If you're a foodie - you Must try the menu here, the chef's outdone herself 🤤 Interesting and mouth watering flavours, great service, delicious cocktails. We tried the lamb rump on fermented polenta with Marmite butter - one of the best dishes I've ever had. The Szechuan and chimichurri steak and grilled Daikon were also up there. The vibe was chill also, with some booths and more open seating too. Only wish I could have polenty more!

Best place in Auckland for tacos - they are amazing! If you go at not too busy times it’s really fast to get your food. I like their black bean tacos the best and their sparking water with lime is also really good. The staff, especially the manager or the guy who runs the floor is excellent. He’s always really friendly but efficient too, knows how to manage a restaurant for sure. Two thumbs up!

Easy place to get to, centrally located, cool booths at the back for a catch-up with friends. Conch provides a good variety of food and cocktails at affordable prices. Tonight we had the yucca chips with aioli (yucca = root of the cassava plant, similar texture to potatoes), beef taco, red kidney bean taco, Margherita pizza, and lava cake for dessert. Good quality and good to see the "lava" flowing from the cake. I have previously had the fish taco but was mildly disappointed because the fish was under-seasoned. However, it is quite good when combined with the dressing - just make sure your bite has a bit of everything.

Amazing food, beer and the friendliest stay combine with a great vibe to make this a must visit place in Ponsonby.

Best about this place are location and relaxed atmosphere. Menu is small but good. Portions are small. I appreciated the spices but food definitely needed more salt (all the dishes we tried were very low in salt). Service could definitely improve: I went there on the night of the 6th of October, and one of the waiters was friendly and helpful, another waiter was very indifferent to customers, and the waitress was very rude. I will probably consider other places before Conch in the future, but if you havent been there before it's worth giving it a go.

Came here for dinner with my mum. Very cool cozy atmosphere with private wooden booths out the back which was a perfect setting for a catch up with dinner. We shared the fish, kumara, leek and daikon which were all fantastic. Lots of interesting flavours, will definitely be back to try the rest. Hidden Gem.

Food is outstanding! We had the potatoes, goat and chicken skewers, Achiote Fish and the most outstanding Banana Curry! A very creative menu with complex flavours and lovely variety. Staff were friendly and made us a delicious espresso martini. Feel very welcome and cosy.

Great low-key spot for amazing tacos and you have to try the yuca fries! Great service and a cute quaint island. Tropical bar vibe. Very laid-back and welcoming environment. Would highly recommend stopping by here if you’re in town visiting and want great food and a very cool vibe.

Great range of food to cater for our vegan & non-vegan friends, amazing service from Nicholas who crafted personalized cocktails for us - cute spot for chill Sunday dinner & drinks

The food was awful. The meat and the lamb did not taste like anything. It was also almost cold. The place was not very clean and it was very cold. I used to go there around 2019 and loved it. I will never go again.

The food is incredible and the chef is absolutely amazing!! Great service and cool, chill vibe We had the best night and definitely will be back soon for some more delicious food and drinks :)

Love the informality with friendly staff..great music and drinks

Stuffed pepper w fresh corn polenta is a must to try! 👍

Looking for a chilled night out and good food and margaritas. This is a greenlight. The pineapple margarita has a smokey flavour, which i havent tried before it's a winner. Wanted to have a quick dinner and ended up staying a little longer to try the margaritas and some. The place and background music is a vibe. Staff are friendly, service and clearing of our table was quick. Bathrooms clean. Good chilled night out.

A bit of a hidden gem this one. Great bar service, best in the local area in my opinion. For example beer are completely full, not nearly full as in many bars, very quick service and a generous happy hour. The bar goes a surprising distance out the back to give various seating options. Pizzas etc also available. A cool vibe.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and their mocha is amazing!

Great spot, just wish it was open a little longer.

Very nice ambience, friendly and helpful staff. The food was AMAZING. So. Much. Flavour. Get the sticky pork pineapple starter - good way to prepare your taste buds for the rest of the meal. Try not to get carried away and order too much though. The food gets delivered to your table pretty quick so you can order more later on if you need to. Quantities are meant for sharing.

Excellent service and delicious food. Staff were all so friendly and every dish we had was full of flavour. Great vibes. Will be back for sure and recommending to friends 😊

Great menu. My partner had the blackened fish and absolutely raved about it. I had a beef taco and a pork belly arepas, both were delicious. Followed it up with the chocolate lava cake for dessert which was also beautifully presented and exquisite. Service was great: knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Made for a wonderful evening out.

Decent price with good quality food. Sadly the pizza stove was off today. Definitely comeback next time for the pizza. Btw the short rib taste amazing ☺️ highly recommend

Great bar and restaurant that serves South American fare. The wood oven roasted potatoes are a must-try and the food is decently priced for the inner city. The outside courtyard has a beautiful atmosphere surrounded by the wood fired oven scents.
