Bonjour and welcome to our Blog!
This site will follow the construction of our New restaurant Le Papillon on the Park and will be updated regularly so that you may see the evalution of our latest creation.
Notre Histoire
Le Papillon originally took flight in 1974 when the restaurant introduced a unique flavour to Toronto’s restaurant scene. The restaurant offered such French and Quebecois classics as Crepes Bretonne, French Onion soup and Tourtiere. After serving Toronto for 34 successful years the partners have gone their separate ways to open two new restaurants - Le Papillon on the Park and Le Papillon on Front. This blog covers the development of Le Papillon on the Park, owned by Paul and Danielle Bigue.
Le Nouveau Restaurant
Le Papillon on the Park, located at 1001 Eastern Ave, will face a large, beautiful and soon to be redesigned and renovated park. Nestled right between the up and coming Leslieville and the well established Beaches areas, this is Le Papillon’s most accessible and exciting locations yet!
Upon entering a restored brick house built in 1919, you will find our reception area and bar, both showered in natural sunlight. As you enter our main dining area you will find a warm and inviting space with a decor reminiscent of Quebec City and Old Montreal with a modern flair. This room boasts 3 wood burning fireplaces and beautiful french doors which allow you to look out onto the adjacent park. The dining room and bar are expected to seat 120 guests comfortably. Above the Dining area will be a large, tree-lined rooftop patio and bar, perfect for spring, summer and fall dining.
Le Menu
While keeping all your old Le Papillon favourites, we are now improving the menu by introducing a stronger Quebecois influence to the mix. Redolent of Paul and Danielle’s Quebecois backgrounds, we will be offering the flavours of Quebec with a new twist. In addition to this we will be supporting local and independent farmers whilst serving the freshest and best quality foods available. With this being said, our new menu will continue to offer the very affordable prices we have always had.
On behalf of Paul, Danielle and everyone at Le Papillon we would like to thank you for 34 wonderful years of memories and look forward to welcoming you at our new location.
Thanks for dropping by and make sure you come back for news of construction and much more. Feel free to leave a comment below; we love to hear from everyone!
A la prochaine!
Hi everyone,
Unfortunately, our website was hacked this week and we lost everything on the database (posts, comments, registered accounts). Not to worry though - we are already working on this new site and should have it all together shortly!
Thanks for your patience. Check back soon!
Danielle, Paul & Stephane
