Les Papilles

About

Situated close to the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris’s lively 5th arrondissement, Les Papilles marries the charm of a traditional bistro with the sophistication of a fine wine shop and delicatessen. Each day, the restaurant unveils a “Return from the Market” menu featuring seasonal soups, simple braised meats and a rich pannacotta dessert, all crafted from regional ingredients that showcase the culinary diversity of France and beyond. Patrons can enjoy the dishes either at the cozy tables located at the “Côté Table” or linger in the open-air “Grande Table” that accommodates up to fifteen guests, complete with a plasma screen for private events. For those who appreciate wine, the on‑site “Côté Cave” offers an extensive selection of terroir wines, as well as a wide array of liqueurs, champagnes, and regional spirits. With its relaxed dining hours—from 9:30 am to midnight on weekdays and Saturdays—Les Papilles welcomes casual diners, food lovers, and wine connoisseurs alike. A reservation is recommended, especially during peak hours, but walk‑ins are usually welcome. The ambience is warm and welcoming, with rustic décor, copper pans glistening in the kitchen, and a subtle buzz from the nearby cafés and bookstores. Staff members are attentive and eager to suggest wine pairs that accentuate each menu item. Whether you’re a quick lunch stop, a romantic dinner venue, or a place to sample exceptional wines, Les Papilles provides a memorable Parisian culinary experience.
