PonsonBurger, Ponsonby’s popular burger festival, is back for a second year, returning this May by popular demand.
Timed to coincide with International Burger Day on Wednesday, 28 May, this year's festival runs for two weeks, from Monday, 26 May, to Sunday, 8 June and is designed to encourage burger lovers to Ponsonby to support their favourite eateries - and try new ones - many with limited edition burgers, an homage to International Burger Day.
More than 30 Ponsonby hotspots are getting involved, offering something for every palate - from classic to cutting-edge, savoury to sweet. Whether it’s burgers, bundles or pop-ups showcasing their signature style, expect a PonsonBurger bonanza with mouth-watering options to satisfy every craving, at any time of the day.
Venues participating this year include:
Azabu, Bambina Café, Barker’s Food Store & Eatery, Bedford Soda & Liquor, Better Burger, Café 39 feat. Kane’s Burger Club, Chapel Bar, Crack Chicken, Daphnes, Eat Drink Laugh, Edie’s Wine Bar, Farina, Fatima’s, Gaja, Hoppers Garden Bar, INCA, Jacuzzi, Kesia, Khu Khu, Longroom, Miann, Movenpick, Mumbaiwala, Olas Arepas, Parade, Pastrami & Rye, Ponsonby Social Club feat. Brazilian Cafe & Bistro, San Ray, Sidart, The Blue Breeze Inn, The Broken Lantern and Tobi.
Ponsonby Business Association General Manager Viv Rosenberg says she’s thrilled with how the street has embraced PonsonBurger, with half of the participating venues not typically known for slinging burgers.
“Last year we tested the market to see if there was an appetite for a burger festival, and we were blown away by the response. We had members and locals asking for it to run longer - we listened, and this year we’ve more than doubled the number of venues, with 32 eateries on board and we’re running PonsonBurger for two weeks,” says Rosenberg.
“I have no doubt this will add another layer to Ponsonby’s vibrant food scene - we can’t wait for 26 May when it all comes to life.”
