Le Papillon opened in 1974 as Toronto's first crêperie. We are now providing the casual French dining experience to a third generation of Torontonians and visitors to our fine city. After several moves within the historic St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood, we have now re-opened in an Old Town Toronto building that perfectly complements our French brasserie atmosphere.
Our menu continues to deliver old favourites such as French onion soup and Crêpes Bretonnes, while providing a newly expanded selection of steaks, as well as duck, seafood and pasta dishes. Also not to be missed is our list of homemade classic French desserts.
Le Papillon has won numerous awards over the years, most notably 'Best French Restaurant' in Where Magazine for five years running. We continually strive to provide a relaxed approach to fine dining with an emphasis on excellent value. Thank you to all of our loyal customers who have followed us throughout the years and welcome to our new clientele who are discovering us in our latest venture, Le Papillon On Front!
