Meet the owner
From the quaint menu to quirky marketing, everything at Le Papillon on Front is done in house, and all staff lend a hand.
General manager Sean Gowland says the homemade rule goes a long way to not only keeping costs down, but also towards creating a positive, welcoming and inclusive environment for every walk of life. “We like to be able to cater to a lot of vibes,” says Sean. “We like to tip on the edge of trendy but there’s no 'I’m not hip enough to go there' or 'I’m too hip to go there.'”
Dishes like hearty French onion soup and tourtière – a traditional Québecois meat pie of seasoned veal, beef and pork with house chutney, potatoes and market vegetables – are comparable to what you’d be served at Grandma’s. The restaurant is stylishly impressive, yet stills feels homey, comfortable and relaxed.
Le Papillon on Front's eclectic team includes a few Francophone servers who help to give the restaurant its French-Canadian authenticity and also come in handy when Toronto classrooms come to learn the language and experience the cuisine. “It’s different being an independent restaurant,” says Sean. “We really do our best to make sure our customers leave happy.”

I can not beleive that no one else has written a review for the Le Papillion. It is my top choice for a restaurant if you want a romantic date atmosphere or a nice place to take your parents when the come to town. The serive is always great, the food is consistently great. The prices are quite reasonable. The crepes are always fresh and delicious, the salmon good, great French Onion soup. I also love the tarte au sucre (maple suger pie) for dessert- its the only place in Toronto that I know of that serves tarte au sucre. Great quebecois fare!
The server was excellent. Very welcoming and professional. It was a pleasure being at one of her tables. I’m sorry I neglected to get her name. Suggest offering two sizes of servings of mussels. Starter size left both of us wanting more.

The food and ambiance was excellent, but the service was awful. Our waiter was cheerful and kind, but we waited over 40 minutes for appetizers (which was a cold tasting platter), and longer for food and dessert. The service was very slow. We will likely not be returning

The crepe I ordered (asparagus) had so much dry crepe around it that it was really awful. It may fill out the plate .... but really if you are going to put that much crepe around the filling make the filling with more sauce or serve it will syrup and butter. I have to say it was awful. The tourtiere was apparently very good. The lamb shank was tough although tasty by my friend's account.

We ordered the beef tartar and cheese plate as appetizers. There was no fresh bread: all we got were dried baguette chips. This is very disappointing for a French restaurant to not serve bread, not to mention "good" bread! We then had the seafood crepe and my friend had the salmon crepe. Having lived in France, it is just not authentic to serve savoury ingredients in a crepe, not a buckwheat galette, though we kind of accepted their ignorance since Papillon has been doing this for years, not expecting their customers to catch on. Though what made the experience worse was that my friend had food poisoning from the salmon crepe.

four of us had a delicious and delightful dinner ! our server was very helpful and asked if we were going to a show after dinner , once he found out we weren't he really let the pace slow down , allowing us time between courses to just sit and chat . the food itself was amazing . we started by sharing the Terrine and Pate , both were delicious . i had French Onion Soup , possibly the best i've ever had , and the Cassoulet which was also incredible ! finished off with Tarte aux Sucre (which isn't as sweet as you might think from the name) . i also tasted the Tourtierre , astounding ! i must have this next time :)
