Papillon Restaurant

We visited Papillon Restaurant on March 29th. It was very good. Papillon was my husband's favorite meal. He ordered the Sea bass and the presentation was awesome. The Sea Bass was in a bowl that looked like a pot pie. It was a little too fishy for me and the crust of the pie was too salty. However, my husband loved it. I had the risotto cakes and they were very good. Papillon is a little pricey for the amount of food, but the food is very good. The molten lava cake is worth the wait! So good. The atmosphere and theme of the restaurant is very cool. Most of the seating is outside, as the restuarant is small inside. Our waiter was okay. He was very difficult to understand and seemed to be frustrated that he had to repeat what he was saying. My husband and I are 35, so we are not hard of hearing. The hostess was very friendly. We had reservations for 7, but for some reason, she had 8:30, even though I confirmed the reservations earlier in the day. She was very accomodating and we were able to be seated at 7. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and we will definitely return.

THE GREETER WAS EXTREMELY FRIENDLY.

THE WAITER WAS EXCELLENT AND SUGGESTED A WINE A FEW DOLLARS MORE EXPENSIVE TO US. USUALLY WE GET THE LESS EXPENSIVE WINE BUT THE SUGGESTED WINE WAS DELICIOUS.

THE FOOD WAS NOT ONLY DELICIOUS BUT THE EXACT PROPOTION.

EXCELLENT RESTARAUNT

GO THERE EVERY VISIT TO ARUBA WHICH IS TWICE A YEAR

One of our favourite restaurants on the Island. Great food, service and a feeling that you are never going to be rushed is what really stood out with this restaurant. This restaurant has a great series of gift stands near it and a couple of other restaurants, but you would NEVER know that they were even there, the way the restaurant is set up as there is a certain privacy area that allows you to enjoy everything this restaurant has to offer. This establishment is an alsolute MUST if you enjoy fine food with a terrific staff

Voor enkele weken terug hebben we een vakantie gehad op Aruba. Daar hebben we gegeten bij de Papillon. Het ontvangst was geweldig. We werden netjes voorgesteld aan onze waiter voor die avond. We hebben heerlijk gegeten, vooral de Carpazzio was een ware smaaksensatie. Een combinatie van vele smaken in één gerecht. Erg lekker! Verder vond ik de bediening netjes en vriendelijk. Als we nog een keer weer op vakantie in Aruba komen, gaan we zeker nog een keer een bezoek brengen aan Papillon.

We returned to PAPILLON this year and were delighted to find that its performance was consistent with what we experienced last year. The food and service are excellent here even though the setting and atmosphere do detract from the total enjoyment. It is shame that such a good restaurant has such a bad setting and theme to it - all we can say is ignore both of those aspects and you will have an incredibly enjoyable meal - the food makes up for any other possibly perceived deficiencies. And, when it realy comes down to things, it is the food that it is all about. GO and ENJOY.

A friend invited me for an elegant evening out at Papillon Restaurant. And what a night it was! We started off with a goat cheese salad to die for, followed by an entrecote that was one of the best I have ever tasted. The bottle of Saint Emilion Grand Cru was excellent and the service nice and discreet. Our night out at Papillon was a super experience, hopefully soon to be repeated.

I finally found the time to thank Tina & Kumar for a wonderful evening. We try to come very time we are on the island, but I have to say that they have managed to exceed our expectations!! First I was afraid that bringing the children would hold us back from having a spectacular culinar evening, but nothing was less true. With just the right attention and tasty recommendations, it has made our night a success for the whole family.

It was our first time and it was absolutely great. Service, food and ambience all were great. My girlfriend had grouper with lobster sauce and I had filet mignon with truffle sauce . Both were to die for and I'm not over exaggerating. Highly recommend this place!

We went to this cute restaurant already a couple times and it never disappointed us. The food and service is always good, as well as wine recommendations. They will see us again next year.

My wife and I wend to this restaurant twice during our honeymoon and it was more than outstanding the service was so warm and friendly and the food was superb. We will come back.
