Super friendly and helpful staff told us all about the food and helped to select an appropriate wine from their massive selection. The menu of the day was delicious and the service was great. Very calm and relaxed atmosphere made it a lovely place to spend an evening

Great little restaurant with a wonderful set menu in the evening. We visited this restaurant 12 years ago and were delighted to find the service and food were still as good.

We dine at Les Papilles each time we come to Paris. One of our favorites fixed course restaurants. Very good wine collection. Easy to get to on foot, taxi, or public transportation.

We had the best time here; the staff, the ambiance, the food, the wine all amazing! We did the 4 course menu and their main was lamb. Unfortunately my sister doesn’t eat red meat and they were happy to sub that for a fish. Tomas made our experience so special and he recommended quite possibly the best wine I’ve ever tasted. I ended up buying a bottle. Run, don’t walk here you won’t regret it!

Very welcoming, everything explained very well and the wine and food are excellent. I thought the service really shined here and the presentation was excellent. My favorite is somewhat a surprise a creamy celery soup. (It’s more than that with accompanying garnish.) The lamb was very good and the lemon cream dessert was the best I’ve had.

This small, colorfully-decorated bistro has amazing food. We started with a pumpkin soup that we ladled around a delicate center of crème, spicy pork, and other tasty ingredients. The pork cheeks, which were super tender and surrounded by carrots, potatoes, shallots, and a sauce, similar to au jus, that you could slurp by itself, made me re-vision and generally dismiss my previous pot roasts. Then, we ate a small triangle of cow-derived (buttery) bleu cheese accompanied by a prune with a dark, sweet coulis. To end, we had what seemed like a chocolate mousse with some crumbles atop. The apparent owner recommended a bottle of Condrieu, which perfectly fit this unforgettable meal.

Wow! I lived in Paris and have been visiting at least once a year since then. Tonight I had a fabulous culinary experience, the food was exceptional, just a delight. The service and the wine selection were exceptional too. I'd recommend this place and go as far as to say everyone should visit this place at least once.
