The story
Petit Papillon - Brasserie & Bistro, at Ölmühlensteg 17 in Nordhorn, is a French brasserie that earned 2 Kochlöffel in the Schlemmer Atlas 2026. The restaurant sits in the city park and runs a French bistro kitchen with a daytime lunch card and a longer evening menu.
The Schlemmer Atlas highlights steak tartare, bouillabaisse, shrimp and lobster ravioli, and entrecôte. The house bouillabaisse and Boeuf Bourguignon sit alongside Flammkuchen and a ham and cheese toast on the lunch card. The evening menu offers the full range of French kitchen classics, with some dishes reinterpreted.
Lunch mains include Steak & Frites, Loup de Mer and the house pasta. A water comes free with any main course at lunch, along with bread and sea salt butter. Fresh Gillardeau oysters are served at any time of day.
