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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Papillon. The sea bass, snapper, and veal were all excellent and we were lucky enough to be there to enjoy the white asparagus special as well. We will definitely return to Papillon!

A MUST TASTE!--All superlatives, from genuine friendly service, wonderful food presentation, heavenly melt in your mouth filet mignon, to the refreshing desert--and an Early Bird Special to boot! This is Aruba's best kept secret!--it's set back from the sidewalk situated with other small businesses around a circle (not a square) with live soothing musical entertainment. Bon appetit!

We came to the papillion by way of a street presentation previous night. We had the filet (mr)that was cooked to perfection and melted in our mouth. The service was great or better and the ambiance was just as good. Added to the great experience in the restaurant was a wonderful flugle horn (ala chuck mangione) musician and we danced after dinner. This restaurant maybe one of Aruba's great secrets. Prices were very reasonable plus the early bird special and w/o service charge so you can make the decision on tipping. Would suggest it as one of your must do places to eat.

On my second trip to this wonderful restaurant, I was not disappointed. Once again I was treated to exceptional service and delectable food. My grouper was fresh and expertly prepared. My cousin had the filet of beef and raved about its tenderness.
I had an opportunity to meet the Chef and his family who were dining adjacent to me. They have a beautiful baby boy who is as enchanting and delightful as his father's cuisine.
You can't go wrong if you choose Papillon.

Another one of our favorites as far as food and ambiance.

We happened to be there during the "white asparagus season" so we tried the white asparagus appetizer that's served with egg and prosciutto (very good!) For entrees we had the Beef Bourguignon and the oven-baked sea bass. Food and service were excellent. This is becoming one of our favorite restaurants in Aruba.

This is one of the better new restaurants on the island, within walking distance from the highrise hotels. Had the Snapper and the Grouper which were both excellent. Chevre salad was excellent too. The service is very attentive. The wine list is a bit pricey.

Chantal was our server for two nights of the seven nights we were in Aruba. The early bird special for $29.95 included a glass of wine and a three course meal. This restaurant was exceptional and our server was outstanding in her presentation and attention to our every need. The Papillion is a must when you are in Aruba! I even recommended this restaurant to the Holiday Inn were we stayed because it was delicious and so affortable with the best service you will every have. Five star rating.

My wife and I recently dined at Papillion and had the best meal we have ever had, anywhere! The specials were amazing, the restaurant inside was quite charming, and our server, Chantal, was fantastic. Had we experienced Papillon sooner in our trip, I'm sure we would have had made it back multiple times.
