Really special restaurant in Auckland and surprisingly easy to book. We had the 8 course evolution menu. Many well known and loved kiwi flavours and ingredients combined in a very creative and delicious way. We especially loved the hapuka dish. Giving them 4 stars just because of the mishap with my dessert - found a piece of metal scourer in the dish, and the replacement was missing a component. No compensation until we mentioned it again when paying. We finished with a complimentary bitter dark chocolate mousse that we didn't like and could not eat. Other than this, we were impressed by everything and loved the additional gift of their house made smoked honey and muesli. A must try restaurant in Auckland.
From the moment you walk in to you leave the service is on point. Knowledgeable staff to amazing food made a perfect night. This restaurant is a must if you’re visiting Auckland. The cooking techniques are a different level. I would definitely return.
If you're looking for top-notch service and a tasting menu that hits all the right notes, this is the place to be. Every dish was a thoughtful blend of flavors that left a lasting impression. The staff was not only incredibly friendly but also attentive, making the whole experience feel even more special. It’s clear they know how to balance creativity with execution—each course felt like an exciting, yet comforting journey. Worth every penny.
Review from our visit in June 2024 From start to finish, Paris Butter delivered an absolutely brilliant dining experience. Every course of the eight-course tasting menu was masterfully crafted, with incredible balance, flavour, and presentation. The highlights included: - Beetroot venison – rich, earthy, and beautifully prepared. - Scampi with butternut and sour cream – a stunning balance of sweetness and acidity. - Duck with madeira and meringue – a creative and indulgent combination. - Potato velouté with tsuyu – silky, umami-packed perfection. - Fish with fermented herb, pancetta, and turnip – delicate yet deeply flavoured. - Beef with XO and carrot – an incredible savoury depth. - Cucumber with passionfruit & rhubarb with rose – refreshing, vibrant, and the perfect ending. Even the breads and kiwi onion butters were exceptional – every element of the meal was thoughtful and executed flawlessly. Service was impeccable, the pacing was perfect, and the experience as a whole was elevated fine dining at its best. Without question, Paris Butter is a must-visit for any food lover. Easily a 5-star experience. Would return in a heartbeat!
By far the best dining experience we ever had! There are truly no words that can describe the amount of professionalism we had from start till finish. Each dish was a mind blowing experience. The staff is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable on every level.
