Bar & Kitchen — Ponsonby, Auckland
Basalt
Seasonal ingredients. Bold flavours. Relaxed atmosphere.
Seasonal ingredients. Bold flavours. Relaxed atmosphere.
Basalt started with a simple idea: take the best produce New Zealand has to offer and do as little as possible to mess it up. Seasonal. Local. Prepared with care and served without pretension.
Named after the volcanic rock that shapes Auckland's landscape, we believe great food should feel both grounded and refined — like the city we call home.

Our bar programme draws on NZ botanicals and seasonal fruits. Every cocktail on the list is original — designed by our bar team and tweaked with the seasons.
Not sure what you're in the mood for? Our bartenders love a challenge. Tell them what you like and they'll make something you'll love.
"The kingfish crudo alone is worth the trip to Ponsonby. But stay for the cocktails and you'll understand why this place is always full. Basalt is doing something special."
Walk-ins are always welcome, but we recommend booking for dinner — especially Thursday through Saturday. Call us or reserve online.
