Reviews of Papillon
T. A. h.
This should be a 5 star review because the food was good, the servers were friendly and helpful, and the ambience was pleasant. However the kitchen was over whelmed so our food was very late. We arrived at 5.20pm after the theatre for dinner. Our starters came out at 6.30 and we were very happy with the standard of food. Our server informed us that the chefs were backed up and it might be a slight wait. However we didn't get our main meal until 8pm. By this time we were the last people eating when all around us the tables had been packed away and the night club was already playing loud music. We couldn't hear ourselves talk so we had to leave and have dessert and coffee elsewhere. Our server, Claire, was very good and did everything she could to make it right for us so that we would be happy to return. I think we will give it another try. Prices were reasonable for quality and portion sizes. Well recommended.

Papillon is situated in one of the iconic buildings in Southampton. The interior is well preserved and decorated really well. I found the tables quite small though, not much space to move around with food and drinks. But the customer service was brilliant, and the food was amazing. We had the vegan burger, triple cooked chips and warm pistachio cake. Each one of them were perfectly cooked and tasted delicious. Specially loved the pistachio cake that was served with cream cheese frosting. The combination was epic and the cake melted in the mouth. We had a great experience dining there and highly recommend this place.

I would rate 6 if I could! We went in today for a Sunday roast and it was one of the best I have ever had. Everything was on point, with the added joy of a beef brisket croquette for the roast beef and a lovely cauliflower cheese dish as a side. The pork and beef roasts were tender and cooked to perfection. We also tried the biscoff espresso martini and the bread and butter pudding. Wonderful ambience, and we particularly enjoyed the music. The service was very good, and the food arrived faster than we expected.
E. M.
Really varied cocktail menu and all tasted delicious. Food was high quality and presented well.
Service was excellent; waiters were attentive.
Thanks for a great evening , will be back soon.

A Sunday roast to die for!!!
Perfection across the board for a roast at Papillon. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and beautifully fluffy on the inside, the portions were fantastic. Even the vegetarian option was lovely. And the service lived up to our expectations. Thank you for an awesome Sunday!
S. S. (.
Popped in for a few after theatre drinks and honestly these cocktails were super tasty and incredibly well presented. The Bee's Knee's was my favourite, honeycomby deliciousness. Staff super friendly too, really knowledgeable about the drinks and friendly to chat with. Prices super reasonable too! I'll definitely have to come back to check the food options which I'm sure are just as incredible. 5 stars!
S. A.
We went for a Friday night meal. The lamb rump and crab linguine were both delicious and the prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. The cocktail menu looked fab, and my friend enjoyed the ones she tried. As I was driving it would have been nice to have a few mocktail options, or even just a soft drinks menu.
L.
Went here with husband for my 30th. Cocktails were super tasty, staff was really friendly and food was amazing (I recommend the seared tuna starter, the miso mayonnaise it came with is out of this world tasty). Would definitely come here again and thoroughly recommend it.
M. W.
Hands down one of the best roast dinners I have ever had! The beef brisket is something special, 10/10. Definitely my new go to place for Sunday lunch, can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!
A. B.
Fabulous Sunday roast. So delicious. All the trimmings, red cabbage and cauliflower cheese included. Children's portions very big, for half the price, same fabulous quality. Restricted menu on a Sunday it seems, if you don't want a roast, but wow.... Have a roast. Thanks so much Maria and colleagues. Great building too with stained glass windows.
M. P.
Kept true to the original building which is fab, can't wait to eat here. However music is awful! Needs to be toned down and changed to something a bit more inkeeping or chilled house/ibiza. Pints weren't filled to the top and for £9 the cocktails should be to the top of the glass (it was tasty though!). Staff are finding their way, GM and BM a credit.
R. S.
We had the nicest lunch here earlier today. The food was absolutely delicious (the pea fritters that came with the fish were immense!) and the service was impeccable. All of the staff were lovely and Rosella in particular was brilliant - thank you for being so patient whilst we were trying to make up our minds about ice cream flavours!! This is a great restaurant, the staff are clearly well practiced in dealing with the busy periods before shows at the theatre opposite so I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for lunch before the matinee. The other great thing is that you can book a table online!
J. B.
My sister and I attended for a meal before a show at The Mayflower. Everything about our visit was perfect! Beautifully cooked, tasty and presented food. Great service and lovely ambiance. Louis took our order and served our drinks. He was very professional, friendly and informative. Would highly recommend this place and am sure we will return.
D. C.
Lovely food and staff, excellent service can't wait to go back. Thank you very much.
S. H.
I had a wonderful time at Papillon with my girlfriends! We are third years and are always looking for new places to go for drinks and I think we have found our new favourite! The bartender Amy was super friendly and chatty (we might invite her out with us next time) and made our visit really special. The drinks selection and interior was also lovely! Highly recommend
J. A.
Finally got the girls together for some long over due cocktails and found ourselves at Papillon! What a great bar! It was almost like we had our own mini masterclass with Dan the cocktail man. He was very knowledgeable and guided us to one’s we would like! Great service.
m. t.
Our first visit to the venue made an impression.* Very friendly staff. Nice busy atmosphere. However Chicken meal I chose was disappointing, very bland/ lukewarm sauce,just about edible.
Waitresses Amy and Claire showed genuine concern at my comment, and would advise the chef.*
Long story short, as they were so caring, decided to return next evening. Due to my difficulty to chose from the menu, it was arranged chef would do a pasta dish, which was absolutely delicious, and very much appreciated. **
Both of my husband's meals were enjoyable, but the pudding /brownie - just OK - very dry. Needed at least addition of cream.
Only four star given as we feel the venue still has a few issues to address. Not least cleaning the dusty rail running along the wall, at eye level, adjacent to the table on second floor. Not good!
R. D. (.
We came here for my bosses birthday a couple months ago and the service and cocktails were amazing- a very knowledgeable and skilled bartender was serving us. I then revisited this Sunday for my birthday dinner as I had heard the roasts were to die for. We were not disappointed! The best roast I have ever eaten out - I am vegan and the vegan roast was amazing. And my family had beef and pork and also raved about it. Lovely staff, beautiful venue and amazing food! I will be back!
R. J.
We were on a work trip from Canada with a group of 6 when we spotted this incredible restaurant/ bar that had been converted from a church.
The food was by far the best meal we had in the UK, the custom cocktails we had were delicious and unique, the ambience and architecture were incredible, and the bar supervisor (Aiden) went above and beyond to help us find a few hidden gems that helped make our trip amazing.
Highly recommend as a must visit!
L. A.
Came in for a Sunday roast with my partner, the Roast beef was absolutely superb. Atmosphere was really lovely, it was the first time I've been to the building since it became Papillon and it looks brilliant. I really recommend the biscoff espresso martini it was properly good. The service was outstanding and really accommodating, especially our waitress Amy who could not have done more to help - along with all of the rest of the staff. Overall really high quality experience and I'll definitely be coming again!
C. j.
we really enjoyed the food and general ambiance, staff were friendly and helpful. however, as first time visitors, we were unaware that the seating around the outside of the room was on high tables with bar stool height chairs which wasn't the easiest or most comfortable with a dodgy hip - on asking for a different table we were advised that we should have requested the central area of the restaurant on the booking form online ( they couldn't move us as all such tables had already been booked this way for 5.30 pm last night )
I'd also suggest requesting that you are not seated immediately beside the end of the bar as it was freezing! ( the heat from a central space heater simply past it by but the main eating area was very cosy )
we will certainly eat here again but will be better prepared next time:)
C. D.
Papill-unbelievable! Fantastic bar, lovely venue, brilliant service - will definitely be returning! Not normally a cocktail drinker but we were recommended a couple to try by the bartender and they didn't disappoint! So thank you Amy for the recommendations and lovely lovely cocktails. Can't wait to come back!!
S. B.
Had a lovely evening at Papillon with some friends and family, service was on point and the food was delicious! The lamb rump was to die for with, however the chocolate and hazelnut brownie absolutely topped off my evening! Cannot wait for my next visit, definitely recommend giving this gorgeous venue a visit 5*
M. D.
Ideal location for pre theatre dinner or somewhere a little different for special occasion. Previously known as the Vestry, this converted church retains many features to make a visit memorable.
H. K.
Lovely venue in a disused church. Came with my mum and sister for drinks before heading to the theatre. Parking on site which was very handy. My sister got the lemon meringue pie and I had the biscoff martini. both were deliciously made by Amy. will definitely come back, and give the food a try too!!
T. H.
What an incredible experience! The waitress Rosina was fabulous, she was so attentive! I ordered the beer battered cod at it was incredible! If you get a chance, try the Biscoff Martini made by Andreas, it is to die for! I would recommend this restaurant completely.
P. N.
Great place before going to the may flower theatre and the handsome man call Dan served me some great cocktails and he provide some info get back fixed. Not sure how it got to that conversation but this gel called advance 7 did a great job.
Highly recommend.
J. N.
Went to papillon for drinks and was really taken aback with the wonderful interior, lovely staff and tasty cocktails. Amy, our bartender, was happy to recommend some drinks and they all went down a treat. Will definitely come to try their food next time!
D.
Have been to this establishment twice nice, both times was perfect. Cocktails and food are amazing, not a single fault. Would highly recommend anyone visiting Southampton or living nearby to check it out at least once, you won't regret it.
K. P.
Came here for a date night with my boyfriend and it didn’t disappoint! The restaurant is super beautiful and the service was amazing! Rosina our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We had the fish pie which was delicious and the pink lemonade mocktail was super cute!
N. C. H.
Rosina served us and she was very friendly. Food and cocktails were really good 😊. We came for a meal before going to the theatre a few weeks ago. I would definitely recommend!
C. M.
10/10 atmosphere drinks and venue. Amy served us some lovely drinks and was very friendly and efficient. Got some lovely fresh olives as well from their bar snacks. Recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing evening
L. M.
Came in for a roast dinner today, definitely one of the best roasts I've ever had. Generous portions. Helpful staff. Lots of drink choices as well, the cocktails especially were very good.
L.
Fantastic building inside and out. Felt at ease as soon as we stepped inside as staff greated us in a very friendly welcoming way. Great service throughout our stay. Menu had changed which was a little disappointing but what was on the menu was good. Menu prices could be a little bit lower though. Don't let that put you off for a good evening. Thanks to all at Papillon. I'll be back for that glass. 🤣
J. W.
I visited papillon Southampton and the overall experience was amazing , the beetroot risotto was so yummy and we were served by a waitress named Rosina who was so friendly and welcoming! The fairy lights and candles on the tables also make the place look so pretty! Will definitely be visiting again!
R. G.
Best Sunday Roast and most incredible staff. Our group was so blown away by the care and service. The restaurant was the most memorable part of our stay in Southampton. Can’t wait to be back!
D. M.
Came in for a bite to eat and come cocktails after work with my partner. Food was fantastic, buts the cocktails were second to none! Big shout out to the bartender, Dan for making us some awesome drinks!
J. C.
Amy served us some lovely cocktails. Venue is stunning and a really relaxing environment. The hummus and breadsticks were great too. Will come back soon !
C.
Me and my mates came in last week, and we were left amazed by their cocktails. If you’re lucky you might even be able to get a off menu drink. The costumer service it’s nothing to laugh at either, our bartender James made sure of that, by being friendly, helpful, and made one of the best drinks I ever had, chocolate and banana rum old fashion. Will come again.
C. C.
Dan the bartender is a real credit it to your business his customer service is bang on!! We couldn’t get over how nice and efficient he was! The food is amazing and so are the drinks. Will definitely return just because of Dan!
R. N.
Where do I begin?! Blown away by the service and fabulous cocktails! I tried the gin garden and can’t wait to return and try the others. Special thanks to Amy, who served us, for being so accommodating and helpful (I’m not a cocktail connoisseur so needed a bit of guidance picking!!).
M. C.
First time we have eaten here, and we weren't disappointed. Upmarket restaurant with really lovely food, good size portions and great service. The conversion from Church to restaurant has been done beautifully maintaining all the elegance of the building. We were going on to the Mayflower Theatre matinée and were pleasantly surprised to find that that there was a special pre-theatre charge for 2 and 3 course meals. Will definitely visit again. Be aware that there are quite a few steps up to the upstairs restaurant area.
M. W.
Looking forward to a pleasant evening of food and drinks, we were disappointed to find Papillion in a state of disarray preparing to host a late night rave with staff more concerned with premixing vodka and redbulls than attending to their paying customers.
After chasing someone down to show us to our reserved table, we were finally brought to a cramped area upstairs set amongst an eyesore of stacked tables and chairs where we were made to wait 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive whilst listening to thumping drum and bass music, all of which was at total odds with the calm and ambient setting of the converted church.
Fortunately, the food itself was delicious and delivered promptly by our warm and friendly waiter, hence the higher rating. Overall, however, a disappointing experience in a venue that seems unsure of the demographic it is trying to cater to.
E. P.
Just visited Papillon for an evening meal. Last time I was here was over a decade ago. The place has been completely transformed and it looks great. The food was reasonably priced, well presented and VERY tasty. The staff very pleasant and attentive. All in all, it was a nice experience. I will definitely recommend it!
J. C.
You have to visit this beautiful bar and restaurant! We had an amazing lemon meringue pie cocktail made and invented by Chandler! Best cocktail EVER! We have been assured that this the place to come for the best Sunday lunch. We will be back to try! Fabulous!1
E. W.
The Bar staff named Dan is amazing! His cocktails are fab and he even made them non alcoholic for me due to being pregnant. Definitely recommend!
R. L.
Hands down the best roast in Southampton! The staff are super knowledgeable and you can tell they care. Aiden makes the best cocktails, on and off the menu. Very good experience, would rate 6/5 if I could!
c. b.
Absolutely class. Lovely spot for some good food and a delicious cocktail ( or 6 LOL). Incredible server Alex saw me and my wife through the evening very nicely ! Definitely another date night in order 10/10.
P. T.
A friend recommended papillon so we thought we’d give it a go, I was a little skeptical at first as My daughter is fussy but luckily they have a kids menu where we found sausage and mash which she really enjoyed. Over all a lovely venue for afternoon lunch. We really enjoyed sitting in the sun ☀️ on the outdoor seating. Our waitress rosina was super attentive and helpful. Thank you so much for giving us a lovely experience in Southampton
a. m.
Absolutely fantastic food,
But oh my word the cocktails were to die for!! Definitely a must try and ask for Dan he was the politest, best personality member of staff possible!
Dan thank you so so much for making our night
L. S.
Had a great dinner a few nights ago with a friend I hadn't seen in a while, food and service was excellent. The cocktail selection was also great for a clueless person like myself, Aiden helped me find something I would actully enjoy instead of just selling me on something that was easy to make like other bartenders sometimes do.
A. K.
Recently went for some incredible food with my partner. Didn’t realise the amazing cocktails they did to. Was served by a guy who made our night and have some great advice on cocktails to try. Can’t quite remember his name. Caucasian, male, short, bald head, stocky, aweful tattoos, manager? Think it might be Daniel.
100% coming back for a Sunday roast which was highly recommended by friends
I. G.
Great evening at papillon. really close to the station and city centre which is ideal. I had a lovely beef burger and my friend really enjoyed their beetroot risotto. After the theatre we returned, got 20% off our post theatre drinks which were wonderfully made by Amy. Will be back :)
T. P.
Had a pre theatre meal here before popping over the road to the Mayflower. We arrived a little before our booking time but the table was ready and waiting exactly where we asked to sit. The waiting staff were friendly and helpful. We both had a burger and fries as the pre theatre dinner menu isn’t as extensive as the a la carte but there was enough on there for most customers.
Over all it was a better experience than we’ve had before when it was the Vestry and the prices weren’t much different from the Mayflower Village pub across the road.
We’ll definitely use again.
L. L. S.
Absolutely amazing food I’d give 6 stars if I had the option! Couldn’t fault it at all, I’d definitely recommend. Dan did an amazing job serving me and gave a very good and professional service to help me with what I needed!
N. S.
Have been to Papillon a couple of times. Always served by Aiden on bar, amazing service and very attentive. Wasn’t sure on what wine to go for and he took the time to explain and find something suited to my taste. Can’t thank him enough for his kindness and service!! Will be back again for sure
C. N.
Our waitress Amy was brilliant. She was very friendly and knew what she was talking about. The service was very quick and she was very friendly. I had a great time and would go again 10/10 brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ I would give it 6 stars if I could
C. L.
First the restaurant closes too early. We were a party of 6 booked in for 8pm. On arrival ( naturally some came a bit late) we were informed that they close at 9pm. The food was very average. 2 guests ordered Hake in a sauce that was full of bones. Unacceptable as the thick sauce made it hard to find the offending bones. Some ordered desert which was missing some of the embellishments because they had run out. Certainly not a place I would recommend.
P. R.
We had pre-theatre lunch here, it was a lovely experience. The staff were very friendly, the food was fantastic. The service was very quick so we got away in time to go across for our booking at the mayflower.
S. G.
Really nice restaurant. I was surprised by how nice it looks there that they are offering only pub food but you'll be able to pick something. They have good cocktails and a nice bar downstairs.
A. P.
A birthday treat from my eldest son...wow ! My partner and I ordered the roast beef absolutely delicious..generous portion sized dinner..for starters I had the cauliflower soup again very very nice...my partner had the chicken turrine which he thoroughly enjoyed...atmosphere great...staff went above and beyond for service...looked after us both very well...highly recommended this venue..a great ambience...Will come back again...
N. M.
10/10! Popped in to Papillon for a single cocktail after going to the theatre and we ended up going through the entire cocktail menu! Mai Tai had to be our favourite - thought we were in the Carribbean drinking that! Special shout out to Amy for the cocktails and flashy bartender skills. We can't wait to come back!
J. B.
Had some lovely food and drinks here!! Was made to feel very welcomed by the bar man ,he was an absolute star!! I will 100% be coming back after the amazing service from Dan
G. H.
Really enjoyed my evening at papillon. Staff were friendly, the place was really pretty and clean and drinks were lovely. Amy was a great bartender. Will be returning! x
E. L.
Amazing service from waitress Rosina :), had a lovely time food and drinks were great, really recommend! Atmosphere was really nice and Rosina made us feel welcome , thanks for the food!
J. H.
Very nice place for a pre theatre meal. Also went back after as there is 20%of drinks, so had a sneaky cocktail. Lovely setting and we had a very attentive waitress. Only draw back was queuing after the theatre for drinks as there was only one bar person serving.
H. L.
Great place, great drinks choice, so many gins! Really clean as well, Amy was doing some great cleaning behind the bar and still served us really quickly and well! Thanks guys!
W. H.
Loved this place! Such a great vibe and the food is delicious! Our waitress Rosina was so kind and attentive, she really made our evening!
N. B.
Took my mum to papillon for a meal we really liked it. We ordered a few things and just shared between us which worked out good all the staff were very welcoming and the service was fast 💨 our waitress for my table was rosina
A. J.
Wow, this place is amazing, the converted church makes for an excellent venue and the food was excellent, the staff were brilliant, especially Rosie who looked after us for the night, thank you for a great night.
A. R.
Such an amazing venue to visit before and after theatre with great food and drinks. The waiters and waitresses are very attentive and welcoming. Will definitely be visiting again!
K. A.
Papillon is my new go to spot when I come down to Southampton. Came from london not to long ago on a day trip and found this little gem. The staff were lovely too, my waitress (Rosina) was brilliant, her customer service was 10/10 she recommended vegan and vegetarian items because of my dietary requirements and was very helpful and patient because I'm very indecisive. Would recommend highly and can't wait for my next visit.
p. m.
Heard a lot about the Sunday roasts here.
Won’t be going anywhere else in Southampton again after this, everything was superb.
Roast pork for me and beef for my wife, cooked to perfection and the vegetables were amazing, topped off with an amazing gravy.
Will be back V soon
N. W.
Had a lovely time, food and service was amazing. My server Rosina was fantastic, very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back again!

Visited Papillon prior to the show at the Mayflower, really good service and food was excellent. Aiden was very curtious and pulled out the stops to ensure our visit was memorable.
K. D.
Top food, drinks perfectly made and service was great! special mention to Dan real happy chap with a sense of humour to match, a real credit to the place. Will certainly be back when visiting the area.
D. S.
Love setting great range of drinks and food djs at weekend's lifts the atmosphere. Worth a visit before and after a show at the Mayflower theatre.
C.
Dined here with friends and the food was good. Our waitress Rosalind was very friendly and answered all our questions. I would recommend this restaurant, great food and staff
d. m.
I went into papillon on a date with my boyfriend, i’m not usually wowed by the bars and restaurants in southampton but this one pleasantly surprised me. Not only is the cocktail selection superb!! they are delicious. normally i shy away from ordering a mai tai in the UK as it doesn’t usually compare. however, papillon really understood the assignment. i must also say the bartender (amy, is her name i believe) who made our drinks was lovely and very impressed with her mixology skills
S. B.
Our waitress Rosina was so lovely, kept us entertained the whole night! Will definitely come back when we next have the money !
K. C.
AMY is that girl !! I’ve been to this bar twice this week while touring to the Mayflower Theatre and the staff (specifically Amy) have been ridiculously hospitable and understanding. Love it x
L. H.
The food was really good and the cocktails were amazing, we had a really nice bartender called dan 100% recommend going!!
c. g.
Visited Southampton for a couple of days and visited the papillon...very friendly lovely food service was amazing the young handsome man Daniel looked after us very well nothing was too much trouble deffo recommend and will visit again when we are down that way x
m. p.
Great location for a preshow meal at the Mayflower, great decor in this old building, menu a bit limited, only lost a star becuase one of our meals was cold, perhaps reflecting other reviews that the kitchen struggles at times.
T. R. B. M.
What a lovely place!! Dan is such a genuine person, he was very nice and polite and the cocktails he made were amazing!
L. P.
Really good food and great cocktails. Dan the barman was also really good and a great laugh Defo recommend.
C. S.
We came for the Sunday lunch and we're not disappointed. The restaurant is an experience in itself, a beautiful building with so much history. Great service from Christina and the team. Food was fab. Would highly recommend
G. P.
Lovely dinner experience! Beautiful venue with delicious, and reasonably priced, food. A great place for a special occasion. Our waitress Maria was very lovely!
k. S.
So pleased the fabulous Church restaurant /bar is BACK... A must before the Mayflower show...
Fantastic meal... Great service by Alex before our theatre show...
R. W.
Lovely food and surroundings. Friendly staff too. Service very slow as not enough staff to cope with a busy Saturday evening. We actually had to leave just as our desserts arrived as we'd waited over 30 mins after we ordered. I stated when booking that we had to leave by 19.15 for the theatre.. Looking around us, at least two other tables were frustrated by slow service. A real shame, they need to address the staff levels.
J. B.
Amazing place, lovely food and very welcoming staff. Daniel is my favourite member of staff very handsome always smiling and a very poilet young man
c. r.
The food and service was excellent one of best roasts I've ever had ..the only downside was they the great staff they have were seriously at a stretch and more waiters are needed
D. K.
Food was amazing, great atmosphere and our
waitress Rosina couldn’t have been any more attentive!
A. S.
The food was delicious, love the decor too. The service from Rob was fantastic, I'll definitely come back again.
k. g.
Had a lad called Dan serve me at the bar. Done some acrobatics with the cocktail. Ordered more than I should’ve.
B. C.
Rosellr looked after us perfectly for a pre theatre meal. Great service, lovely food and beautiful building, we will be back
J. K.
Had a lovely experience, came in for a Sunday roast and it was gorgeous, great service from my Waiter Rob, will definitely come again. ☺️
l. w.
Food was very good standard and a lot of different choices. All the staff were very efficient and helpful.
