bistro papillon

great service, good food and wine. would recommend to anyone who enjoys more traditional french cuisine at agreatprice. will definitely be back!

this is a very nice restaurant forgreatfrench dining experience. be prepared to splurge but the food is definitely worth it! for starters, definitely order the snails drenched in garlic and parsley butter. for mains, i recommend the fresh egg tagliatelle pasta with seafood or the creamy veal ragout with fresh pasta. for dessert, the simple classic creme brûlée is the way to go. the service staff are very friendly and professional. just be sure to make a reservation beforehand!

cosy french food. went the full three course here for dinner. tried a tart flambee which was ok. confit of duck wasgreatand ended with fantastic dessert of the hazelnut ice cream with some cheese as well.greatatmosphere and was able to practise some french with our waitress. a little gem in the cbd.

great food, but no tact.. we enjoyed agreatmeal with good friends and sipped on two bottles of saint emillion bordeaux blend when the waiter abruptly told us that we have twenty minutes left which is not enough time to order desert and that we should go. nice way to ended what could have been my favorite dining experience in some time.

awesome, absolutely love this place.
the beef bourguignon was delicious, as was the pork medallions. salad with goat cheese isgreatas well.
we started with the snails - it’s a must!
friendly, attentive service. do it french style and eat in the sidewalk :-)

our visit here was advised by a chinese blogger who has undoubtedly ate here many many times and advertise this place as a must go if un sydney. agreatdate night with my wife and the 3 course meal did not disappoint! everything about this place such as the food was excellent and the service was great! will definitely come back next time in sydney. this should be a michelin star restaurant.

absolutely love coming to this quaint little hole in the wall french restaurant. the menu is not extensive but that doesn't mean the food is not great. must say the pan fried quail wrapped in pancetta was absolutely the highlight for me. the quail is cooked to perfection, the sauce is just creamy yet so well seasoned but not overly seasoned. the waiter recommended to put the side of pasta that comes with this dish straight into the sauce and what agreatrecommendation that was. absolutely delicious! also had the ratatouille which was so rustic. 
i love this place, i felt like i was in a restaurant in paris. the service was also friendly and efficient, would definitely come back if i ever want to feel like i'm in europe again. highly recommended!

a cozy and nicely designed restaurant,greatfor date night! we enjoyed the mains although the options are a bit limited for vegetarians. my partner very much enjoyed the sumptuous sausage  special, very rich and delicious. the desserts were absolutely the star of the show and we would go back just for the profiteroles and apple tart! definitely recommended and we will be back.

came here on a quiet night to try out some delicious french cuisine. we were not dissapointed.

pâté for entree was an absolutely delight. it was just havenly delicious. the snail dish was creamy and well accompanied with warm bread.

we moved on to mains, the sirloin steak mideum rare was cooked perfectly, red wine onion gravy was spot on. the ocean trout tagliatelle surprised to my partner who was pecastarian; it was a perfect dish for her taste, creamy, flavoursome and well-seasoned.

for dessert, we went for cream brûlée (because why not :) and two scoops of sorbet, one of each flavour. and both didn't disappoint and truely were agreatfinish for our very delicious dinner. we'll defitely be back for more.

p/s: one comment for our waiter though. we look asian, that doesn't mean we'd use chopsticks for everything we eat so refrain yourself from asking if we (or any asian looking customer) need chopsticks.

nice place. had a weekday eve dins at bps. had the pizza bread kinda thing to start which was delish. had the quail breast for main, this was even better than the entree. washed the first course down with the chardonnay by the glass, not agreatdrop. had a glass of the pinot noir with the main, this was better but not that much better. 
all in all, cool spot and i would return.


forgot to mention, the palate cleanser was delicious.

quaint and intimate, something you'd expect in a small french village rather than the heart of the cbd, the food isgreatbut the prices mean it's a special event venue rather than a everyday thing

bistro papillon is probably one of the more classic and authentic french restaurants in town and really reminds me of bistro dining in paris. i had the confit de canard, with white bean cassoulet and shallot sauce. the duck was crispy on the outside but moist on the inside, the beans had just the right bite to it and the shallot sauce was light and gently coated the ingredients. perhaps a bit too much salt but otherwise it was a classic confit de canard. my biggest regret of this meal was not being able to have a glass of wine, as they have a pretty nice selection. its also agreatdate place!

we loved our night at bistro papillon. very cosy atmosphere andgreatservice. the food exceeded our high expectations. can't wait to return

i don't understand why this place is not hatted! i love the intimate setting of the small dining room. have been here twice now (also tried on another occasion, but they were fully booked), and both times were agreatexperience. the place is cozy and the wait staff are friendly which put you at ease and feeling comfortable straight away. the food comes in generous serving portions (struggled to finish all my food). for entree, we had the escargot with baguette to share, the escargot was served in strong garlic butter, perfect with the toasty baguette. for main i had the wagyu rump, which was tender and melt in the mouth smooth. it was accompanied by with fries, salad & a choice of sauce (the sides all came with the meal at no extra cost!).  this is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the city, and will definitely be back again.

had agreatdinner on saturday at bistro papillon. we really liked the vibe with the dark walls and interesting posters/wall art. the service was excellent and we felt very well taken care of.

we had the mussels to start and then the seafood stew and veal escalope special for mains--all was excellent. definitely recommend as a date spot.
