boulangerie Maison Papillon

Great food, staff were friendly and spoke some English which was great. All the food we tried was great and the coffee was definitely above average (especially when compared to others we tried in lille) We could see them preparing to cook the baguettes just away from the till which was lovely Tables downstairs and an area with plenty of tables upstairs too and we had no problem finding a space for breakfast on a Sunday

VenueVerdict's Trip Down Memory Lane at Boulangerie Maison Papillon! Four years ago, my family and I stumbled upon the charming Boulangerie Maison Papillon during our travels in Lille, and the memories of that delightful experience stayed with us ever since. So, when the opportunity arose to revisit this gem, we knew we couldn’t resist. Returning to this boulangerie felt like reuniting with an old friend, and we were not disappointed! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality. Despite our limited French-speaking skills, the staff at Boulangerie Maison Papillon proved to be exceptionally patient and helpful, going out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Now, let’s talk about the star of the show – the pastries! We couldn’t resist indulging in a selection of their signature tarts. The strawberry tart was a burst of summer sweetness, with perfectly ripe strawberries nestled atop a delicate, buttery crust. The raspberry tart was equally divine, boasting a tangy, yet luscious filling that danced on our taste buds. And then, there was the pistachio tart – an absolute marvel! The rich, nutty flavor of the pistachios harmonized brilliantly with the flaky pastry, creating a treat that was nothing short of heavenly. The attention to detail in each pastry was evident, and it was clear that these delectable creations were crafted with passion and expertise. We couldn’t help but engage in a small chat with the talented baker responsible for these mouthwatering delights. It was a pleasure to express our heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful taste and to witness the passion that goes into making each treat at Boulangerie Maison Papillon. Beyond the pastries, the ambiance of the boulangerie was providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere to enjoy our desserts. As we savored each bite, we couldn’t help but reminisce about the memorable moments we had shared during our previous visit, making this trip all the more special. We wholeheartedly recommend this haven of French delights to anyone looking for an unforgettable pastry experience. Whether you’re a seasoned francophone or, like us, just getting by with a few French phrases, the staff at Boulangerie Maison Papillon will ensure you feel right at home. We can’t wait for our next visit to create even more cherished memories with their delightful pastries and warm hospitality. Bon appétit!
