Bistro Papillon

‘Early’ birthday lunch for my wife at this wonderful French Bistro. Fabulous food, including vegetarian options, expansive French wine list and attentive and caring staff. We couldn’t fit in dessert so will definitely be back. We often travel by train and the bonus is that Bistro Papillon is only a very short walk from Wynyard Station. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys genuine French cuisine. 🍷🍷😊😊
Amazing experience and food! We’re a French couple and we’ve been transported back to France for few hours. We recommend the Canard confit, the soupe à l’oignon and the bœuf Bourguignon. But everything on the menu is really tasty 🤤 Thank you to Benoît and the rest of the team for the wonderful service! We’ll be back FOR SURE ! Tom and Léa
I didn't quite like the food. The duck pasta was too salty for my liking while I feel the other dishes were a bit bland. The coffee and the service were both great though. My colleagues liked the beef bourguignon. The place is too packed so a reservation is recommended. It is loud inside which makes it hard to talk sometimes but the design of the place is good.
We celebrated our 6 year anniversary at Bistro Papillon, and it was an absolutely flawless experience from start to finish. If you are looking for an authentic, warm, and delicious French dining experience, this is it. We started the night with the French onion soup and the escargot, both of which were spectacular and packed with classic, rich flavors. For our mains, we shared the incredibly tender beef bourguignon (perfectly complemented by sides of smooth mash and greens) alongside the beautifully crisp and flavourful duck confit. A special shoutout to the Le Colonel palate cleansers. They were a fantastic, refreshing touch that set us up perfectly for our mains and sweet finish. For dessert, we treated ourselves to the Île Flottante and the crème brûlée, which the staff kindly brought out with a lovely "Happy Anniversary" & candle touch on it. Beyond the phenomenal food, what made the night extra special was the staff. They were incredibly patient as they let me practice some of my basic French phrases with them! It gave the whole evening such an authentic French atmosphere. We had an awesome night, felt incredibly looked after, and will definitely be back the next time we have a special occasion to celebrate. C'était superbe!! Merci beaucoup!
The French onion soup and beef tartare were the best I've ever had - incredible. The decor and ambience made me feel like I was in France. Very attentive service despite a full restaurant. I would fly to Sydney just to come here for those two dishes (and I probably will 😄).
