Our Nov/dec stay at Cofresi included eating close to the beach So El pilion was our eating establishment, keep in mind during slow season (not high season) this building was the buffet for the Cofresi side, it was used due to closing down the “Pearl...“ so our experience here was based on it being a buffet We enjoyed the hard working employees eager to please us, making sure we had enough drinks and clearing dishes off the table, etc The salad bar was quite good with three types of lettuce and a beavy of fresh fruit and other veggies Overall it was quite enjoyable, the only downside was the newly remodeled men’s bath with it not being completed At that time it lacked 2 urinals, and no soap to was hands (we brought our own) A recent visit to the next door Tropical included a stop at the “pilion “ finding it had reverted to its normal restaurant mode The men’s now includes a second urinal and ta da now a soap dispenser So our experience was most positive at this location There is a waiter we would like to give a shout out for who went over and above for service We don’t remember his name but he wore “white “ colored glasses If you visit here make sure he is your waiter and he will impress you too Make sure to bring $1 tips and or candy, they enjoy this a lot and tend to render better service Best of all just enjoy your vacationMore

BEST DINING EXPERIENCE EVER! I WILL BE BACK AGAIN!!! Thomas is such a gracious host in the food and atmosphere combined made this an incredible dining experience. What a wonderful place, magical really!

My second trip was as good as the first!!!! Best Restaurant and meal I have had in my life!!! Tomas never disappoints!!! See you next month Tomas!!!

Tomas will greet you upon entering you can tell instantly that He is delighted you have chosen LePapillon. You will enjoy the open air dining area, unique and interesting decor.. you will soon perceive the great pride Tomas takes in His Restaurant, service and your...complete satisfaction. Order anything on the menu, you will not be disappointed, Tomas is so willing to please, so ask Him any questions. He is always cordial, witty and a pleasure to be with. I have dined at LePapillon about 20 times, always with my Wife and several other friends. We have all enjoyed every visit. Tomas is a world class chief whom we all would give 10 stars if possible. There is a reason why LePapillon is rated #1 year after year, this is not by Tomas simply trying harder, He Just Does It. Superb steaks last nigh Tomas. For all you do, Hungry Man says THANK YOU.More

We visited with Tomas on November 10 I emailed Tomas a special request and he came through with flying colours Thank you Tomas Bill & Linda

My wife and I have been coming to the DR for 9 consecutive years. We stay with friends at their private residence near Sosua. A visit to Le Papillon is a must during every visit. It’s Number One of all restaurants in Puerto Plata for...a reason namely, Chef Thomas who provides excellent service, congeniality, and cuisine par excellence. Might be No. 1 in all of the North Coast.More

The moment you walk in it is a friendly atmosphere. Thomas welcomes you with open arms. Fabulous food! Definitely a spot I would go to more than once!
