KOL, found within a quaint Ponsonby villa, serves as a culinary stage where the chef showcases a unique style of elevated simplicity.

Built around what’s in season, KOL’s menu changes frequently to highlight the freshest local produce, offering diners a consistently delightful experience. There’s even a room where fresh produce is proudly displayed for the guests to view.

Kick off your meal with starters that tell a story rooted in tradition, reimagined with contemporary Kiwi flair. Start with the small but mighty Crispy Basket Chat, filled with Tamarind, Mint, Chickpea, and more. For a savoury snack, the Beet Tikki is a great starter, served with tangy chutney and cool yoghurt, and it's calling your name.

For the mains, look forward to standout dishes, from the Tandoori Chicken with Mirchi sauce, a recommended dish, to the fresh Kingfish paired with crème fraîche and charred pineapple. And finally, a parade of desserts awaits at the end of your gastronomic journey at KOL.

The culinary adventure at KOL is open for all to enjoy, whether you’re a local or an out-of-towner. Whatever the occasion, KOL delivers a truly unique taste of New Zealand’s finest.
