Expresso Love

Spiritual and organic

265 Ponsonby Road
Ponsonby
Auckland 1001
New Zealand
+64 (0)9 376 2433

Expresso Love—a Ponsonby Road original—has a unique personality. The artworks and murals have a spiritual theme, and the emphasis is on healthy, organic food. Take your pick of areas to sit—the peaceful courtyard with Zen water feature; upstairs, with a bird's eye view of Ponsonby Road; or the middle eastern room for mellowing out. At night the cafe becomes "A.R.E.A. 265" with candlelight, art and music blending into a magical environment. The café is fully licensed and you may bring your own wine. Order food from plates on the bar or from the wall menu.

Ponsonby
Auckland 1001
New Zealand

http://hyperdisc.unitec.ac.nz/... Vegetarian food has never been so interesting as at Musical Knives. With light ash-colored timber and green upholstery, it takes the clean, simplified line of decor in one of the older brick buildings in the area. Pavement seating is an option on warmer evenings. A private function area is available upstairs. The menu ranges widely with tastes originating from around the world. Mains include Organic Vegetable Tofu, Miso Rice Stir Fry, Fiorentina Lasagne, Organic Soba Noodles, pasta and salad. The drinks list focuses on organic wines, beers, and Japanese sake.

Revive Vegetarian Cafe

Veggies All Around 16 Fort Street
Auckland, NZ
New Zealand
+64 9 307 1586
http://www.revive.co.nz/ Revive Vegetarian Cafe serves a fantastic range of fresh salads, breakfasts, vegetarian meals, smoothies, juices and more. Most vegetarian meals - pastas, salads, roast vegetables - don't provide adequate protein. The founders of Revive Vegetarian Cafe, Jeremy and Verity Dixon, realized this and decided to put their culinary background in to the Revive Vegetarian Cafe that's committed to serving up great tasting and healthy food for your body and mind.

Turkish Cafe

Arabian nights! 294 Ponsonby Road
Ponsonby
Auckland 1001
New Zealand
+64 9 360 0468 Enter this glowing and inviting cave-like environment and be transported to the Middle East. Bright neon-lit Turkish and Eastern motifs provide the decorative detail. The kitchen is near the street, allowing a good view of cooking in progress, and it really gets the taste buds going--spicy aromas from the Middle East are hard to resist. Original Turkish and Middle Eastern dishes fill the menu, which includes kebabs and vegetarian food as a speciality. There is plenty of variety including pilaki, salads, tabouleh, moussaka, falafel, pilau, hummus, borek, kebabs and desserts such as baklava, kataifi and koshaf.
