Cheap, tasty and healthy
- 127Bird On A Wire - PonsonbyPonsonbyThis is my favourite spot for picking up dinner on the go. The rolls are around $10 and they’re full of delicious free range pulled chicken, amazing sauce (korean bbq is the best) and veges. If you’re feeling super healthy go for one of their salads.
- 270DizengoffPonsonbyHalf and half - eggs and mushrooms on toast is a life changing experience on bread. Plus it’s cheap as chips and they do the best coffee in Auckland.
- 312Mamak Malaysian RestaurantAuckland CentralGrab a sambal curry for $14 - it’s healthyish and most importanly cheap/delicious. (if you don’t care about healthy too much, grab a roti to).
- 47MistersAuckland CentralAll the food here is cheapish, gluten free, organic, sugar free and all that other good stuff. So you don’t have to feel bad when you can’t stop eating their delicious fare.
- 512Tank Juice Bar DowntownAuckland CentralIn a rush and hungry? Grab the protein boost from Tank, it’s packed with all sortsa healthy stuff and it fills you up for only 7 bucks.

Best Burgers AKL
- 120Burger BurgerPonsonbyDo I even need to say it. Burger Burger makes the best Burgers in Auckland by a decent margin. If you want to taste perfection try their pulled pork masterpiece - it’ll change you.
- 220Velvet BurgerAuckland CentralIf you’re serious about burgers Velvet will satisfy your cravings. The menu is al big hearty gourmet creations and you can even enjoy a swappa of speights while you wolf down a big bro.
- 34Burger FuelGlenfieldThe third pounder with cheese is probably my very favourite burger in AKL. Burger Burgers are better techincally but something about this thing just rings my bells - go try it you won’t regret it.
- 417Burger QueenMt AlbertThey’re cheap, they’re straight ahead but lord they’re tasty. Used to be my absolute favourite Burger place before the likes of Burger Burger and Burger Fuel came and blew my mind.
- 597Carl's Jr - St Johns/Glen InnesGlen InnesI feel bad for including this. But that big BBQ Western is so bad its good. massive tasty fast food - far better than maccas or bk.

Best Coffee/breakfast In Auckland
- 170DizengoffPonsonbyHands down - the superior purveyors of flat whites, espressos and cappuccinos in Auckland. Their baristas are artists who serve it perfect every time.
- 223The Piha CafePihaMorning mission out to the beach? Go pick a cuppa up from the cafe - you’ll be suprised at how delicious it is.
- 311Little Sister CafeHendersonBest coffee out west - plus if you’re a lover of donuts these babies are a doughy delight.
- 43Eight Thirty - High StreetAuckland CentralEight Thirty are definitely one of my favourite bean brands, and these turkeys know how to make bean into beverage. Top notch cuppa.

A Guide to a Night of eating and drinking On Ponsonby Road
- 12JackPonsonbyBehind Harry and George you’ll find this wee hidden gem (ask at the bar if you can’t find it). Perfect to kick off your night relaxing with a few good cocktails and bad friends, or as a location for wooing someone special.
- 225Conch Records Kitchen and BarPonsonbyBrowse vintage records, drink good beer and eat Brazilian street food at this Ponsonby Road icon (which is probably the only place in the world where you can do all three of these things).
- 321Grand Central PonsonbyPonsonbyWhen your nights over and it’s time to go home - come here if you don’t know what’s good for you. My favourite bar in Ponsonby, where you’re guaranteed to get up to some mischief and/or fun with like minded scallywags.
- 414Ponsonby CentralPonsonbyBefore you start sinking Savs you better line your stomach with something hearty. Phenomenal establishments such as Burger Burger, Bird on a wire and Dante’s serve up amazing food, fast, cheapish and healthyish.
- 577Golden DawnPonsonbyIf you’re a moustachioed hipster and/or you prefer to be in a homely place where you can talk rather than a doof doof club come to Golden Dawn. There’s good beer, often great live music and the vibes relaxed and casual.

Best Malaysian in AKL
- 133Sri Pinang Malaysian RestaurantAuckland CentralSri Penang has to be the most authentic Malaysian food in Auckland. The place doesn’t look like much but order the nasi lemak with beef rendang or the chicken sambal and your mind will be blown.
- 231SeleraNewmarketJust like Sri Penang, Selera doesn’t look like much but it’s one of the tastiest and most authentic tastes of Malaysia in Auckland. Order the Mee Goreng noodles and smash some free green tea and you’ll find out why everyone loves this place.
- 312Mamak Malaysian RestaurantAuckland Centralone of my absolute favourite Malaysian joints in Auckland (second only to Mulan) Mamak serves the best Roti Cannai in Auckland all for a price that wont hurt your wallet.
- 424Mekong BabyPonsonbyIt’s Asian fusion - but the best of the menu is definitely Malay. Grab a nasi goreng and go for your life.
