My favourite restaurant in Auckland by far! Peruvian-Japanese deliciousness. Sexy, understated restaurant with a cool vibe and an equally cool bar. Food is always perfect.

Another excellent eatery in Ponsonby. Asian Fusion perfection for a casual night out. If it's warm the best seats in the house are the benches on the footpath for people watching along Ponsonby Road. If it's a bit chilly the heaters can come on and blankets will be offered!

The desserts are almost too beautiful to eat. Tiny spot filled with gorgeous cakes, gelato and terrines of perfection. Hard to walk in without walking out with a sweet treat!

Amano (the bakery side) has a cabinet that is hard to pass with some amazing lunch offerings and equally mouth watering fresh salads and pressed juices. Great spot to pick up a takeaway container and squat on a bean bag at the grassy lawn of Takutai Square, a 30 second walk away.

One of Ponsonby's most iconic spots. The staff are fabulous, the food is always excellent and they do one hell of an Espresso Martini. Sit on the sidewalk and you'll watch Ponsonby walk by.
