5 /5 Laurence Green: We have dined at the Papillon restaurant on many occasions and always enjoyed the delicious food and service. Nino and his staff are very friendly and attentive and always goes the extra mile to make sure that we are happy! Last night’s birthday celebrations for my wife and Granddaughter went off extremely well and would thoroughly recommend the Papillon restaurant Chigwell.

5 /5 Liz Kite: Set menu at excellent price & wide set of choices. It was plentiful, well presented and beautifully cooked. The service was friendly but fast and efficient. The only draw back was the noise. We were part of a group of 30 and with plenty of other guests lunching there, it was difficult to hear people at our table.

3 /5 Ilves: This was my second visit to the restaurant after its refurbishment, and the fresh new look was quite appealing. Surprisingly, despite its popularity in the neighborhood, it wasnt very busy during my visit. I was there with friends and we had a lovely time catching up. The host was gracious, allowing us to enjoy our evening without feeling rushed. We sampled a variety of food and drinks, but unfortunately, the quality of the dishes didnt meet my expectations. The tempura prawns seemed frozen, lacking freshness, while the carpaccio was warm and under-seasoned. The presentation of the parmigiana could have been better. The main courses were equally disappointing: the monkfish was excessively salty and overcooked, the spaghetti bolognese sauce was heavy, and the chicken was burnt on the outside. The lamb chops were decent, but not exceptional. Dessert was passable, although it could have been more artfully presented. On a positive note, the hospitality was delightful, and the host added to the enjoyment of the evening.
