The years have been kind to Le Papillon! The best onion soup in the world! Perfect crêpes! The service was so friendly. I had missed this restaurant and didn’t realize they had just moved! What a pleasant surprise to return to the flavours and textures we remeber.
The restaurant was exceptional along with the hosts and servers. Food was really good. Will definitely visit you again.
I have been going to the papillon for years. I have never been disappointed. Great service and friendly people.
Can't resist the crepes. Always enjoy the staff enthusiasm.

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!
Absolutely delicious crepes! Amazing prices as well. A beautiful restaurant and the service was wonderful. One of my favorite restaurants in the city, by far.

Our server - Lois - was fantastic!!! Onion Soup was delicious. Mussels were amazing! Veal was (unfortunately a little) undercooked and sent back but our server made it seamless and was prompt and smooth about it. Highly recommend Le Papillon for a great dining experience in downtown Toronto.

Thank you for an excellent end to our day in Toronto. Service was A+ (Our waitress was excellent, always checking on us. The young man filling our water/clearing our plates was always present and we never had to ask for more water or dish removal) Food was A+++ (portion sizes were perfect, flavours were incredible) Ambience was A The restaurant staff was attentive to my food allergies and ensured no Epi-pen was needed that night lol. Prices were excellent. Thank you for a wonderful evening we will certainly be back on our next trip to Toronto. Tracy

Croque madam was somewhat soggy. Shrimp app perfectly cooked-best part of the meal. Escargot good. Peameal sandwich quite good but maybe too generous with the peameal. Busboy visited the table next to ours a laughingly 16 times during the hour we were there. I guess there was something between the busboy and guest beyond flirting?? Due to 2 larger family tables (a 10 and a 6) we did wait to be attended to. The french sauv blanc is a bit meh...

Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. The ambiance was nice as it wasn't so busy so it was a nice quiet dinner, now the food was superb. I had the Bouillabaisse, lovely and portion was not overwhelming, it as just right. The highlight I might add was the bread pudding type style dessert with their homemade french vanilla ice cream, it was heavenly!! A perfect end to a perfect dinner. My husband had the tourtière and thought it was delicious! I'd definitely go back or bring out of town friends and family here. The pricing here is also fair for what you get, especially for French food.

Our waiter Sean was very friendly and accommodating. Both my friend and I have food allergies and limitations and he worked with the kitchen to meet our needs. The cesar salad was the best I have ever had and the french onion soup was delicious. The chef even created a crepe just for us that was amazing. The atmosphere was pleasant, I wished the candles on the tables had been lit. Overall the evening was excellent.
