| - My boyfriend and I were exploring Montreal over the weekend. It was busy and hot in this area of town, so we were looking for a cute place to sit outside and enjoy a snack and a cold beer.
Papillon looked like it fit the bill. We sat down at the only empty table outside and waited for a server to come over. We reviewed the menu available on the table and were watching everyone enjoy their drinks and food.
The table right next to us, a bunch of young guys, were just starting on a pitcher of beer. The server came outside with fresh drinks for the table in front of us, gave the table their drinks - took one look at us and said they were no longer serving anyone.
We thought we miss understood and said that were more interested in a drink than food, so it was okay if they weren't taking food orders. She said "no, we're not going to serve your right now"
So, yeah - we were rejected service. Its the first time I ever had that happen to me and everyone looked at us embarrassingly. We got up and left and noticed another group sat down at our empty table. I didn't stick around to see if they were served or not.
Honestly, the server took one look at my tattoos and I instantly felt we weren't served because of that. I have a large tattoo of trees on one arm. Nothing distasteful, but definitely noticeable.
Perhaps this place is great, when they decide to serve you. I'll take my money elsewhere, thanks.
