Papillon In Lecce

Spectacular aperitif, highly recommended

positive combination of education, professionalism and good taste

The appetizer was generous, but I'd be more careful with the tasteless rice salads. The only thing I'd avoid is charging €2 per person for a place setting consisting of just a small plate, NO CUTLERY, NO NAPKINS, just the classic napkins made of that awful paper from the dispenser. I don't understand what the charge is for.

Papillon is a great spot for an aperitivo, especially if you want to stay close to the city center without dealing with the hassle of being right in it. Its location makes it easy to reach and much easier to find parking, which is a big plus. The place is ideal if you are looking for a mixed aperitivo with a variety of snacks, including both warm and cold options. There is a good selection of food that pairs well with drinks, and the range of alcoholic beverages is also quite satisfying. I had a prosecco and I can say it was genuinely good, not the usual low quality option you sometimes get at aperitivo spots, but actually enjoyable and well chosen. Overall, a solid choice for a relaxed and tasty aperitivo experience.

Best aperitif in the area, hands down! ❤️

I only had a coffee, but in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with kind and polite staff.

We took advantage of their takeout menu on New Year's Eve, and it was excellent value. Delicious!

On the evening of December 31, 2025, Bar Papillon provided catering service with its traditional, well-crafted meat and seafood appetizers. The first courses were also very popular, and to top it all off, the panettone and the cream filling, complete with piping bag, were complimentary. Truly excellent service with quality food. I recommend it without hesitation.

We're here now for an aperitivo, and I have to say that everything is truly excellent. It completely confirms what I'd seen in TikTok videos. For €10 per person, you get a super-large and well-prepared aperitivo (the photo shows two aperitivos). Good, fresh ingredients, and a wide variety—not your average, throw-in-the-box aperitivo. Excellent value, pleasant atmosphere, and friendly service. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back.

Excellent bar, where I recommend making a reservation. We actually had to sit outside. There's a shaded area both above and below the table. However, I'd recommend a patio heater for this cold period. Service is quick and friendly. The interior is also well-maintained. Reasonable prices for a well-composed aperitivo. Drinks are available separately. Plenty of parking available. Recommended.
