Paris butter x NOBUO

This November, Paris Butter welcomes Michelin-starred Chef Nobu Lee of NOBUO Taipei — a culinary force whose story spans continents and philosophies.

Rooted in both Taiwanese and Japanese heritage, Nobu’s journey began as a dishwasher in New Zealand at just 17. From there, his path took him through the kitchens of Joël Robuchon in Paris, Yannick Alléno, Vue de Monde, and Clooney Auckland, where he became the first Taiwanese chef to earn three hats at the Cuisine Good Food Awards.

Now at the helm of his own Michelin-starred restaurant, NOBUO, in Taipei’s Dongmen district, Nobu is guided by a philosophy of Simplicity, Purity, and Honesty — a pursuit of thoughtful, contemporary cuisine grounded in sincerity and balance.

Joining forces with Zennon Wijlens and the Paris Butter team, this collaboration promises a meeting of minds and memories: Nobu’s refined restraint paired with Zennon’s expressive and innovative approach to creative New Zealand dining. Expect a menu that blurs borders — elegant, emotional, and deeply personal.
