Good honest food perfectly cooked and seasoned. Lovely people. A great destination is Ponsonby Road with a great ambiance and people with character and style. Share your light and lift them up even higher.

Charming service and unique wine list matched always by exquisite food.

If you want great wine, food & service all in one come here! I've never been disappointed.

Whether you’re looking for a sunny spot for a long ‘work’ lunch, or a cosy place for a late dinner with friends, the ever-popular Ponsonby Road Bistro gives you options. I haven’t had a meal here yet when there wasn’t a big group dining in with something to celebrate.

Delicious local food to suit all tastes, right on the main road of Ponsonby.

Great menu - try the seafood option of the day, or the consistently great steak, salad & chips. Superb service.

Amazing atmosphere - just an all round great place!

I came here for dinner with my boyfriend to meet my cousin who was visiting NZ. We were all impressed with the quality of our meals at very reasonable prices, and the 5 star gold service we were given. The atmosphere was very relaxed and I wouldn't hesitate in coming back here again soon.

Disappearing off the late night hustle bustle of ‘Ponsnobby Road’ we find ourselves walking through big heavy doors & under lush curtains - what have we gotten ourselves in for? Were seated at the bar while our table is cleared, given menus & asked if we’d like a glass of anything fabulous. It’s then I notice the vaguely familiar interior of the Ponsonby Road Bistro. I relax into their bar seats, just as were taken to our corner table, snuggled up to the fire place. Our waiter is tall & alert, making sure were comfortable. A short time passes before we realized we only wanted desert & wine - two of the best things in life! A chocolate pudding & fruit crumble arrive. We sat admiring, for what felt like a life time, then it began! The food is amazing, the service is impeccable, the atmosphere is lively - and their bathrooms are just, breathtaking! I will return, time and time again. See you soon, PRB.
