    My first trip to Paris. I wanted small neighborhood restaurant where you would find French locals dining. I loved that Les Papilles had a chef's menu in the evening which made the decision making easy for us. Wine, food and service were all exceptional. A friend from Paris joined us and she was also very impressed. Merci beaucoup Les Papilles!

    The quality, flavor and presentation of the food was tremendous. Couple that with an excellent (yet very affordable) price given this is a wine seller, makes for a winning combination. My 6th time of attending and I haven’t been for almost 10 years as we now live in the US. We made a special point for coming here on our vacation and were not disappointed….. look forward to our 7th visit, hopefully before another 10 years!

    Our 7th or 8th time at les Papilles over the years and it is as great as ever. Gracious service, epic food and the remarkable fun of pulling wine off a retail shelf. We simply love this place.

    Always enjoy lunch here. Picking out the wine from the selection on the shelves. The set menu the day we went had a heavenly cauliflower soup with bacon and bread crumbs. The service is very personal and friendly.

    Food was fantastic and we loved the “we went to the market and here’s what we made” concept. Owner very friendly. We mostly spoke in French but they were generous with the English where necessary.

    The veloute entree was superb, everything else was good, but not great. The servers were delightful, but the owner was officious and dismissive. We won’t be going there again.

    The staff is accommodating to those who don't speak perfect French. The food has alwas been amazing--I've eaten here on every trip to Paris, even though that's only about 7 or 8 times. I love it here.

  • Jessica K.1 review

    The food was great and the service was lovely . But the menu on a Thursday night was limited to one choice of soup, one choice of main, one cheese and one dessert. It’s a reasonably priced market “plat” but limited — they did substitute prosciutto for my husband’s carrot soup but you have to know that there won’t be much choice. I though dinner was delicious but I like pork cheeks — the main course
