The Ponsonby Road Bistro

Came here with a BFF for lunch to celebrate his impending PhD and, after being well Greeted & Seated by the soliticous Maitrede, we enjoyed a Beautiful Food experience here. The menu offers good choices and the food you fancy is elegantly presented at a perfect pace by knowledgeable staff.

Bonus: We also enjoyed the bottle of 'well breathed' 2004 Stoney Ridge that we had had brought with us; no fuss, no bother.

Fantastic restaurant, would highly recommend. Excellent service, great atmosphere, and delicious food. We dined here for a special occasion and the staff couldn't have done a better job at making it a special night. We bought along our own birthday cake and the staff made it very easy and bought it out as a surprise at the perfect time. Thank you!

I booked a table for 5.2 adults and 3 kids to celebrate my wife's birthday.

Before I went there, I called them to find out if I can bring a cake. They have no issue with that at all. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the friendly staff and they took us to our table. They were very friendly and accommodating. They went through the menu with us and they were willing to prepare fish and chips for our little one.

We ordered a chef special entrée which is pork meatball with tomato sauce and fried sage; a fish and chips, a confit duck with asparagus, peas, French lentils and quince jelly; a market fish which is john dory and a chargrilled medium rare eye fillet with chunky chips and herb-garlic butter.

The mains are abit small in portion but they are very nice.

After our meal, they prepared the cake and even lighted a candle for us.

We have a good time. We will come again.
