Ponsonby Road Bistro

Menu from Ponsonby Road Bistro website

We know "Ponsonby Road Bistro" is a favourite of The Wine List customers as it was one of our most tipped restaurants during our COVID years "Tip a Restaurant" campaign.

Reliably serving sophisticated bistro food for the last ten years, these guys are "safe hands" for your night out.  This restaurant is on my family’s’ list of "great steak" places.  A good wine at the bar with an entrée will sort out any weeknight in need of a lift (let them know if you’re off to a film down the road or a gig in town next). 


With a small menu that changes regularly and a strong wine list, the bistro's style is consistent and will keep you coming back.

Hotel Ponsonby

There is great joy in stumbling into a bar full of young trendy things. I love seeing them in their natural habitat. The first room at Hotel Ponsoby is reminiscent of the local pub, stand-up bar leaners and groups of people catching up. Stylish young things chatting and small-batch brewed beers, many of these on tap. But don't be put off!
Omni Restaurant, Auckland

This is my new favourite casual restaurant.  Easy, relaxed and delicious without the loud music. The perfect place to catch up with great friends.
Baduzzi

Baduzzi translates to Meatball in Italian, and in this vibey viaduct (tucked behind North Wharf) restaurant they are fantastic.  Stylish, Italian with impeccable service, what more could you want?  This blog has all the picks from their top Sommelier Andra Martinisi as well as an interview from our founding times in the deep dark well of COVID between owner Michael Dearth and Hospo Consultant Andrew Clapham.
