About

Savor classic French dishes with Caribbean flair at elegant restaurant Papillon, offering al fresco and indoor dining.

Frenchman Henri Charrière, named after a butterfly (papillon) tattoo on his chest, was the first convict to escape from Devil’s Island. His thrilling story is the concept behind Papillon Restaurant.

The design, décor, and especially the restrooms wink at the thirteen terrible years Papillon spent in prison in French Guyana. The menu reflects the Frenchman’s arduous journey to freedom: classic French dishes have been dusted with daring Caribbean flair.

Because a restaurant can only serve the best and most tasteful dishes using fresh ingredients, we make the most out of the seasons throughout the year. Our monthly specials play into this to let you enjoy fresh produce with optimal taste.

For early birds we serve a special priced 3-course menu from 5-7 pm daily, including a free glass of wine.

We are located in The Village Mall, a small entertainment area across from Hilton. Our spacious outside terrace is perfect for casual fine dining in Aruba.
