We live only about ten miles away but hadn't been to Le Papillon in over twenty years. We will certainly be back soon. I wanted to take my wife out to a special place to celebrate completion of a major project so I looked online at the reviews for the best restaurants in town and we settled on Le Papillon.... More

excellent food with superb service. great place for a special occasion. easy to get to, close to the highway. More

We visited this restaurant many times. Everything is outstanding there: food, service, atmosphere, presentation. It does not look very attractive from outside, but inside you will find an excellent place for romantic dinner or a small private party. More

Food is good, service is what you'd expect at a classic French Restaurant - you either love that style of thing or think it's uptight and pretentious. More

Le Papillon is small, cozy fine dining restaurant that has top quality food and service. I've been craving to go back; not as expensive as other restaurants like Gary Danko or French Laundry. I had their 4 course tasting menu; their desserts wow-ed me! I loveeeeeeeed everything there. More

Want to experience French Laundry class of French dining and don't want too drive far? Try this one in San jose/Santa Clara. You will not be disppointed in terms of food and service. Some may find the place a little small but I'd say it's comfy and cozy even for a small party. Definitely my favorite in South Bay. More

We always have a fantastic meal here! Ambiance inside is terrific even though it is situated in a high traffic and noisy area. More

We dined here for our anniversary and had a lovely evening with delicious food. The chef had repaired several "amuse bouche" which we received in addition to what we had ordered. It is a bit pricey, but the food and service warrant it, at least for a special event. More

Recently completed my sixth outing to Le Papillon and, just like everry other visit, the experience was outstanding. Excellent food and wine list. Once gain I enjoyed the filet beef which was cooked and flavored perfectly. Fine french desserts top of the evening. Pricey, but certainly a quality meal in a quite, cozy, romantic and stylish atmosphere. All my visits... More
