Cafe Paci

We had a wonderful time dining here - the food was unique and really delicious without a ridiculous price tag! We really enjoyed the specials we ordered (the pasta and the Wagyu). The wait staff were warm and friendly. Would definitely come back again.

Wow!!! 5 out of 5 stars!! We have been meaning to try out Cafe Paci for so long and finally decided to make a reservation. The place was packed. Everyone in lively conversation. Very good vibes. We were seated by the bar and was served by the lovely bartender. We orders a pasi sour and cool as a kurkku. Both were phenomenal and so unique. We then ordered food: potato molasses bread, oysters, devilled eggs, tuna, stracciatella, potato dumplings, market fish (Murray cod) and the grape granita with amaretto ice cream. No notes, not a single fault. We enjoyed everything, particularly the potato dumplings and the cod. Would definitely revisit and would definitely recommend.

Perfect place for a low key, luxurious long lunch. All the dishes were delicious but the absolute standout was the market fish which was an incredibly generous 300g portion of Murray Cod. Dessert was oddly delicious. We both love chocolate and passion fruit but haven’t had the two flavours together somehow it worked really well. Thanks for a fab lunch and accomodating our food and seating preferences! Highly recommend.

Been waiting to try cafe paci for a long time and it did not disappoint. Everything was super tasty except the oysters - not very fresh and the fig and tomato dish, which was quite expensive for a few figs and not even one whole tomato. Otherwise all other dishes were outstanding. Bread, ceviche, ravioli, prawns and half roasted duck cooked to perfection and flavours well thought out. The pasi sour is like a dessert drink. Very fun. Would recommend for a special occasion.

Cafe Paci had been on my list to visit for quite some time now and with high expectations, it didn’t disappoint. As soon as we were seated, we were greeted by the warm and charismatic Cam. He walked us through the menu in great detail whilst also recommending stand out dishes like the ox tongue taco and beef a la plancha. Cam’s witty banter and attentive service elevated our experience that evening. He made us feel right at home while keeping the experience fun and engaging 🙌🏼 The food? Impeccable. The molasses bread was pillowy, slightly sticky and insanely addictive. The tacos just melted in your mouth and exploded with flavour. The steak was incredibly tender and rich. We honestly had an absolute BLAST here. The service was a true highlight and the food genuinely surpassed even my (already high) expectations. I can’t wait to come back!

Nigella Lawson raved about this spot. It didn’t disappoint. Delicious martini’s, delicious food, and wonderful service. Highly recommend the molasses bread and butter, the carrot and nduja, the scallop potato… ok, I’m about to list everything we ate. It was all amazing. Just do not pass up the bread and butter, ok? I’m still thinking about it days later.

Excellent food!!! We tried a variety of items on the menu, even went a little outside our comfort zone but in the end - all delicious!!! Definitely a wonderful birthday dinner! Margaritas get top rating! Strong and flavourful. Service was lovely too, they're a well oiled machine. Keep up the good work!

Came here after a long time of waiting for the right occasion and absolutely loved every part of the experience. Such a funky vibe and if you’re lucky enough to get a window seat, the best view in Newtown. Staff were experienced and professional. Food was AMAZING, we chose really well and everything was delicious. We already know what we’re ordering next visit because we couldn’t try everything! We will be back for sure and could not recommend it highly enough. Well done team Paci!
