PonsonBurger is back this May, bringing a two week burger celebration to one of Auckland’s best food neighbourhoods. Running from Monday, May 25 through to Sunday, June 7, the annual festival will see 38 Ponsonby eateries serving up their own burger creations across the suburb.
Now in its third year, PonsonBurger continues to showcase the variety and creativity of Ponsonby’s dining scene, with everything from classic comfort food to globally inspired takes on the humble burger. The event also coincides with International Burger Day on Thursday, May 28.
This year’s line-up includes returning favourites alongside nine new venues, with participating eateries including Avodi Vegetarian Café, Azabu Ponsonby, Bali Nights, Bambina Café, Barker’s Food Store & Eatery, Beau Deli, Bedford Soda & Liquor, Better Burger, Bodega, Burger Burger, Cafe 39, Chapel Bar & Bistro, Eat Drink Laugh, El Sizzling Chorizo, Farina, Fatima’s Ponsonby, Honey Café Ponsonby, Hoppers Garden Bar, INCA, Jacuzzi, Jolene, Kesia, Khu Khu Eatery, KOL, Longroom, Miann Ponsonby, Mövenpick, Mumbaiwala, Olas Arepas, Parade, Salta Café, San Ray, The Broken Lantern, The Grey Lynn Firehouse, The Hidden Village and Tinfeny’s.
Ponsonby Business Association General Manager Viv Rosenberg says she’s thrilled with the response from venues this year. “This is our third year running PonsonBurger, and it’s so exciting to see the breadth of cuisines represented across Ponsonby. From classic and nostalgic takes through to globally inspired creations, the diversity really reflects what makes our Street so special,” says Viv.
“We’ve also got all day parts covered – from breakfast through to late night, including sweet options – alongside vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian offerings. This continues to cement Ponsonby’s reputation as one of Auckland’s dynamic and diverse food districts.”
With burgers available across breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, PonsonBurger once again looks set to be one of the city’s most popular foodie events heading into winter.
