Ponsonby International Foodcourt - open and all welcome

In the last 15 years, Ponsonby International Foodcourt (PFC) has seen many iconic faces enter its doors to enjoy a meal.

Established in 2002, PFC was created with one goal in mind - to bring everyone's favourite Asian and Italian cuisine under one roof. The concept allows a complete family or group of friends, to mix up their taste bud cravings and buy different dishes to share or eat as a single meal.

There is nothing more annoying then to go out and find that what others chose to eat is not exactly what you or the kids want to eat. PFC's variety includes: Italian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Malaysian, Chinese, Turkish, Thai, Laotian, Indian, Indonesian and a licensed bar that is known to fill your wine glass to the brim.

All shops are individually owned and specialise in their own cuisine. Some shop owners are cooking family recipes. Marco from Bella Verona is one. He brings his Nonna's yummy sauces from Verona, Italy.

PFC waited a long time to get the right Italian to join and is so excited to welcome Marco and Monette. Part of the Pane & Vino chain, Bella Verona is creating the most fabulous pastas and pizza with Nonna's homemade sauces of course!

PFC has become a legendary institution. You will definitely see a cross-section of Auckland's diverse community and of course do a bit of celebrity spotting.

Everyone is welcome. Open seven days a week from 11am - 10pm, exterior renovations in progress.
