5 /5 Ben Tarling: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lucy and I popped into Papillon before heading to a show at the theatre across the road, and we’re so glad we did! From the start we were welcomed with smiley, friendly staff which instantly set the tone. The venue itself is stunning – a beautifully renovated church with a warm, inviting ambiance.
For food, I had the vegan burger and Lucy went for the rosemary chicken – both absolutely amazing. For dessert, I couldn’t resist my favourite apple crumble with ice cream (perfect!), while Lucy had the special Biscoff option, which was soft, indulgent and absolutely delicious.
All in all, a brilliant experience. Perfect for dinner before a show at the Mayflower. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Southampton, and we’ll definitely be back!
