Outstanding culinary experience. Unrivalled for professionalism. The food was an adventure! The unique combinations and the artful crafting of each dish was sublime. We pared the degustation menu with their wine selection - I went NZ and my partner International. The selection was excellent and complemented each dish perfectly. We appreciated the insight we had to each dish and wine paring. We had a fabulous evening which was truely memorable. It was dear - even with a first table reduction, but worth every cent. Thank you Paris Butter!

We are frequent customers since Paris Butter opened, and they never disappoint. Their ambience and service is always top notch. Their latest tasting menu is slightly weaker but still excellent with a mild Asian influence. The salmon in a consommé, wagyu end-cap, and honey-thyme-orange dessert were all stand-outs for us. Booking ahead is a good idea.

This was my second visit here, and it was just as amazing as the first time. The customer experience is supreme. Every staff member is attentive and knowledgeable about every dish they serve. You cannot fault any of the degustation dishes, they are all superb and the oysters are to die for! My 2 visits were within 2 months of each other and it was fantastic that the menu was different this time around. The goody bags were a lovely gesture for brekky the next morning. Thank you Paris butter!
