For over forty years, Le Papillon has carried out a tradition of serving the finest cuisine, beautifully presented in an elegant, quiet setting. Le Papillon was established in the spring of 1977 on a bustling street corner in what was to become the heart of Silicon Valley.  Owner Mike Mashayekh was driven by a single goal—to create one of the finest restaurants in the Bay Area.

The restaurant quickly flourished, building a loyal clientele with a taste for fine dining. With the technology boom of the late seventies, Le Papillon became the favorite restaurant for a new breed of executives, and as the high-tech industry evolved, so too did the restaurant. Frequent upgrades to the menu and wine list, as well as several remodels, helped Le Papillon set the standard for food, service and atmosphere in the South Bay.
