Daphnes Bar Taverna

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Ponsonby, we invite you to indulge in the rich flavors of the Mediterranean. Our menu, crafted by Head Chef Stevan Bailey, features delicious shared plates like wood-fired market fish and slow-braised lamb shoulder paired with tzatziki and dukkah. Enjoy our olive-dusted flatbreads and prawn saganaki, all made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The inviting interiors, designed by Clare van den Berg, offer a cozy yet refined atmosphere, perfect for any occasion. With thoughtful service and a curated wine list that balances tradition and modernity, every visit promises a delightful experience. Join us for a drink, lunch, or dinner six days a week—whether you're looking for a casual bite or a special evening out.
