Paname Social

No, it's not another name for Panama. Paname is actually the nickname that Parisians have given to their favourite city in the world.

The capital, with all its promises of love and adventure, is the core inspiration for this social hub in Auckland's CBD. They've captured that Parisian chic so effortlessly that Paname certainly wouldn't be out of place around the corner from the Arc de Triomphe or the Eiffel Tower. Glossy and seductive, its floor-to-ceiling windows offer a glimpse into a lavish yet approachable world that is modern and traditional at the same time. High ceilings lend Paname an innate grandeur, whilst the ultra-contemporary lighting, modern take on bistro seating, and oceans of space bring the French bistro very much into the 21st century.

On the menu are, of course, treasures of the Parisian kitchen. The kitchen rustles up plenty of traditional plates that have been modernised for an extra bit of sparkle. From fresh salmon tartare with crispy crostini to the charcuterie platter with deli delights and an unbelievable duck liver crème brûlée, they waste no time in showing off their gastronomic expertise.

As for bigger plates, only the finest ingredients will do. We're talking a tender lamb shank with creamy carrot mash, the daily butcher's cut with a stunning red wine jus, and fresh salmon tagliatelle with a creamy white wine sauce. As for the thirst quenchers, the finest French and NZ crushed grapes enter the fold, making for a covetable wine cellar that hits all the right notes.

Ah Paname, nous t'aimons.
