"Le Papillon is a fancy French spot on the western edge of San Jose that's been around for 45 years. They still do classic white-tablecloth service and the decor is slightly old-fashioned, but the beautifully plated food is firmly of the modern era. Seasonal tasting menus feature dishes like prawn crudo with kumquat and caviar, and red deer loin with huckleberry and golden chanterelles." - shoshi parks

"Le Papillon first opened in the heart of Silicon Valley in 1977 as a “continental-style” restaurant. While the it’s mostly stayed true to its roots in French fine dining, today’s Le Papillon feels rather contemporary. The tasting and prix fixe menus have kept offerings fresh as they change to reflect the season’s prime ingredients at their peak. Dining at the restaurant wouldn’t be complete without foray into the extensive wine list with more than 500 selections. Even with menu options that frequently evolve, the Grand Marnier souffle with fresh berries and cream has been on the menu since day one and is still the most popular dessert." - Paolo Bicchieri, Cathy Park
