Bistro Papillon
It was around the turn of the millennium when we, two Frenchmen, became colleagues in the UK working at a restaurant in Bath called 'Beaujolais'. Ludo in the kitchen and Xav front of house. It wasn't long after, and a few wines later, we became best friends and the dream of opening a French restaurant in Sydney, Australia, began.

We have a passion for simple, classic things and we love seeing the happiness people feel from good food and good wine. That has been our vision all along and that's what makes Bistro Papillon special to so many.

Never eaten French food before so had no expectations coming in. Safe to say this place is amazing!
Both meat dishes were cooked to perfection, the bread is so good and the atmosphere is cozy.

Beautiful and intimate experience with delicious French cuisine in a small cosy restaurant. Staff were friendly, accommodating and very attentive. The pate and seafood stew were my favourite dishes of the night. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and were greeted with a cute candle with our creme brulee. Thank you so much for the night Bistro Papillon!

Authentic French dining with lovely attentive staff. Took us right back to France! Food was spot-on. Classic French dishes. Love when the bread is crusty and warm! Wonderful evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Thank you Bistro Papillon!

Perfect place to be on a cold rainy night, a cute French restaurant in the heart of the city. The bread and butter alone is worth going there for. My Confit Cunard was very soft duck, not too fatty with gorgeous Mash. My friends meal options were also amazing from what I tasted, what they said and how the meals looked. We ended the night with Tartar Tan, could have been served a little hotter but apart from that perfect in flavour. Our waiter Andre was so lovely, helpful and very efficient. All up a great first time visit of many more to come rain or shine.
