Amazing meal... and to put it simply...You have to have the bread and truffle butter. The beef tartare and Salmon Gravalax is as good as you'll get anywhere, the steak au poivre (beef cheeks) came to us highly recommended and lived up to it every mouthful. Duck pie was a generous portion of delicate pastry with enough flavours inside to keep anyone happy. We ordered the Kale and bitter lemon salad side which was a fabulous mix of flavours. Dulce de Leche creme brûlée and Cafe au chocolate had the sweet that we were hankering for to round off our meal. More than adequately accompanied by a supremecoffee. Great meal with matching service from the amazing Becca to celebrate a birthday. We'll be talking about the truffle butter for some time to come!!

What an amazing place. The food was exquisite. Probably the best we have had in New Zealand. I will recommend Paris Butter to everyone.

Paris Butter, which started its journey as more classic French fare and has now graduated to modern French fine dining-meets-Kiwi cuisine, pairs elegant decor with equally classy food. Their Menu du Chef is absolutely one of the best tasting menus on offer in New Zealand - read our full review on TheLuxeologist.com here.

Love this place. Elegant and beautifully decorated. A perfect place for a romantic date.
The Menu De Chef is highly recommended.

The snacks is amazing and made to perfection.
We love everything that was plated except for the last 3 treats. I would rate 4.5 star but there is only 4 or 5

The combination missed the mark, strictly base on our pallate.

The service is excellent and definitely recommending this place to others.


.
If there is only one thing that make me rate 4 or not 5 was the last 3 dessert.

Came here for a 7 course degistrstion secret menu two days after alert level 3 had been lifted. Because of Covid restrictions, we were lucky to get a reservation on a Friday night. Place was empty at first but slowly filled up around 7pm onwards. Each table was thoroughly spaced out which allowed nice privacy and ambience to meal. Food was absolutely delicious and creative to boot. Service was friendly and waiters had a good knowledge of their food and wine selection. We did have to wait quite a bit between the last three courses but we attributed that to the possibility of it being busy with takeaway as well as dining services. Prices were reasonable and comparable to other fine dining restaurants. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

I had the menu du chef and was pleasantly surprised. I loved all the innovative little starters and all the dishes were consistent. The reason for 4 stars not 5 is I think compared to other fine dining in Auckland, Paris butter is still lacking a bit. I enjoyed all the food but I wasn't blown away by each dish. If their main dishes had the level of innovation of their starting treats then this would be a 5.
Personally also liked how small and cosy the restaurant was. Didn't feel obnoxious.

Long overdue, I thought I'd share my lovely experience at ParisButter.

My family took me here for my 25th birthday and I had a great time. I hardly had time to take any pictures of all the nice dishes they served, but I managed to get a few.

The standout dish for me would be the sourdough bread with the truffle butter. That may sound boring but it was actually so damn delicious. Definitely go for the package that includes the sourdough bread and truffle butter!

For dessert, they even gave me a birthday card which I really appreciate. They also have a nice selection of drinks, plus my personal favourite, craft beer!

The staff here were lovely and very professional. The relaxed, tranquil atmosphere also adds to the experience.

Be prepared to fork out a few dollars for this fine dining experience, but its definitely worth it!

Excellent meal at Paris Butter. Staff were friendly and very helpful from the moment we walked in and answered all our questions. The food was amazing, well presented and were very good portions. The flank steak (main) was a highlight, as was the honey and ginger dessert. All the other courses had elements we enjoyed (e.g. the black garlic, herb oil, fresh fish, whipped butter). The snacks and treats were also a fun addition to the meal, highlighting some great New Zealand food ideas like onion dip, trumpet cones etc. Our only complaint was that we didn't feel the kingfish course compared well with the other courses on offer and fell a bit flat in relation. However, it was still good. I really liked the focus on local New Zealand producers and trying things that we wouldn't ordinarily eat. We will definitely return! FYI, this menu is seasonal so will change over time (and potentially on the day as the chef may decide to be creative!)

Have been here twice for dinner , really like their deco!
We had their 6 course dinner both times , one year apart , love every single dishes, was amazing dinner both times.
Note: I would buy their home made butter if they sell them! I cannot believe how much bread I had with that butter spread!

Definitely one of the place we will bring our friends visiting us from overseas.

Excellent from start to finish. Food was superbly plated, great combinations - inspired but not weird. Every mouthful a sensation! Flavours were subtle but delicious like the minute thyme jelly squares in the pino colado dessert - a lovely surprise and so refreshing. Service was also fantastic - warm and friendly and super professional, no pomp or affectation! We had an unusual salmon sashimi-type starter with pieces of salmon rolled into sliced seaweed 'crazy pavers' - visually stunning, fresh, tasty with minuscule rolls of cucumber and courgette filled with things I don't remember what, but they were divine. For main course we had market fish - terakihi, soft full and juicy with a corn theme - colours, texture and flavours that were delicate, delicious and very satisfying. The dessert I'll leave as a mystery to be discovered.  Oh, and the truffle butter, you could go just for that! Nick Honeymann also runs a restaurant in France. Well that explains some .... :) 
You can have 2 courses, 3, or a degustation menu, and they're very happy to accommodate dietary requests.  Can't wait to go back.

It was a dinner with a degustation menu at Paris Butter. It started with a number of snack dishes - egg cocotte, Monk fish; Nori rice tuile; gougère; potato & truffle veloute; chicken liver parfait & truffle butter with bread. The first entrée was venison tartare; the second entrée was pork & mushrooms in ravioli. The rivioli dish had a wonderful taste (& flavour). The main was lamb & braised beef cheek. For the desserts, we had rhubarb & coconut ice-cream, chocolate & lemon donuts, & snickers chocolate mousse with hazelnut ice-cream.
It surely was a lovely dinner - every dish had something special in it. The egg cocotte & the Monk fish were particularly good.

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.

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 visited just before New Years and had a fantastic meal (Evolution menu) with Wagyu rib and eye fillet as the mains. I loved every dish; the trevally and scallop with asparagus were my favourite. The orange dessert reminded us of our beloved and prolific orange tree. Well worth a visit!

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.

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!!

Went in for the collaboration with Teresa, food and cocktails were perfect and was easily the best dining experience I have ever had. We even got to dine at the young industry table which gives passionate people a chance to experience this incredible restaurant. Can’t wait to visit again

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.

Had a lovely evening here. Beautiful presentation. French style. Tasted delicious, but not as memorable as I would expected. The snacks were the highlight. Service was good.

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.
