- CChuckVIPNew Orleans / Louisiana •12 reviews5.0Dined on 15 Dec 2024The Papillion salad and special spinach salad were wonderful. The duck confit was one of the best I’ve had. The shrimp scampi was good, but at $35 for five shrimp over pasta, it earned the low rating for value. Our server, Savannah, was extremely nice and greatly attentive. The manager stopped by to say hello. A nice touch. Overall, a beautiful experience. I do wonder if in the future the menu might include different seafood dishes. We’d be more tempted to return if there were more seafood choices.More infoPapillon'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Mandeville•4.7

Discover Northshore
Many of the restaurants in the Northshore region of New Orleans are what you might call "no frills." Here, it's all about good food and good times. The lack of bells and whistles doesn't mean a lack of choices, though. Whether you're in the mood for classic comfort dishes, fresh seafood, Louisiana Cajun, or something else entirely, you're sure to find it here. Grab some beignets for breakfast before you head out on your day. Does a po'boy sound interesting? Try one for lunch. For dinner, it's time for some gumbo or jambalaya. Is it Monday? That means red beans and rice, of course.
