I hadn’t been here since before covid and it was just as delicious as I remembered. Started with a wonderful brut rose sparkling wine and the cold sesame noodles, then seared tuna served over cucumber salad. The tuna was seared perfectly and wonderfully tasty. Had sorbet trio for dessert, which included strawberry, raspberry, and jackfruit; the mild jackfruit was a great contrast to the sweetness of the other two flavors. Also had chocolate-banana lumpia, basically an egg roll with banana and melted chocolate inside. The restaurant was busy and despite the tables with 6-8 people, we were able to talk easily, no need for shouting over others. All in all, a great meal with terrific service and fantastic food!

Combine guests’ favorite recipes of 46 years as a revered Memphis dining establishment with extraordinary chef-created offerings, and you have the popular, award-winning Paulette’s Restaurant.

Paulette's superb food, professional service, and warm atmosphere are consistent and unsurpassed. Tender steaks, fresh fish, Sunday Brunch, hot popovers with strawberry butter, and amazing desserts have afforded the restaurant national fame. As one food critic put it, “Paulette’s is a Memphis institution and for a very good reason.”

Paulette’s is known as Memphis’ most charming and attractive restaurant with an unparalleled ambiance and the most appealing river setting. It blends beautifully into the scenic, much acclaimed, planned community of Harbor Town. It’s accessible by way of oak tree lined North Parkway, which continues past the Pyramid and over the Willis Bridge spanning the Wolf River Inlet.

We were staying at the River Inn of Harbor Town. We needed to leave early for a graduation ceremony on Saturday morning. We requested to have our breakfast ready to go by 7 am. They had our breakfasts ready on time and they were delicious. (thank you!) On Sunday, we dined in at the restaurant. We all ordered different items and they were all good. Our server was nice and professional. Next time we are in Memphis, we would definitely dine there again.
