This was our first time dining at Papillon, and my husband and I took my parents on a Sunday night. The food was outstanding (!!!) and our server, even struggling a bit sometimes with English, gladly went back and discussed with the chef which of my desired entrees could be made gluten free (if not already GF). I had the... More

Thank goodness for Papillon. While Aruba is a pretty good island, it seems most of the dining caters to a one-time customer. Several of our meals seems to be cooked in butter and maybe from the freezer. Not at Papillon. This was a quality meal. The seared salmon and chocolate volcano cake was outstanding.

Good service, very excellent food, the flavours in the preparations include perfumes of truffles... the carpaccio 3 fishes is great

Papillon is a nice Island restaurant serving local food with light french flair. We went early evening, Service and Food was very good. My wife and I both had the daily special and the Dutch split pea soup. The soup portion was very generous.

Great food, beautiful wine list(best on island that I have found) and very nice service. Surrounding businesses are a distraction and does distract from the ambience. The food quality is glowing light in the experience.

Her fried risotto was tasty. Would come back but next time we would send the food back if it came out wrong.

Papillon is right in the "thick of things" + there is a really nice little market you can enjoy before or after dinner. The service was nice but not personal. The waitress messed up on my entrée but in the end I ended up with a fantastic shrimp dish that was really delicious. We were their for 10 nights and... More
