Papillon Restaurant
Henri Charrière, one of the world's most famous prisoners, would surely have had the time of his life at Papillon Restaurant in The Village, across from the Radisson Resort. Nicknamed Papillon because of the butterfly tattoo on his chest, the Frenchman was the first convict to escape from Devil's Island, something that nobody had ever done before. Charrière's thrilling, gripping autobiography has been the concept behind Papillon Restaurant.
Papillon Restaurant's menu reflects the Frenchman's arduous journey to freedom: classic French dishes have been dusted with daring Caribbean flair and are a culinary journey for your taste buds. Papillon is open daily for dinner.

There are many words one could use to describe this restaurant. I am just going to say, “WOW”. There were four of us who dined together. Three had dived that day and the other had walked two miles. Everyone was starving and what a memorable delectable meal it was. Our party ate “soup to nuts” and the service was very nicely spaced out so that we did not feel rushed.

Some of the dishes which stood out were: Dijon mustard soup, Tuna Trio, Chèvre salad, Grouper Papillon, Canard à Passion- Crispy, seared duck, and the Mousse Tasting.

when we reached to papillon, we thought it was only one other common restaurant. but only when we got our waiter, we noted immediatey that it was something of category. the professional manner in which our waiter greeted us and the tremendous service they provide there is none. we were surprised how this young kid could do such a tremendous job. prices are a bit high but worth it. the food is incredibly amazing. thanks papillon for giving me a splendid night. I will return.

The staff was very friendly and attentive at all times!

During our 2 weeks stay on Aruba we ate at 7 toprestaurants of which Papillon was the last, but certainly not the least. We ordered the game-menu and different wines for each course. We told the staff we were not in a hurry, and so it happened. From the amuses to the desert every course was a feast on itself: the taste, the "cuisson", the choice of matching ingredients and the excellent wines: super! Compliments to Tina and her staff and of course to Bas, the chef. We hope to visit Papillon again in april 2012.

The stories are true! The food was great and service superb! we haven't had our night at Papillon topped in any other restaurant on Aruba.
They could be in a better location though. It was very loud outside the restaurant but we completely forgot as soon as we stepped in.

This restaurant is one of the best on the island no matter what Frank, Oct 15, wrote. And no, Frank, I am not a person who has some financial attachment to the place. Yes, it is small, and yes there is a flea market closeby, but we enjoyed a breeze remembering that Aruba is very warm so even a breeze won't provide maximum comfort. All that silly stuff aside, we ate there twice this October and enjoyed both meals immensely. We were not rushed (Frank calls it slow) and the service was outstanding (both Mario and Peter) and it was convenient since we stay at the Radisson when we visit the island. I highly recommend that you try this restaurant.
