Tier Achieved:
Mythical. Spotless AND the best of the best.
Like a unicorn — squeaky clean with top-tier food. This is the dream. Book it.
Le Papillon isn’t your average cafe; it’s a breath of fresh air with its organic offerings and charming atmosphere. Solomon and Emma have created a little oasis in the middle of nowhere, serving up lunches that are not just meals but experiences. The homemade mocha seems to be a crowd-pleaser, while pastries like almond croissants and pain au chocolat steal the show. You’d think you’d stumbled into a Parisian café, but no—this gem is right here in the Cotswolds.
However, not everything is perfect in paradise. A couple of disgruntled patrons have pointed out that service can be hit or miss, and one poor soul had a rather rude interaction. But with the beautiful local ingredients and mouthwatering creations, it’s easy to overlook the odd hiccup. If you're looking for a wholesome escape from the city noise, this is your spot.
