Reviews for Le Papillon On Front in Toronto, ON
nice ambiance, excellent service and friendly staff. food was good, but dont expect a blissful gastronomic experience. escargot... would be better if served in the shells with escargot tong and had more garlic & butter. crepe de la mer was so delicious iwould visit again just for it. portion of duck breast and new york steak were kinda small but taste good. burnt sugar layer ofcreme brulee was way too thick but i like the pudding part. wine was solid, nothing to criticize.

Surprisingly quiet for a Saturday night as there were quite a few empty tables in the restaurant. We got the escargot and french... onion soup to start, then the classic coq au vin and smoked duck breast for our entrées. The service was generally good, exceptwe found a piece of hair in our glass of water. The food was good as I expected but nothing to be excited about either. Read more
We decided to try something different and a little on the fancier side for our most recent date night and Le Papillon was the... perfect spot as we don’t really do French cuisine. The place itself is gorgeous and has a lovely vibe. The service wasexceptional right from the moment we entered the place. Good variety of drinks including wine and cocktails. For starters, wewent with the much-hyped French onion soup, and it was DELICIOUS. I’d keep coming back just for the soup. Their crepes lookedreally tempting so we had to try one (seafood) and it did not disappoint. The Cassoulet was one of their top items and more onthe meaty side. The portions were just the right amount. Their desserts were a perfect end to our lovely evening, especiallytheir Pouding Chômeur! Overall it was an amazing experience dining at Le Papillon and would highly recommend it for a datenight or just a casual evening with friends. Read more
The crepe with beef is great! The onion soup (a symbol of French cuisine) in their preparation - I don't like it, I guess they... use the cheapest onion and the dish smells, I don't recommend. Smoked duck is nice, a little dry, but maybe it is supposed to bethat. The mashed potatoes they put on the siding was not worth the restaurant level, they also put onion in it. Beer. BottledIPA comes from Goose brewery opposite the street - good, however, draft one is lower than average as well as most canadianbeers. Hope wine is better, I did not try it. Btw, it is supposed to be a French restaurant, why do they have Chile on the menu?Honestly, we went there, because a very famous nearby Italian place was too busy (40 min wait time). Read more

I wish I could give more than five stars because we had an incredible date night experience. The food was absolutely amazing! I... especially loved the duck and crème brûlée. In addition, our server was extraordinarily friendly and professional. Read more
We came here after work as a group, it was a Thursday night and the place was a bit empty. The service was great and quick,... staff was very friendly and welcoming. We ordered a few appetizers for the table such as tuna tartare, shrimps and baked briecheese, which tasted delicious!!! I had steak and fries for main, my colleagues had different dishes and everyone enjoyed theirmeal. It looks like it could be a nice place for a romantic dinner, if you are looking for one. Read more
