Paris Butter

Would recommend. Worth Trying. Nested in a neighborhood setting, offers a more relaxed private dining experience where it feels the whole restaurant opened just for your booking. Overall it's a refined experience, perfect for date nights and special occasions. You won't be disappointed. Liked: Wagyu Tri-tip. Wasn't expecting a cheaper cut, but the execution was absolutely spot-on perfect. Tasted like it was treated with a quick smoke/binchotan, absolutely devine. Beetroot Sorbet: Clean, not too sweet, citrus rinds brighten the end. Perfect finisher. Should be served after the caramel cake (I'd scrap the cake altogether). Bread and butter: Bread wasn't cut fresh, or it was but the reheating left it dry. truffle/garlic butter was very delish. Mushrooms : intense flavours, very moreish, belongs in a pie. A little too much as a main, but flavours amazing. Potato (snack): Some kind of miso? based potato puree soup. One of the best I've had. Huge umami. Slight bonito undertones. Below Par: Fish - both fish dishes were lacking in execution. The cooked fish was overdone, the raw starter was lukewarm and lacked texture with a slight fishy aftertaste. Although evolution menu sounds short at 6 courses, they bring out many snacks and bites at the beginning and end, so I wouldn't worry. Drinks $20+ Service was immaculate, I liked the touch of warm towels and the little gift at the end. $175pp. Takes AMEX. Reservation is required.

We went to Paris Butter for the first time yesterday and we were not disappointed. We had a 7:30pm reservation for the 7 course menu. Every dish was executed with such perfection. The chefs play with the beautiful flavours of the quality ingredients. They utilise texture and colour so well, that every mouthful is a different experience. The chefs bring the dishes to the table and explain each item on the plate. The chefs also cater very well to dietary requirements - be sure to mention this in your booking. The staff also confirmed this when we arrived. We had delicious duck mains, in place of the beef. The duck was so beautiful and tender. I'm very picky about how meats are cooked but I had no complaints. The waitstaff were wonderful and attentive. They were very warm and friendly but also didn't disturb active conversation. They were smooth in collecting dishes and also made sure to refill water without disruption.

Absolutely perfect. I had started to get a bit disillusioned with degustation fine-dining as the last few I've been to just hadn't met my expectations, Paris Butter redeemed the category for me! Everything from the moment we entered till we left was perfect. The food was super delicious, presentation superbly immaculate, atmosphere was spot on and the staff were just the best. I could go on about each dish we had but what's the point, it's going to change there's only tasting menus so just get down there and dig in.

Fine dining at its finest. Had the great opportunity to dine here while they were having a collaboration with Lillius (another great fine dining restaurant). Starting with snacks and ending with snacks, I was able to taste so many different unique flavours. The food was presented very professionally and the taste was beyond imaginable. The staff were attentive and great. This place is a must-go if you are wanting to experience some French fine dining.

Great restaurant. My wife and I dined here tonight and having heard of it before but never been, were looking forward to some fine food. We weren’t disappointed. From the chefs take on classic kiwi dip in the shape of NZ (immaculately done) to the delectably complex chocolate dessert the food did not disappoint. The service was also nothing short of perfect. There when you needed something with great charm and banter and also left to enjoy the meal. Credit to the entire team. Will definitely recommend.

ParisButter was highly recommended by our friend who goes there regularly and it didn’t disappoint. The service and ambience is elegant and the food is just amazing. The value for money is actually very good compared to other expensive fine dining restaurants in Auckland and come in generous portions. Also beware that the menu and wine list changes frequently as well so be prepared to be surprised every time you visit! We came here for our wedding anniversary which was perfect but it’s also very suitable for group or small party settings! Highly recommended!!
