    Unfortunately. There is a word limit on reviews so I will keep it short. This was arguably one the best meals I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying. The set meal for the day fit my palette perfectly and the bottle of wine we chose was excellent. The standout of the meal was the 3 hour braised veal and polenta. It came in a copper roasting dish, with carrots, snap peas, red peppers, small red onions and garlic confit and an unbelievable dark glaze/reduction with a hint of citrus. The filets were bone in and the bone marrow had developed a beautiful crust while remaining perfectly tender in the middle. I used up an entire basket up bread soaking up the sauce and dipping up the bone marrow. Coming from America, I had expected serving sizes to be small, but that was definitely not the case. We both ate until we were stuffed, and there was some left over. The rest of the meal was just as memorable, the staff friendly and relative to the quality a great value.

    I did not know it was a market menu but I am glad I gave into it! The food was outstanding- they helped us select a beautiful bottle of wine from their extensive selection in my price range and with a small corkage fee, we were able to enjoy it for dinner. Highly recommend!

    The head waiter and everyone else made us made us feel at home. They were knowledgeable about the meal, and reassured my wife that there would be no problems with her nut allergy. The courses/portions were perfect, the food delicious, and the wine selection amazing. We had a lovely time and would recommend to anyone looking for a fine dining experience in Paris!

    We had a wonderful evening at Les Papilles! The food, service and environment was very enjoyable! Only recommendation would be to offer an option to split the pre-fixed menu as we just can't eat that much!! C'est Bon

    We had an excellent lunch at Les Papilles—some of the best food we have enjoyed in Paris. The set menu was delicious, the wine was superb, and the service attentive. They were also very kind and accommodating to our five year old child. We will be back on our next visit to Paris.

    Great regional cuisine, excellent wine selection and the server recommended a great bottle. The squash soup was excellent and so was the main veal Osso buco

    Great little restaurant with a set 4 course well priced menu with fresh tasty food, (lovely cheese), and friendly service. Enjoyed choosing our wine in the shop with an opportunity to try better and more unusual wines. Would definitely recommend.

    Our family (2 adults and 3 kids) ate dinner at Les Papillies and had a wonderful meal. All the courses were amazing and It was. Nice not to thank about what to order. The wine recommendations were great too.

    Tiny little restaurant with a fixed menu and an amazing choice of wines. Attentive service and the food was superb. A great find and in an interesting part of Paris, our walk back to the Seine was delightful.

    Really liked the welcome we received. I hadn’t quite realised that there is no menu, just a meal consisting of four courses, serving what is in season/or in that day. It was delicious. I was not keen on the dessert, but everything else was to my very much to my liking (I hesitate to say I eat pretty much anything, just bad luck on this night). And considering I enjoyed the first three courses, I didn’t leave the table hungry!.

    Les Papilles is one of my favourite restaurants in Paris and I always try to go there for dinner when visiting Paris. It is good value and the food is plentiful too! They are also always willing to suggest a wine to go with whatever they have on the day - I prefer restaurant like Les Papilles where they stick to cooking what is fresh that day.

    This was a great experience start to finish. Cozy ambiance - like you're at a very cool friends house for dinner. The food was all high quality and delicious while still being approachable. The dessert was a real stand out for me a beautiful pana cotta with caramel and stewed apples. You could taste the quality of the ingredients and I don't even usually like apple desserts! This will be a top recommendation for me when friends travel to Paris.

    The food was amazing. The staff kindly spoke to us in English because our French is inadequate. The sommelier helped us find the perfect burgundy (a white one) for our meal. It was such a wonderful experience. Merci beaucoup!

    Outstanding Parisian dining. No menu decisions needed, that is all taken care of. Perfect for 2-4 people even 6. We were with another couple and the menu was excellent. The wines and staff were just superb. Just book it. No need to look any further.

    A small intimate setting which served one of the best meals I have ever had in Paris. We were there on one of the prefiix meal evenings. Each course was not only delicious but was also beautiful to the eye as well❣️

    Other than the following point this is my favorite restaurant in Paris … my reservation automatically cancelled after receiving text on Christmas Day while in an airplane asking me to reconfirm reservation (which was a second time - I had already reconfirmed after booking for the fixed menu). I clicked the link to reconfirm the afternoon before the dinner and was told the reservation was cancelled. When I called I was accommodated in the basement but this could have been handled better by making it clear that the reservation will be cancelled such as using the words “Les Papilles requires you to reconfirm” instead of “would like you to reconfirm”. So if you are reserving be very careful to reconfirm regardless of how optional they seem it is.
