Papillon, French and Caribbean on Palm Beach
Papillon brings French and Caribbean cooking to Palm Beach, Aruba, with Juan Ludeña leading the kitchen. The decor nods to the film Papillon. Through The Table Desk, an independent reservation service not tied to the restaurant, you reserve a date and time. We send your confirmation by email once the booking is made.
Classic French dishes sit next to island flavors on this menu. Dover sole meunière is served for two, and Caribbean lobster tail comes in garlic butter. Seared duck breast arrives with passion fruit sauce. Escargots and classic onion soup open the meal the traditional way, and a slow-braised wild boar shank adds something heartier.
Guests can choose the air-conditioned dining room or the outdoor terrace. A vegan menu includes an eggplant bouillabaisse, and an early bird menu is also offered.
Papillon appears in our romantic and family collections. Add a seating preference, such as terrace or indoors, when you book.
