About The Butler

Step past Victoria Street's facade and Potts Point drops away into lush foliage and direct Sydney skyline views. The terrace fills fast around golden hour—cocktails clinking under fairy lights while the kitchen sends out sharp Latin-skewed plates. Regulars zero in on the octopus tostadas with spiced ancho mayo and duck flautas dressed in salsa negra. Sharing is the move here, anchored by slow-roasted lamb barbacoa and crisp king prawns coated in red chilli brown butter.

  • Skyline Terrace Dining: Tucked behind the streetfront, the botanical open-air terrace frames panoramic views of the city skyline and Sydney Tower.
  • Ibero-American Shared Plates: Share-focused dishes spotlighting octopus tostadas, duck flautas, and slow-cooked lamb with bold Latin and Mexican influences.
  • Milestone Celebrations: A regular backdrop for birthdays and anniversaries, backed by personalized hospitality and celebratory touches.

  • Unforgettable Milestone Celebrations

    Celebrations like anniversaries and birthdays are elevated with bespoke hospitality, including thoughtful photo assists and personalized sparkler surprises for dessert.

    Went there for my birthday dinner and was blown away by the view, atmosphere, food and service! Our server Tom was so great. He made sure my birthday experience was top notch even making sure we got good pictures with the city skyline in the back.

  • Inventive Ibero-American Share Plates

    Dishes like octopus tostadas paired with spiced ancho mayo and king prawns in red chilli brown butter showcase balanced, innovative South American and Mexican flavors.

    The octopus tostadas were the sleeper hit. Perfectly tender octopus paired with spiced ancho mayo and just enough celery for freshness, all sitting on a tostada that delivered real crunch instead of collapsing into itself.

    The Butler is a hidden gem. From the outside, it looks small, but when you walk in, you discover a large green space. Loved the atmosphere!

    The service was exceptional; attentive, fun, accommodating… after we told them that my partner had proposed to me that morning, they made us feel so special.

  • Octopus Tostada

    Also, the octopus tostada is one of the best things I’ve eaten in Sydney.

  • Confit Duck Flautas

    The highlight of the starters was the confit duck flautas, which I felt had a delicious combination of the crunchy exterior and soft meat on the inside.

  • Snapper Crudo

    I started with the snapper crudo, which was exactly what you want from a dish like that. Clean, sharp, and cold in the right way, with sour yuzu bringing brightness and the scampi caviar adding just enough salinity to give it depth.

  • Lamb Barbacoa

    We had the scallop tostada, heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, tuna tartare, chorizo AND the lamb barbacoa and Duck Carnitas. It was absolutely faultless from start to finish.

  • Grilled Broccolini

    The grilled broccolini, finished with karkalla, finger lime, and green mole, was crisp and vibrant, with bright acidity from the finger lime cutting through the earthy depth of the sauce.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, seating, and accessibility to make the most of your visit

  • Layer up for terrace dining in winter

    If you plan to sit outside on the open terrace during chillier or windy months, layer up or dress warmly to stay comfortable while enjoying the skyline.

  • Time your visit for golden-hour views

    For prime terrace lighting and golden-hour city vistas, schedule your table before noon or timed around sunset rather than mid-afternoon.

  • Note stair access for mobility needs

    Reaching the main dining floor requires descending a set of stairs from street level, which is an important consideration if anyone in your group has mobility requirements.
