The Verdict

Dumpling fans listen up! Our fave dumpling joint, Sumthin Dumplin has joined Ponsonby’s strip with their epic new beer garden Midnight Gardener

Owner Shane Liu first opened his boutique eatery on O’Connell street serving up a variety of home-made dumplings which were in such hot demand he opened a second take away spot on Wellesley Street. 

Fast forward two years and Shane has teamed up with OG hospo heavyweights Phil Clark and Luke Dallow to open Midnight Gardener which is nestled into what used to be Ponsonby Road Garden Centre. Keeping with the heritage of the space, the bar has a very relaxed backyard vibe, where you can munch on some good grub and catch up with mates over a pint or two. 

Whether you’re wanting to grab a quick bite, or are after something to satisfy your late-night cravings, Midnight Gardener caters for all. It’s a trendy hotspot that is sure to be a hit amongst the locals.

Food & Drink

Bistro Saine

Wander down the cobblestones of Saint Patrick’s Square and you might happen upon the luxurious first floor of newly-built Hotel Indigo, housed in a restored heritage building. You can enter through the other side too—the Albert Street entrance blending into the concrete jungle as if it was always there (just look for the elegant Bistro Saine font out front).

Restaurants

Takapuna Surf Club

When you hear the words surf club, what comes to mind? I think of ice cream, pizza, and Alf Stewart (I haven't watched Home & Away in years, but I understand the Summer Bay Surf Club is still standing. Poor old Mr. Stewart, I'm not so sure).
