Uniquely Ponsonby
Since 1866
The Cav is a Ponsonby institution for everything from an upmarket lunch and dinner venue, through to a great place to meet for a couple of relaxing beers or a glass of wine or two.
Our talented kitchen, recently overhauled by Eugene Hamilton from Euro, offers an extensive menu featuring succulent, modern cuisine based on good value for money.
The restaurant offers unrivaled cuisine, a brunch venue where families can feel comfortable on weekends; and for those who like to party, The Cav evolves at night into a premier venue with great music and a vibrant atmosphere.
Your new home away from home and a perfect venue to enjoy legendary kiwi hospitality.
Join us for lunch, dinner, a catch up with old friends or a cheeky lunch-time beer before heading back to work.
With a wide range of craft beers, The Cav ensures you will stay thoroughly hydrated by the tastiest ales, lagers and whatever else tickles your fancy.
Man-about-the-Kitchen, Eugene Hamilton's expertise and talent shine through with our range of classic gastropub fare.
