauty with a wine bar garden feel. My best tip for this place? Try everything and take the wine suggestions.

Dan Fang

great service and food is good. I don’t know French at all and couldn’t figure out the menu in chalk board , the server explained all dishes to us with great patience

Rose stmnd

(Translated) Disappointment with our experience and the popularity of the restaurant. Despite the hard times the restaurant was full! (With the restrictions very well respected!) good service in the dining room! On the other hand, The fish was overcooked. Then I had a hard time seeing the ham & ham slicer on a small table in the middle of a corridor of people passing endlessly. He was out in the open and too close to people during the 2 hours we were there. I don't know how to do it I have to admit, but I felt like something was wrong and normally it should be tightened and cleaned after each use. The waiter told me that I didn't have to worry and that it was cleaning up at the end of the evening ...... In short! You are the experts but at the sight of a simple client and with the closeness of anyone who passes by, it worried me :) (Original) Déception face à notre expérience et la popularité du restaurant. Malgré les temps dur le resto était plein! (Avec les restrictions très bien respectées!) bon service en salle! Parcontre, Le poisson était trop cuit. Puis j'ai eu de la misère a voir la trancheuse à jambon & le jambon sur une petite table en plein milieu d'un corridor de gens qui passent sans cesse. Il était à l'air libre et a trop près des gens pendant les 2 heures que nous étions là. Je ne m'y connais pas je dois l'avouer mais j'avais l'impression que quelque chose clochait et que normalement ça devrait être serré et nettoyer après chaque utilisation. Le serveur m'a dit que je n'avais pas a m'inquiéter et que c'était nettoyer à la fin de la soirée...... Bref! Vous êtes les experts mais à la vue d'une simple cliente et avec la proximité tellement grande de n'importe qui qui passe a côté, ça m'a inquiété :)

Beautiful terrace, delicious food

Jimmy Spencer

Really Really Really like Really crowded..like eating in an airplane with only middle seats..and, Noisy like really really really Noisy..like eating next to that airplane which is always in a state of taking off..The food is meh, the portions are insanely small..even for tapas..like.one egg cut in half.. for 14 dollars..True Story!! Lots of wine choices though..and a staff constantly trying to upsell you..also..this was a Wednesday night during a sleet storm and it was packed.. The amount of tables in this tiny place screams money grab. Do not waste your time with this hipster scam hole..Diallos which is right next store is 1000 times better.

When I heard that this bar is owned by the owner of Joe beef, I thought it would be great. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. I waited at the door for an hour and half before getting a table to drink a very average wine and eat a very …

Katie Keegin

Awesome. I had a tomato dish with cheese...tomatoes from their garden! And the jambon toast. Amazing. It was salty and crunch and perfect. I was just looking for a snack and it was exactly what I wanted but might not be the right place for dinner. Wish I had a place like this in my hometown!

Loik Cyr

Amazing food, the wine selection is amazing (lots of crazy nature wine, orange wine, etc.. that you won't find anywhere else!) amazing beer selection as well (Auval we see you!). Just try it

Andrea Downes

Knowledgable staff, good wines, yummy food and unique choices

Love the tapas food. Must try ham and cheese plate.

Steve Ruis

We had a fantastic visit here. Even though it is a tight space they welcomed our party of 5 in and with great hospitality, got us started in whatever space was available until a couple tables opened up. Expert staff guided us through a night of food sharing and enjoyment. An ever evolving food and beverage menue this is a must visit for foodies when in Montreal!

Guy Napert-Frenette

Amazing food, great wine. Outside patio is spectacular!

Dorian Baldwin

The staff assist in pairing wine with their fabulous food and their selections are impeccable. I have never had a bad dish here. Wish I could award more than 5 stars. They deserve it.

Daniel Ustinov

Small creative plates, great for sharing. Prices are good, especially for the quality of food. Amazing service and presentation. The space is a little too dark and there is no menu which can make ordering difficult if you're not used to that.

Daniel Montpetit

This restaurant is pretty much perfection. Super tasty vegetable based dishes served small plate style. Local and super fresh ingredients. Creative cuisine, outstanding service and a unique wine list. Desserts were also incredible. Please try the rotisserie cauliflower and any mushroom dishes.

Emilia Vinette

What can I say, this place is an institution. You can't go wrong - every item on the menu will probably be executed beautifully and will taste pretty darn great. More vegetarian focused than its sister restaurants Joe Beef and Liverpool House but the quality is there. Almost a riff on a tapas bar - small plates so you can try more. All local produce and passionate staff. An absolute must!

Claire Echenberg

(Translated) I warmly recommend this wine bar. The vegetable-oriented dishes are fresh and delicious and there is an interesting choice of plain wines. Special mention to the ham! (Original) Je recommande chaleureusement ce bar à vin. Les plats orientés autour des légumes sont frais et délicieux et il y a un choix intéressant de vins natures. Mention spéciale au jambon!

Yvens B

I went for my birthday and it was a mixed experience due to a myriad of factors. I have a wine intolerance (it's severe) and I asked the waiter if there's any wine in any of the meals. I usually ask that to be able to skip the restaurant if 90% of the items contains some - no biggie I understand the intricacies of a kitchen plus ky intolerance is rare. She tells me none of the menu items have some. Perfect. I proceed to order a drink (large local bottled beer) and my order. She comes back to me with my drink first. Few minutes later, she's back with the news that EVERYTHING I ordered is cooked in wine. I'm limited to less than 3-5 items so there goes my experience. Because it took time to sort it out and we couldn't make other reservations, I had to resort to eating some items that were not appealing to me. I'm aggravated and stuck here. Food was ok - perhaps the fact that I was really angry made it taste less good. All in all, the fact that the waitres couldn't bother to take 2 minutes to 2x check with her kitchen to back her claim was truly frustrating. I would have happily skipped without any frustrations Vin Papillon knowing that fact when I asked. If this is was entrapment feels like, then I now know. Thank you for ruining my birthday! Won't be going back because of the severe ball drop. Other people seemed to enjoy their experience.

Alex Innes

AWESOME! Plates meant for sharing and great natural wine selection. Go for it!

Marc Dansereau

Amazing!!!!

Kevin Widmer

Very tasty small plates. Had to wait too long to be seated (90min). Great wine list. 5 star food and service.

Alexandro Rubio

Great to go and try different things in the menu. The shaved cheese and ham are great, although their wine selection is a bit overpriced for what it is. The food is very tasty, just be prepared to order several things since portions are quite small.

Ethan Cox

Absolutely the best fine dining experience I’ve had yet in Montréal. Worth every penny.

Evija Sundman

A feast for the senses. Lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious.

Antoine Regis

(Translated) I would like to be able to give a more detailed and complete opinion on my bill, but unfortunately we were unable to enter the establishment. It is indicated that the Vin Papillon closes its doors around midnight, we went there on a Saturday evening around 11:15 pm to taste a bottle of wine. Immediately at the gate we were intercepted by none other than David McMillan (owner of the establishment). We ask him if it is possible to return in order to drink a last bottle before closing, his answer was brief "You must eat in order to be able to order a bottle". So I tell him that we are ready to order a dish or two so that we can order a bottle. Suddenly, he changes his speech to tell us that they are closed !! It is clearly indicated that they close around midnight. In short, it's a shame because I heard very good things about this establishment and following this incident due to a tone of arrogance, the restaurant has just fallen very low in my list of next culinary destinations in Montreal . I hope you will see this message because we did not like it coming from a Chef also known in Quebec. (Original) J'aimerais pouvoir donner un avis plus détaillé et complet par rapport à ma note, mais malheureusement nous n'avons pas pu rentrer dans l'établissement. Il est indiqué que le Vin Papillon ferme ses portes vers minuit, nous y sommes rendus un samedi soir vers 23h15 afin de déguster une bouteille de vin. Immédiatement, à la porte nous avons été interceptés par nulle autre que David McMillan (propriétaire de l'établissement). Nous lui demandons s'il est possible de rentrer afin de boire une dernière bouteille avant la fermeture, sa réponse fût brève ''Vous devez manger afin de pouvoir commandé une bouteille''. Alors, je lui dit que nous sommes prêts à commandé un plat ou deux afin de pouvoir commandé une bouteille. Soudainement, il change son dicours pour nous dire qu'ils sont fermés !! Il est bien indiqué qu'ils ferment vers minuit. Bref, c'est très dommage car j'ai entendu de très bonnes choses par rapport à cet établissement et suite à cet incident dû à un ton d'arrogance, le restaurant vient de tomber bien bas dans ma liste de prochaines destinations culinaires à Montréal. J'espère que vous verrez ce message car cela nous a bien déplût venant de la part d'un Chef aussi connu au Québec.

Amazing

Tyler Gould

If there is a better way to spend an afternoon then drinking good wine and snacking down on delicious snacks, I haven't found it, and Le Vin Papillon has both in spades!

Renaldo Cesta

(Translated) Yes always! Great wine selection. Top service and food five stars. (Original) Oui toujours! Formidable sélection de vins. Service top et nourriture cinq étoiles.

Jason Entine

Wonderful. Staff were great. Food is better

Drew Hunt

Excellent service. Knowledgable staff. I sat on the terrace where it was less crowded. Wine was choice. I had the quiche with ham, which was divine. A most excellent, enjoyable meal for you and a couple friends.

Martin Leroux

If you're a foodie/natural wine drinker this is your place. No reservations, so show up early and be prepared to wait. Wasn't as pricey as I expected - small plates in the 10-20$ range - but the food is really good. Some flavors/textures were surprising/unexpected, so if you've got an open mind you'll love it here. We were seated at the bar, our bartender knew her extensive wine list very well and was helpful and friendly. They also get rare beers like Auval every once in a while, so heads up! I wouldn't suggest showing up here with a group of 5 or more, but it's a perfect date spot.

Lovely place. Had to go due to all the hype but if you do be sure to temper your expectations. The food was very good and layered in it's flavors but it's almost like an elevated pub in it's vibe and presentation. Nothing wrong with that I just had different expectations.

Thomas C

Calisse que c'tait bon! This is a hell of a place, go early, it gets packed. Food is phenomenal and the ambience is very romantic. You just can't go wrong in this cozy place although I will say it was insanely packed...which is perfect for meeting people. :) Merci!

Faith Shamonda

I love everything about this place. The quality of food, the presentation, the service, the wine. Exceptional.

Pierre Couture

To me this is #1 on my list of the best restaurant in the world. Not fancy, no fla-fla, just the tastiest food you can imagine. Marco, the chef, is so creative, every time I try a new plate, I can't believe how perfectly the flavors are mixed. The prices are very reasonable for the quality. Best set-up is to sit at the bar and ask Max to select wine and food for you. My only problem is that I always use this place as a benchmark for other restaurants... hard to find a better place. Favorites: Smoked Strugeon, sea urchins, chicken wings, bbq cauliflower... and the wines from Beaujolais!

Very... whimsical.

Majd Khaldi

Some of the best food and drinks I've ever had anywhere. Come early or else good luck trying to get seats (especially on the terrace out in the back). Service staff were courteous, friendly, and knew their stuff. A great time overall.

T. Costa

Probably one of the best restaurants in Montreal

Michael Osborne

I've been there three times now and I've never been disappointed. Every dish is always delicious. The wines are unique and the recommendations are always spot on. The menu changes with the seasons. The desserts are also great and don't just feel like they were added as an afterthought. It's a little pricey but otherwise highly recommended.

Laurence Gribling

(Translated) Really good. The food is excellent (I highly recommend the sandwich of cold-smoked carrots) and the service is impeccable (special mention to Alex who gave us excellent recommendations). (Original) Vraiment bien. Les plats sont excellents (je recommande fortement le sandwich de carottes fumées à froid) et le service est impeccable (mention spéciale à Alex qui nous a donné d’excellentes recommendations).

Ginette Mailhot

Only small problem: do not take the reservation :-( (Original) Intime, menu inspirant de genre tapas pouvant être partagés, on adore! Les employés sont vraiment sympatiques et à notre service!

Philippe Auclair

(Translated) One of the best places in town, impeccable service, incredible wine list, one of the rare places to drink Pinard et Filles. No reservation, first come first served. (Original) Une des meilleurs places en villes, service impeccable, cartes des vins hallucinante, un des rares endroits pour boire du Pinard et Filles. Pas de réservation, premier arrivé premier servit.

Olivier Perras

Concise menu and everything was delicious! It's a wine bar so keep in mind they have no liquors and beers. The staff was super friendly!

René Z

Small dishes that sound interesting more interesting than they are and cost more than they should.

Kaitlynn Alarie

Amazing dinning experience. We came quite early to ensure we got a table and did not have to wait. Very cute and inviting decor. The service staff was very friendly and helpful. They suggested great wine pairing and aided us with our selection on dishes. Wine was excellent and a pleasant departure from the norm. We shared three dishes. The classic ham and cheese plate, a roasted broccoli, and a roasted leg of chicken. Pleasant spin on old table favourites. We had a wonderful evening. I would 10/10 recommend. Come early for the best seating experience

Mathieu Laliberté

(Translated) Excellent wine, excellent food. The portions are small but not too expensive for the quality. It's still a relatively expensive restaurant (hard to have a bill of less than $ 70 / person in my opinion if you order more than a bottle), so be warned. (Original) Excellent vin, excellente nourriture. Les portions sont petites mais pas trop dispendieuses pour la qualité. C'est tout de même un restaurant qui coûte relativement cher (dur d'avoir une facture de moins de 70$/personne à mon avis si vous commandez plus qu'une bouteille), alors soyez prévenus.

Amazing food especially if you are the vegetarian type. Wine selection is exaustive and staff are really good at pairing them with your choice of food!

(Translated) Ok I'm not really a wine guy but I know they have a great selection of great wines. The food. Ok. Seriously, that was amazing. The smoked sturgeon and ham was so in yeule. I walked in and out like a changed man. All my next meals are going to be really dull and we have to have Vin Papillon. Very good service also the waiter was very chill. 10/10, 5 stars bing bang go ahead without hesitation!

Très bon service aussi le serveur était très chill. 10/10, 5 étoiles bing bang vas-y sans hésité !

This place changed how I feel about celeriac. Vegetables expertly prepared, peculiar wines out the wazoo. A destination restaurant to be sure, but one worth the trip.

Joanie Metivier

I love this wine bar! It has an hipster vibe to it, with menu on chalk board ( which I hate by the way, it's unacceptable, hipster or not) but the quality of the food and wines made me forget the other details. Our waitress was very helpful and ended up choosing for us since we couldn't see the damn chalk board menu. The food felt healthy but impressively tasty and paired perfectly with the wines which were all so fresh and lively. It is a bit expensive, and the food is in small plates to share. It might be a better option for lunch or just before a show like us than for a full diner as it can get pricey in the end. There was a good diversity in the choices even if they were limited and all very creative. My favorite part was at the end, we took a cheese plate. We had three different kind and each and everyone of them were so flavorful. One of them, called époisses was particularly strong, smooth and amazing.

Pearson Falkner

Went here on my birthday and can say I was very pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious (the Jambon de Petite Bourgogne is a must!) and arrived on reasonably sized plates (tapas style). The waiters were also very good at suggesting and pairing wines with food. All in all one of my best restaurant experiences ever! A must for foodies :)

Michael Davis

An overpriced and underwhelming 2/3 of a ham sandwich.

Anton Samoilik

Excellent and amazing. Had dinner here and just did not want to read the menu, that’s why was offered a “my-favorite-and-popular-appetizers” flight by the waitress. I loved every bite of what she brought to the table. If you are ever there, just go for the flight and let the taste lead you through the night!

Mina Hrz

Great food. Never seen anything like it before. Feels like having a French medieval experience. Everything was really tasty. Please give us stake knives tho. Cutting through things with a butter knife is kinda ridiculous at a 100$/ person meal ;)

Antoine Fillion

(Translated) Extraordinary. The wine is incredible. Better to go there or get to the Spanish around 9h00-10h30 so as not to wait too long. The experience is worth the detour, however. Food and desert top! (Original) Extraordinaire. Le vin est incroyable. Préférable d'y aller ou arriver à l'espagnole vers 9h00-10h30 pour ne pas à attendre trop longtemps. L'expérience en vaut le détour néanmoins. Bouffe et désert top !

It doesnt really get better for wine and small plates. I love the food and staff; highly recommended.

AMAZING food and wine. Very friendly staff and good location. Bit of a wait, but it was expected, and the staff do a good job of finding you a place to drink some wine while you’re waiting for a table (we shared the chef’s counter!).

Perfect wine and food that is all.

Benoit Martel

(Translated) Nice restaurant and nice atmosphere, varied and delicious menu. Small tapas-style dishes, and not cheap. Small problem to read it because it is displayed only on a blackboard at one end of the restaurant, so you have to get up. Good choice of wine but still only there on a table. It annoys me these tables. (Original) Jolie resto et belle ambiance menu varié et délicieux. Petit plats genre tapas, et pas donné. Petit problème à le lire car il est affiché seulement sur un tableau noir à un bout du resto, donc il faut se lever. Bon choix de vin mais encore là seulement sur un tableau. Moi ça m'agace ces tableaux.

Genevieve Mathieu

(Translated) We let the waitress decide our menu and our wines, and absolutely no regrets! It was delicious from A to Z. I highly recommend it. (Original) On a laissé la serveuse décider de notre menu et de nos vins, et absolument aucun regret! Ce fût délicieux de A à Z. Je recommande chaudement.

OMG! Such a great pairing of wine and food. Fresh local ingredients are matches with fun and unusual wines from around the world. The staff is knowledgable and so very fun. A really great evening

Karla Lockwood

Delicious food and wine, a little pricey.

Minh Quang Tran

Food was great with an amazing selection of wine. We will come back!

We went on a tuesday, were welcomed very fast with a cute table, but were told we had to read the menu off the wall. Between the people at the bar and two couples seated at tables, it was pretty awkward. So awkward we left right away. I like to sit at a table and relax while looking at the menu. Maybe thats just me.

Nothing but love for this place. The wine and the food was just spectacular. Love the ambience - even though it's busy. Would recommend to go there in groups of 2 because it's a small place. Get the ham and cheese dish - it's really really good!

Delicious food, wonderful service and a great win selection. Cozy place to have an intimate dinner with friends

(Translated) Very nice place, courteous and friendly service. Superb dishes and wines. By cons, VERY noisy when the restaurant is full. And also, refusing AMEX in 2018 in such a restaurant is an absurdity that only makes the customer uncomfortable at the end of the meal to find other payment options when they were told that they accept cards credit . (Original) Très bel endroit , service courtois et convivial . Plats et vins superbes . Par contre , TRÈS bruyant quand le resto est plein . Et aussi , refuser AMEX en 2018 dans un tel resto est une absurdité qui ne fait que rendre le client mal à l'aise en fin de repas pour trouver d'autres options de paiement quand on lui a pourtant dit qu'on acceptait les cartes de credit .

Sorry to say but this restaurant is extremely overrated. Would never return nor recommend it to anybody. I have no idea how this place has such a good overall rating. The hostess was rude off the bat and would not seat me at a table until my date arrived only minutes later after parking the car. The quality of food is average AT BEST and it all tastes the same. We ordered a variety of their suggested "house specialties" and not one of them was a good choice, not even the salad. How do you mess up a salad? The food was all cold and there was no forewarning about this during the explanation of the menu. We also ordered the bass and nowhere was it indicated that it was raw (ceviche), which neither of us eat. When we informed the waiter he immediately took the full plate away but still charged us for it... overall this place seems to want to be different so they play around with the dishes but not one of them is, in our opinion, successful or good. Mediocre would be being generous. This dinner ruined the remainder of our night. We barely ate anything because it was hardly edible. Very disappointing meal!

I was visiting Montreal for the weekend getaway; I've checked out the place; it's imposing! The wine bar is my ideal place and spends time after work. I will definitely come back once, I move to Montreal.

Alfredo Cárdenas

Menu and ambiance are catchy. However, please don't take the wine here. 60$ for a bottle with a quality of 2$, or less. They don't offer any test before to engage. The waiter will cover you with an big speech trying to convince you the wine is so enjoyable. Please don't.

Lisa George

Excellent for plates to share. It is best to have a look at the menu and let your server know a few dishes that appeal to you, then allow them to tailor the meal for your tastes. You will not be disappointed. The carrot eclair is particularly tasty, as is the shaved ham. The wine list is extensive, so again, be open with your server about your tastes and they will present you with options. You will be allowed to taste before you choose your wine. The setting is quiet lovely but be aware the tables are close together. Usually if you arrive between 6 and 7 PM you should have no issues being seated.

(Translated) It is not for nothing that this restaurant appears in the best in Canada. In my Top 3 in Montreal: the atmosphere is good, the music is good, we like the servers (all without exception and let them decide for you, they know what they serve) the dishes are surprising and absolutely delicious and the quality is consistent despite regular menu changes. In my eyes, this is the restaurant that manages to work the vegetables the best and make you want (even these meat lovers) to order more. Be patient for a table, take advantage of the wine list (a little expensive by the glass, however) and do not miss the classics that remain on the menu (this ham from the little burgundy that melts in your mouth) ... if you are lucky you will end the evening with bingale fires! (Original) Ce n'est pas pour rien que ce resto apparaît dans les meilleurs au Canada. Dans mon Top 3 à Montreal: l'ambiance est bien, la musique est bonne, on aime les serveurs (tous sans exception et laisser les décider pour vous, ils savent ce qu'ils servent) les plats sont surprenants et absolument délicieux et la qualité est constance malgré les changements régulier de menu. À mes yeux cest le resto qui parvient à travailler le mieux les légumes et donner envie (même à ces lovers de viande) d'en commander plus. Soyez patients pour une table, profitez de la carte de vins (un peu chère au verre toutefois) et ne manquez pas les classiques qui restent sur la carte (ce jambon de la petite bourgogne qui fond dans la bouche)... si vous êtes chanceux vous terminerez p-e la soirée avec des feux de bingales!

Samantha Day

Our first time here but certainly not our last. If i could give more than 5 stars i would. We went here on a Saturday night around 8 pm, there weres two groups in front of us but the host took care of everyone, we were informed it would be about a 30 min wait for a table and we're offered a glass of wine while we waited. I dont even think we waited the whole 30 mins before two seats opened up. We sat at the bar. The waitress was very helpfull in explaing our wine choices to us and helped us pick a great bottle of red. The food was out of this world, although i never doubted that it would be. All of the Joe Beef family is amazing. We shared four dishes in total, two meat. And two veggie. We shared Shaved ham with parmesan and a bbq chicken leg. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the rice was a little spicy but my huaband lived the flavour. The ham practically melted in our mouth. Our veggie dished stood out on their own but the winner was the white asparagus served cold with a goat cheese pesto. I could have ordered that twice, it was probably the best dish of the night. The othe was a grilled Zuchinni... I dont remeber too mcuh about that, except that it was delicious. They do have a small dessert list but we skipped it that night. Over all an amazing experience, i would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice night out.

Alexandre Lupien

Top 5 restaurant in Canada !

Annette Glass

Honestly, I have no idea what people are thinking to give in to the hype. One person reviewed this being served table scraps and could not have been more correct. We ordered the asparagus carbonara and it was served as chopped asparagus in a gravy. I envisioned beautiful long cooked green spears dressed with some light cream and a perfectly poached egg on top and breadcrumbs for crunch. What we got was an actual bread size plate of gravy veg all for $13. All the beers are not listed as cans, and I ordered a rose that came in a large magnum bottle bottle with the price tag of $25 on it and they were serving 5oz for $13! We may be spoiled coming from NYC but honestly this place is making a killing on portion sizes allowing people to over pay for mediocre food and wine. To their defense they did take the beer off the bill since my partner wasn’t warned it was a can and was not prepared to pay $9 for a 16oz can of beer. Service was nice and accommodating but I am not here for just the service. I really wanted to be wowed but was extremely disheartened to what they were serving.

SERVICE 5/5 I FORGOT HIS NAME, BUT HE GAVE US SUCH GREAT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FOOD AND WINE. HE WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE MENU AND SPECIALS. WE STARTED W.A SCALLOP APPETIZER THAT HAD SLICED CUCUMBERS AND DILL. LIGHT, REFRESHING AND REALLY HIGHLIGHTS E SCALLOP TASTE (5/5). JAMBON & CHEESE (THINLY SHAVED SMOKED HAM) WITH CHEESE AND TRUFFLE OIL. WE ENJOYED THIS DISH A LOT! 5/5 SMOKED CARROT ECLAIR 3/5 THIS DISH WAS A BIT WEIRD FOR US..SWEET LIKE A DESSERT BUT CARROTS.. THE ECLAIR GOT A BIT SOGGY.. ROASTED CAULIFLOWER 3/5 THIS DISH COULDVE BEEN EXECUTED A LITTLE DFFERENTLY. SINCE THE ENTIRE HEAD WAS ROASTED AS A WHOLE, IT WAD SO HEAVILY CHARRED IT TASTED TOO BURNT AND BITTER..WHILE THE REST OF THE CAULI WAS A BIT UNDERCOOKED. THE CAPERS GAVE IT A NICE FLAVOUR BOOST BUT IT WAS DEEP FRIED AND TOO OILY.. MAYBE ROASTING IT TOO? GRILLED CHICKEN W.STRING BEANS & CARROT PUREE 4/5 THIS DISH WAS GOOD, A BIT UNDER SEASONED BUT THE CARROT PUREE GAVE IT A SWEET TASTE. THE CHICKEN WAS JUICY AND THE SKIN WAS CRISPY! GRILLED/SMOKED RIBS 4/5 A TAD UNDER SEASONED BUT IT WAS JUICY AND TENDER! WE ALL LIKED THE RIBS THE BEST AMONGST THE MAINS WE ORDERED. THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL EVENING LE VIN PAPILLON!

Good takeout options

Javier Hidalgo

Unfortunately, we had a bad experience with the food and service. We tried around 5 dishes and nothing impressive. We also ordered the chicken wings plate. We received 1 wing without any flavor/sauce. When we mentioned to the waitress that we were disappointed by the wing, she indicated we order 1 wing and not the plate so they served us 1 wing without sauce. Please be careful pronouncing "s" to wings! Unfortunately, no solution or option were offered to us for the waitress' mistake. She also told us after we had food that we should have ordered specific plates together to have a better tasting experience. Too bad this was not mentioned to us when we ordered. Personally, I think the place is overrated. Wines are not good at all.

One of the best restaurant in Montreal. The food is Absolutely delicious ! Some dishes so simple yet do flavorful. The decor is quite charming and they have a lovely terasse out in the back. And the service and staff, as fantastic as the food. Note that they do not take any reservation and that the restaurant is quite small.

William Dietz

This is a can't miss spot in Montreal. The wines by the glass switch almost daily and the menu follows the seasons. This is a great place for 2-4 for a really fun and intimate dining experience. The staff will make you feel absolutely at home and their recommendations always satisfy. High quality ingredients with simple preparation make for outstanding small bites.

Jesse Badger

Amazing wine program, food, and service. There are a lot of choices for food and by the glass wines, but don't be afraid to ask the staff to pick for you.

Leopold Thebault

Rather pleased. This 'Wine Bar' makes you wait a while before you get to sit, but once you're comfortable the service is not too slow. There is a wide range of original dishes that seem to be changed around every once in a while. These are not too expensive and all very tasty (I did find one dish to have too much salt). The wine, on the other hand is quite expensive, do anywhere over a glass may hurt your wallet. This is a 'must-try', a wonderful experience where each dish is more surprising than the previous!

Vin Papillon is a good spot known for their wine list and creative smaller dishes. They do not take reservations and won’t seat you until all members of the party are present. The menu is only presented as below on the chalkboard (a concept I still don’t really understand, though appreciate for the environmental friendliness). The food was good and the service was excellent. We had ordered the Brussels sprouts and “beer cheese,” which turned out to be much too overpowering with a blue cheese taste, and without question the waiter removed it from the table and bill. Nice atmosphere!

Claudia Taylor

Guy G. Beaudry

Best Bio wines list anywhere in Montreal. Great veggie dishes. Original. Must go!

Claude La Roque

Charming setting under canopies in a funky downtown alley way in downtown Montréal... how can you go wrong. The food of course inspired and solid from the Joe Beef brotherhood. The service although efficient was overly fussy & totally lacking warmth and soul. Prices reflect the quality of the food offerings but the $69 wine available online for $16 was excessively marked up but an excellent Sicilian choice. Warmt & sincerity in the front of the house for me is essential and unfortunately lacking on my first visit.

Ate here last night with family. Obviously a very busy restaurant and for good reason, most of the food was tasty enough for sure. Service fantastic, attentive and super quick. We waited over 45 mins for a table which was our decision so that’s fair enough. We were told the wine we ordered was $65 max and the bill showed $90, so that was very disappointing. I found some of the food to be a little “style over substance” to be honest. Nothing terribly bad here but I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here again.

Annemarie IJkema

I absolutely love this place. It's always great to come here. No need to book ( you can't) and they have nice food, always adaptable for vegans and good wine by the glass. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable despite being young. A must if you visit Montreal.

The food was good but not great. There are many restaurants in Montreal with comparable food. Our experience was not great because they stuck us at the end of the bar next to the bathroom where there was only one place. I had to sit sideways at the end if the bar. The hostess was very rude and shut us down without even hearing our question. It seems that they are victim of their success. There were clearly not enough places for the amount of people they were seating. 4 people at a table for two. One eating on the corner of the table. I was quite disappointed.

Vicky Do

(Translated) The service here is impeccable. The servers know each dish / dessert to the letter, so do not hesitate to ask for a description if the name is too ambiguous. They are also all very quick and friendly. The atmosphere is nice, with music not too loud, dim light and we accept children here! The restaurant offers a diversified beverage menu and allows us to taste the different wines before making our choice over a glass. Here are my comments for each dish: Chicken of love in escabeche: very tender and juicy chicken with a slightly crispy skin accompanied by a thickened sauce and whole pieces of hazelnuts. A dish generally good, but the sauce is too concentrated for my taste which tends to take precedence over the other ingredients. Eclair of smoked carrots: it seems that carrots are supposed to mimic smoked salmon, but it was less successful tonight. They tasted more of carrot, but it was pleasantly crisp. The cream coming with the dill and crispy buttered pieces complimented very well. Potatoes rattes, hollandaise aux urchins: group of small potatoes cooked, partially, see very little, covered with a hollandaise sauce which had a more creamy texture and containing more butters than sea urchin. I didn't taste a sea urchin at all. In addition, the dish comes with salted ikura caviar, which tends to bury the Dutch. I wish I had more sea urchins. Estugeon boucanné, gnocchi frittas: 3 black fried gnocchi with a sturgeon paté. I would say my favorite savory dish of the four. The gnocchi is fresh, hot, crisp and soft inside, perfectly complimenting the sturgeon. It is a must-have here. Sundae "Creamsicle" with blood orange: Exquisite. Presented in the form of soft cream, this tastes exactly like the creamsicle, but more natural. Served in a bowl with pieces of crispy granola and pieces of sweet blood orange. The only downside would be the fact that the ingredients are at the bottom of the cup, so there are not many sundae left there. (Original) Le service ici est impeccable. Les serveurs connaissent chaque plat/dessert à la lettre, il ne faut pas hésiter à demander une description si jamais le nom est trop ambigü. Ils sont également tous très rapide et amical. L'ambiance est agréable, avec de la musique pas trop forte, une lumière diminuée et on accepte les enfants ici! Le resto offre une menu de breuvages diversifié et nous permet de goûter aux différents vins avant de faire notre choix sur un verre. Voici mes commentaires pour chaque plat: Poulet d'amour en escabèche: poulet très tendre et juteux avec une peau légèrement croustillante accompagné d'une sauce épaissie et des morceaux entiers de noisettes. Un plat en général bon, mais dont la sauce est trop concentrée à mon goût ce qui a tendance à prendre le dessus sur les autres ingrédients. Éclair de carottes fumées: il semblerait que les carrotes seraient supposé de mimer du saumon fumé, mais c'était moins réussi ce soir. Ils goûtaient plus le carotte, mais c'était agréablement croustillants. La crème venant avec l'aneth et des morceaux croutillants beurrées complimentaient très bien. Pomme de terres rattes, hollandaise aux oursins: groupe de petites patates cuites, partiellement, voir très peu, recouvertes d'une sauce hollandaise qui avait une texture plus crémeux et contenant plus de beurres que d'oursin. Je ne goûtais pas d'oursin du tout. De plus, le plat vient avec du caviar ikura salé, qui a tendance à enterrer l'hollandaise. J'aurai aimé avoir plus d'oursin. Estugeon boucanné, gnocchi frittas: 3 gnocchis frites noire avec un paté d'esturgeons. Je dirais mon plat salé préféré des quatres. Le gnocchi est frais, chaud, croustillant et mou à l'intérieur, complimente parfaitement l'esturgeon. C'est un must-have ici. Sundae "Creamsicle" à l'orange sanguin: Exquis. Presenté sous forme de crème molle, ceci goûte exactement comme le creamsicle, mais plus naturel. Servi dans une coupe avec des morceaux de granola croustillant et des morceaux d'orange sanguin sucré. Le seul bémol serait le fait que les ingrédients se trouvent dans le fond de la coupe, alors il ne reste plus beaucoup de sundae rendu là.

Joe Larose

TL/DR: The staff is great, the food is great, the service is great, and we'll be back next time we're in town. Ç'est magnifique! My girlfriend and I had heard of La Vin Papillon before, as we're big wine nerds and we live only a couple hours away just south of the border. We were in Montreal for a wine event and since we were staying the night we decided to go for dinner. When we arrived we were told there was a small wait, so initially we stood near the door. We weren't there for more than a couple of minutes though when we were ushered to a different spot at one end of the bar where we could order drinks/food while we waited. I went to look at the drink menu (on a chalkboard written in French) while my girlfriend held it down at the bar. I got back to discover wine already being poured, and it was what I was going to order anyway, so win! Eventually the seated space next to us at the end of the bar opened up so we were settled in there. That way we didn't have to relocate with our drinks and we got to keep our same, fantastic server. Rather than make trips back and forth to the chalkboard we decided to allow our server (Jean, as we later learned) to make our choices for us. We ultimately did the same thing for food since it was all small plates and we'd never been there and it was again, all in French. Jean nailed it! We told her we had no allergies/restrictions and there was nothing we wouldn't eat, so she went to town with some of the stranger things we've had in recent memory. It was all amazing. I'm told their menu changes frequently so I don't know how much of this will still be around for anyone reading this, but we had the following: -Carrot éclair (some sort of smoked, pickled, sliced carrots in a baguette sandwich with creme fraiche on top. Notable because despite our declaration of no restrictions, by girlfriend as a general rule does NOT like carrots. She told me today this was probably her favorite thing she ate and we ate a lot of great things.) -Artichoke and whelk (not sure of the preparation but I believe it was roasted. It was also tremendous. I was beginning to appreciate at this point that Jean took us seriously when we said anything goes. Snails do not scare us.) -Duck hearts and bitter greens (not sure what the greens were, they weren't terribly bitter which is fine by me. The duck hearts were exactly that, and they were delicious.) -Roasted cauliflower (does not do it justice but I don't know what it was actually called. Basically it was roasted like you'd roast a chicken, and it had crispy chicken skin on top. The Carrot éclair was amazing but this might have been my favorite thing, personally. It was also large; if I were eating by myself I might have been good with just this and the wine. Then again I usually eat a lot, so maybe not.) For wines I only have a vague idea of what Jean was pouring but they were all great. I know we started with a bubbly rosé (not sure of the grape or producer) which was our first hint that Jean had us pegged from the start. We love starting with bubbly. From there we moved into a Quebecois Chardonnay, which was unexpected. I did not know the climate in Quebec could support Chardonnay, but there we were. Don't know the producer and we don't really get any Quebecois wine in VT where we live so I'm unlikely to run into it again anytime soon anyway. The last thing was a Gamay from near (but not in) the Beaujolais that was definitely not a nouveau. It had some body and some funk and was delicious. My girlfriend and I are not in the wine industry, we're just fans and we've made some friends. To drive the point home that we were where we belonged, several of those industry friends we've made randomly stopped by while we were there. I mentioned that we'd heard of this place before, but seeing people we know stop by themselves tells me they weren't just saying nice things, they actually really like this place. And we do too. The next time we're in Montreal I expect we'll be back to La Vin Papillon. And so should you.

Glen Tremblay

If you haven't been already I highly recommend you do. The staff are very knowledgeable and are happy to help you pick something to drink. The food changes all the time save for a few staples which isn't great for my FOMO but it's always a fresh experience. Note: go reasonably early to guarantee a table because they don't take reservations and it's always busy. A testament to the quality of the place.

We had an incredible meal this week at Vin Papillon. We love the small plates approach, the changing menu and the no reservation policy. It's great if you don't mind eating a little bit earlier like us. The food is fantastic (we had the fougasse, the esturgeon, celeri-rave, brussel sprouts and scallops to share as well as an airelle sundae and pumpkin spice nata for desert) and everything was done so well. Even ingredients that sounded like they might be a little underwhelming were fantastic. The service is relatively quick and quite friendly and the ambiance si very cozy. We tried a few wines with dinner as well which were all good, although we're not usually big wine drinkers. Amazing spot, will return for sure.

if this is the same place as a Korean restaurants I went to then I was here otherwise this is probably next door and I wasn't here. So assuming this is the Korean restaurant I went to it was good and interesting and price for downtown but not too badly and otherwise I wasn't here

Wonderful place to have a nice wine and a delicious tapa. Had a pumpkin muhammara and it was amazing.

My favorite out of the 3 restaurants (VP, LH, JB) side by side... A menu to suit all taste buds, along with many wine options to pair with your dishes...trust the wait staff. They really know their inventory well. Classic must-order is the roasted cauliflower with fried chicken skin. Perhaps the bar is set so high for the food and wine that I always find their desserts somewhat lackluster. Besides the amazing terrace in the back, I really appreciate the no reservations concept where anyone can walk in and grab a table.

Michael Crowe

We stopped in for appetizers and drinks before a Canadiens game. The bartender, Osmel, was spectacular! He was personable and patient with our lack of wine knowledge and he paired the wines beautifully with our escargot and ham appetizers. Speaking of which, I would drive back from Baltimore tomorrow for these appetizers. Truly delicious! We also got to meet David McMillan (one of the owners)and he let us know how much he loved the Baltimore Ravens! Kidding, he playfully teased us that Baltimore didn't have a hockey team. He was personable and a good host. Note this place is no reservations and worth every dollar!

Jacob

The 2nd best dining experience I've had in my life. I put it just below the 3 Michelin Starr rated Ramsay's in Chelsea. Everything we had at Le Vin was outstanding. The staff were helpful and friendly, the food was immaculate. Worth a trip to Montreal on its own.

rebecca ouellet

My favourite wine bar in Montréal! And the food is amazing :)

Genevieve Guertin

Great restaurant! Delicious food & cool wine list. One of my favorite spot. Good job guys.

Chris Kneale

Just ask the staff what they would order, you can't go wrong. The sturgeon pate, fried chicken of the woods mushrooms, BBQ focaccia bread, and wine/cider selection were phenomenal. The level of detail put into the formulation of each dish, all served without the pretension of fine dining makes this a great spot to have top notch food in a relaxed atmosphere. Absolutely worth the wait. Florence was a wonderful server who really took interest in her tables and made us feel at home. And after eating what seemed like half the menu, Head Chef Stephanie really knows her stuff. Could not have found a better spot to spend our anniversary.

MD Nguyen

A distinct genre of elevated creative-comfort food.

Luc Therrien

Outstanding food!

Ken Mazerolle

Over priced small plates of over vinegared vegetables and disappointing seafood that tasted like it came from a can. Chalk board menu inconvenient and illegible.

Alexandre Provencher

Wine list a bit short and sommelier/waiter lacks selling skills or knowledge (for a wine bar), but good experience overall. Very good vegetable oriented menu for a decent price (wine gets expensive). On average 40$ + tax & tip for a full meal and 1.3 big glasses of wine per person.

Sonia Van Wijk

Worth the price for their local products

SaraP

Simply fantastic

Clement Galiay

Another amazing night at Le Vin Papillon. The only thing that matches the dishes is the wine list.

Alexandre Beaulieu

(Translated) Warning: this review is about our visit more than a year ago, shortly after the reopening of the restaurant after its expansion, so I can not judge its relevance today but the reputation of the restaurant at the time was already well established, and the disappointment lived, very real. So I should have written this message when my memories were more vivid, but I remember the main ... So: we forgot to serve two of the six dishes ordered, maybe it was their way of trying to avoid the lower food? We persisted. The roasted cauliflower, one of the seemingly fetish dishes of the place, was an order of magnitude too salty and had an unpleasant texture. The duck heart sausage was dry, hard to chew and monotonous. The other dishes (sorry, they were too trivial for me to remember) were just plain without being bad. Only foie gras butter, served with freshly baked bread rolls and radishes was really satisfying at this meal. The wines served "in agreement" were not more memorable, but when part of the agreement is deficient, hard to leave a good impression. I feel like we came across a "bad night" to read other reviews. (Original) Avertissement: cette critique est à propos de notre visite il y a plus d'un an, peu après la réouverture du restaurant après son aggrandissement, je ne peux donc pas juger de sa pertinence aujourd'hui mais la réputation du restaurant à l'époque était déjà bien établie, et la déception vécue, bien réelle. J'aurais donc dû écrire ce message lorsque mes souvenirs étaient plus vifs, mais je me rappelle du principal... Donc: on a oublié de nous servir deux des six plats commandés, peut-être était-ce leur façon de tenter de nous éviter les plats plus médiocres? Nous avons persisté. Le chou-fleur rôti, un des plats apparemment fétiches de la place, était un ordre de magnitude trop salé et avait une texture désagréable. La saucisse de coeur de canard était sèche, dure à mastiquer et monotone. Les autres plats (désolé, ils étaient trop négligeables pour que je m'en rappelle précisément) étaient simplement quelconques sans être mauvais. Seul le beurre au foie gras, servi avec des petits pains frais cuits et des radis fut vraiment satisfaisant lors de ce repas. Les vins servis "en accord" n'ont pas été plus mémorables, mais lorsqu'une partie de l'accord est déficiente, dur de laisser une bonne impression. J'ai l'impression que nous sommes tombés sur une "mauvaise soirée" à lire les autres critiques.

Philippe Hamelin

By far my favorite restaurant in Montreal. Superb service, extremely good food and wine. Everything at this place is spot on: the music, the ambiance, the food and the wine. I could not recommend this restaurant enough. You need to try their white ham (even though the menu is always evolving, the ham is a staple there and should stay on the menu), their roasted cauliflower as well as any of their German reisling. No reservation is possible but usually you do not wait more than 30 minutes and you can enjoy their fantastic wine while waiting.

Mélanie Bergeron

(Translated) Very nice place the dishes were excellent however we expected a more passionate, interested and warm service. Hurry service, a little condescending, I had to insist that the menu be explained to us, and even then there are some dishes he just didn't explain by saying that ... "well the title is clear! " Really disappointed ... this is not the kind of service I expected from this place. (Original) Très bel endroit les plats étaient excellents par contre nous nous attendions à un service plus passionné , intéressé et chaleureux. Service pressé, un peu condescendant, j’ai dû insister pour qu’on nous explique le menu, et même là il y a des plats qu’il n’a juste pas expliqué en disant que … « ben le titre est clair! » Vraiment déçus… ce n’est pas à ce genre de service que je m’attendais à cet endroit.

Alex

I have to say I'm really disappointed. Their portions, lack of flavour, and detail are direct insults to their customers. It's the kind of food you make with scraps from your fridge. When you serve a $18 shellfish dish that fits inside a spoon, the least you can do is make sure the sauce it comes with has more to it than just plain mayo. Maybe also serve some kind of cracker to go along with it, rather than fit it in a shell that you have to scoop out awkwardly with a fork all at once. Ordered another dish and payed $20 for 5 tiny shells the size of our thumb, filled with boiled spinach and bread crumbs sprinkled on top, they were supposed to have shellfish inside but 2 of them didn't. This place is nothing special, no special sauce, no special flavour, bland ingredients. Really expected some sort of flavour at least to compensate for the portion sizes, but nothing. Place looks cozy for a glass of wine but definitely shouldn't try to market itself as a Joe Beef restaurant.

T Cattouf

Excellent dinner

Laurie Dolce

(Translated) Dishes of very variable quality and taste which make the price unjustified. An example of a dish of poor imagination: pieces of ham (the type we put in sandwiches for children in kindergarten) covered with cheddar ... I had high expectations but I was unfortunately disappointed. Nevertheless, the excellent service as well as some better prepared dishes justify a few stars. (Original) Plats de qualité et de goût très variables qui rendent le prix injustifié. Un exemple de plat de piètre imagination: morceaux de jambon (le type qu'on met dans des sandwichs pour des enfants à la maternelle) recouverts de cheddar... J'avais des grandes attentes mais j'ai malheureusement été déçue. Néanmoins l'excellent service ainsi que quelques plats mieux apprêtés justifient bien quelques étoiles.

Amadeus Stevenson

Take heed - this is not a wine bar but a restaurant. Despite a lovely interior and selection, be prepared for rude service if you don't drop a substantial amount on both food and wine. Shame!

In my top 3 restaurants of Montreal. They dont take reservations and you may wait for over an hour at times but the food is worth it. The menu is written on a chalk board which is eco friendly as it changes constantly. They also have private wine imports which are very interesting. They accommodate lactose intolerance and vegans well. Highly recommended for groups of 4 people or less

(Translated) The hottest evening of the summer the air conditioning was not providing. Creative cuisine in tapas and impeccable portions; everything was from very good to wow. Varied, original and constantly rotating wine list. Friendly and relaxed service despite a rush worthy of a rush hour on the Turcot interchange (Tuesday evening) I and a server on the edge of his vacation. Reasonable invoice in relation to the quality of the products. Downsides: no reservation possible, so arrive early because after 7 p.m., you have a wait of 1 to 2 hours, which leads to rapid successive service. The staff won't push you on the back, but this is not the place to stretch an evening. (Original) La soirée la plus chaude de l'été, la climatisation ne fournissait pas. Cuisine créative en portion tapas et impeccable; tout était de très bon à wow. Carte des vins variée, originale et en rotation constante.

Facture raisonnable en rapport avec la qualité des produits. Bémols: aucune réservation possible, donc arrivez tôt car passé 19h, vous en avez pour 1h-2h d'attente ce qui amène un service successif rapide.

Sara

Simply amazing, same quality than Joe Beef’s. A must!

Pam Martel

Very disappointed! This restaurant is way over rated just because it belongs to owners of Joe beef so we thought it should be good. We went there during the week hoping to get a table fairly quick ( there is no reservation).No body acknowledged for 10-15 minutes. Then we were told that it would take up to 30 minutes to get a table. Since the restaurant was busy, we thought it might be worth waiting. It took 1Hour 15 minutes! While standing right at the entrance, we decided to order red wine and make our waiting less painful. We were offered 3 types of red wine without any menu to know the make and the year or the price. We ordered pinot noir, very average. Later when we paid the bill we realized that very average pinot noir was 16$ per glass. The staff were very young and inexperienced.The food was tapas style. We ordered Rapini salad, very salty, Guinea Fowl thigh very plain presentation ( just a thigh and liquid sauce on top of it) salty again and a cauliflower dish wayyyy too citrusy. I don't recommend to anyone who cares about good wine, good food and good service.

Max Quesnel

Unbelievable meal - by far the best restaurant experience I've had in Montreal. Our waiter, Romain was great and took control of our night and we could not have had a better time.

Tiffany Sodano

I love the wines and the food. There’s always a great selection. But the portions are so small. I almost always get a slice of pizza after I leave.

Artur Tchernychev

Great food though the portions are tiny. My one true complaint is that we got glasses of wine recommended by the waiter but he never mentioned the prices - and he obviously recommended us the 18$/glass wines, which seems to me like an absurd price for a single glass.

Justin S

Really nice and intimate terrace for a date. Heated if it's chilly out. The food was also delicious and really great service.

Samuel Jacques

(Translated) The dishes were excellent, however the desserts lacked originality. The 《wow》 effect of the main dishes was not present in the desserts. Large selection of natural wine.

(Original) Les plats étaient excellents, par contre les desserts manquaient d'originalités. L'effet 《wow》 des plats principaux n'étaient pas présent dans les desserts.

Eric Lane

The food was overpriced, the restaurant was trying way too hard to be creative and unfortunately in my opinion fell flat. Overall the offerings were slightly bland, and lacked soul. Could have used a few more options with meat versus the huge variety of vegetarian offerings which dominate the menu.

Invoice of 100 dollars for 2, without even having taken wine ... any small mozzarella for 20 dollars, sturgeon with gnocchi fritti which is only 4 pieces of gnocchi to soak in a sour cream with a fish after taste. is not worth the price. Thinking it was just bad luck, we had to try other dishes, asking for suggestions several times (and especially because the menu is unreadable, without ever having a clear answer, basically, "take what you want. "So we decided to give a chance to the carrot lightning, appetizing to the view but totally banal to taste.Finally, donuts with ricotta but I doubt if they put it would not be A spoonful of ricotta, because for me it was nothing more or less than the donuts Mr.Puff, with a berry sauce much too sweet. I want to add that I had to complain because customers come after we were installed before. (Original) Terriblement déçue! Facture de 100 dollars pour 2, sans même avoir pris de vin... toute petite mozzarella pour 20 dollars, sturgeon with gnocchi fritti qui n’est enfait que 4 morceaux de gnocchi à tremper dans une crème sure avec un arrière goût de poisson.. ne vaut aucunement le prix. Pensant que c’était juste de la malchance, nous avons de tenter d’autres plats, en demandant des suggestions à plusieurs reprises ( et surtout parceque le menu est illisible, sans jamais avoir eu de réponse claire, en gros, « prenez ce que vous voulez ». On a donc décidé de donner une chance à l’éclair à la carotte, appétissant à la vue mais totalement banal au goût. Pour finir, des beignets à la ricotta mais je me doute s’ils ont mis ne serait ce qu’une cuillère de ricotta, car pour moi c’était ni plus ni moins que les beignet Mr.Puff; avec une sauce berry beaucoup trop sucré. Je tiens à rajouter que j’ai du me plaindre car des clients venu bien après nous se sont fait installer avant.

(Translated) Completely over-rated! 4 inches between each table, poorly seated, very ordinary decor, decent food, ordinary presentation, dishes without any wow ... pleasant atmosphere, Jeanne's service deserves 5 *, but the rest of the service without brilliance ... the prices are reasonable 1st and last time! (Original) Complètement sur-évalué! 4 pouces entre chaque tables, mal assis, décor très ordinaire, nourriture correcte, présentation ordinaire, vaisselle sans aucun wow... ambiance agréable, le service de Jeanne mérite 5*, mais le reste du service sans éclat... les prix sont raisonnables 1ère et dernière fois!

Great wine but expensive food. We were 5 and they could not split the bills at the end. When asked why, they replied they did not have a computer to do so. I mean ??? all other restaurants in Québec do so, why not Vin Papillon ?
