My boyfriend recently brought me here for the Valentines Day set menu. It was a real surprise and we were both thoroughly impressed. There is nothing modern or Australian about the meal. It felt like we were back in a French countryside town. The wines were delicious, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It's a small little restaurant,... More

We found this restaurant using trip advisor. What a find, we can't wait to go back. The food was exactly as we wanted, very French, we had great service and the wines that we chose matched perfectly with the meal. The food is well priced for the size and so good. The space is a bit noisy but given the... More

Bistro Papillion is stunning! The restaurant is tiny, with enough room for about 10 tables and was really evocative of restaurants in Paris. Many of the staff are French, and the service is excellent. The menu has some fantastic French treats on there, and the Pâté de Foie for a starter was sensational. For main we had the Filet de...

Unpretentious great food, wine list and ambiance. They passed the acid test of French onion soup with flying colours and went from strength to strength from there. The staffs were engaging and involved if you wanted it, all in all a very enjoyable evening.

The atmosphere brings a rustic and homely feel not found easily in Sydney. We had a group of 12 for a party. A table was set with drinks pre-poured as requested.

Waiting time was to a minimum but didn't feel rushed. There were 6 in our group but all meals arrived together and everybody enjoyed what they ordered. Prices were... More

Had an enjoyable meal. Ordered the escargots, veal bourguignon and finished with a creme brûlée. Escargot were ok. I excepted them to be a little more garlicky, but they were ok. Veal was delicious. Sauce had been reduced perfectly. It was light with no stodgyness you can get in some restaurants. Main was not a large meal, but the taste... More

Stumbled on this gorgeous "hole in the wall" on our way to have massages at Grand Royal Thai Massage....wow! we were so lucky to find this gorgeous French restaurant with friendly staff, fantastic food and romantic setting all at a very reasonable price, will definitely return for second choice on the menu..

Exceptional, traditional french cuisine without the price tag. Specialties of the house are highly recommended. Service is friendly and attentive. If you love french food cooked exactly as it should be, then this is the place. Great central location too!
