What people say
Kol Auckland is a restaurant located on Ponsonby Road that offers an exceptional dining experience. The restaurant's focus on fire, food, and cocktails is evident in their menu offerings and social media posts. Their Mother's Day cocktail was a hit with Moksha Gin, homemade rhubarb and strawberry liqueur, lemon, egg white, apple brandy snap, and topped up with Louis Roederer Champagne. The special 3-course menu offered during the Eat Drink Love Ponsonby event was also a highlight with options like smoked fish toastada, tandoori grilled saffron chicken or lamb ribs with date purée for the main course and something sweet to end the meal. Kol Auckland's limited-time toastie featuring smoked eel, Evandale Tania cheese from Otago, and feijoa chutney was a must-try for those looking for a quick lunch option. The cocktail of the week featuring Painturaud XO Cognac, hazelnut and almond orgeat with caramelised white chocolate and vanilla bitters served with Easter eggs was another standout item on their menu. With its unique offerings and excellent service, Kol Auckland is definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Auckland.
