Bistro Papillon - Sydney

The best French restaurant outside France we have ever visited

Excellent authentic French restaurant. The confit de canard and short bourgignon are my favorites.

Beautiful French place in the heart of the city. Only 40 diners or so, quite intimate, that is great for a small work meal, and an ideal setting for a meal for two. I had the snails and Duck. Both were nicely prepared and very pleasant, with side bread to enjoy the taste even more. Service was exceptional. Try it anyway.

Came here for our anniversary dinner and had the most pleasant experience. The ambiance and staff were the highlight. Great guidance and info, plus the theatrics around the palate cleanser made the whole meal quite fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend getting the palate cleanser! We had the French onion soup and steak tartare which both had amazing flavor. Then for mains we had the Bourgogne and a duck cassoulet on special. The Bourgogne was great, and the cassoulet was alright. The meat in it was amazing but the sauce could have been more flavorful. Still enjoyable though! Have already recommended this place to many friends

Lovely food and service. Loved especially the pate and escargot
