Excellent selection of wine. Good food with interesting combinations. The staff were very knowledgeable but not condescending, which is rare in a wine bar :p
One name: Joe Beef! In fact, Le Vin Papillon is the “well-hidden secret” of the famous restaurant next door, run by a great sommelier, and a creative cook to boot, but with both hands in the garden. Reference address.
While Joe Beef is known for its meat, its little brother, the Vin Papillon, specializes in vegetables... and natural wine! The place is inviting, friendly and unpretentious and the food that finds its way to your plate (and your glass) has been carefully grown and sourced. And that's why the restaurant is ranked fourth in the 2016 edition of Canada's 100 Best Restaurants!
A new addition to the Joe Beef family, this wine bar is located right next to the famous Notre Dame Street establishment. Sommelier Vanya Filipovic holds down the fort and offers a selection of the world’s best wines, mostly organic and otherwise "natural.” Guaranteed pleasure! No reservation is necessary.
