Inspiring World Cuisine and Exceptional Local Products
At Papillonnes, the motto is freshness and proximity. Freshly installed in the heart of Lyon's 6th arrondissement, the address led by Kenza, the passionate and bubbly chef, has a simple but daring ambition: to transform fresh, local, and seasonal products into delicious dishes. Fish, meats, vegetables, everything is carefully selected, 90% from local producers. The cheese comes from Mons, the bread from Antoinette, and the fruits and vegetables from the nearby Tête d'Or market.
Here, customers are treated like guests and pampered to the fullest. Papillonnes reveals itself in a warm and cozy decor, with furniture and dishes that have been carefully chosen, where everyone is welcome without any pretentiousness. A cozy spot with 28 seats (including 12 seasonal terrace seats) where you feel divine from the first moments. With its exclusively female team, Papillonnes offers a French cuisine inspired by world cuisine and vice versa.
Local Menu and Bistronomic Sharing Plates
The menu mainly features influences from the Middle East, North Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Kenza plays with spices and herbs to transport her guests from one continent to another, never forgetting the restaurant's anti-waste commitment: here, everything is used, nothing is thrown away. At lunchtime, Papillonnes offers a changing menu every week with 2 starters, 3 main courses (including a vegetarian option), and 2 desserts at very reasonable prices (starter/main or main/dessert for €19.50 and starter/main/dessert for €23.50).
When evening comes, the concept changes somewhat and gives way to bistronomic dishes, far from the tapas spirit but just as convivial, with many delicious suggestions. Papillonnes is a restaurant where you come to discover flavors and delight your taste buds with creations that blend originality and expertise. As for drinks, the wine list is limited but meticulously chosen, featuring exclusively French wines that highlight lesser-known small estates, with many organic options. Non-alcoholic beverage enthusiasts are also well catered for with a selection of juices, soft drinks, and beers, all 100% locally sourced.
