Original owners Nick and Sina Honeyman now share this Herne Bay treasure with Catherine George and Zennon Wijlens and what was once a classic French bistro is now offering one of Auckland’s most talked-about dégustation menus and pushing boundaries with regard to experimentation and creativity. From a vinegar meringue with duck liver parfait, Madeira jelly and duck-heart katsuobushi to a delicate crayfish tartare with flavours of ponzu and kombu dice, or a wagyu sirloin glazed with a Cromwell cherry teriyaki and then barbecued and served with an onion and treacle jus, Paris Butter is drawing the eyes of the culinary world to Aotearoa and showcasing our finest ingredients. With a drinks list that is thoughtful and generous, this is a restaurant run by focussed professionals that deserves your applause. Check website for opening hours SET MENU: 6 courses $165 per person
