Bistro 222 is a relatively new addition to Auckland's Ponsonby strip, having only established itself in 2009. This BYO restaurant is one of the rare few modern New Zealand cuisine bistros in Ponsonby that offers the BYO option, but we don't love this place just because of that - Bistro 222 is where you go to for impeccably prepared food. There isn't anything overly exciting about the fare here, but if you're seeking solid, hearty food in Ponsonby to go with that special bottle of wine, Bistro 222's your man.

If it isn't unusual enough for an Auckland cafe to be fully licensed and open late into the night, Cafe Cezanne one-ups all other licensed night cafes by offering the BYO option. This Ponsonby neighbourhood favourite definitely earns extra points for allowing us Ponsonby trawlers the privilege of nibbling on their scrumptious bistro-style dinner food with a choice bottle of wine. Want to dine in somewhere unpretentious around Ponsonby (a rarity in itself) AND BYO your own bottle of wine as well? Cafe Cezanne will certainly do it for you!

Located along Ponsonby Road, Mutiara Malaysian Restaurant, a BYO restaurant offers superb, reasonably priced Malaysian cuisine in relaxed settings. This fully licensed restaurant is one of our Ponsonby go-to ethnic BYO restaurants - and understandably so, as its hearty home-cooked fare makes for perfect pairing with that special bottle of wine.

Satya South Indian Restaurant off Ponsonby Road and on Great North Road of central Auckland may serve up some of the best curries Ponsonby (or even Auckland, for that matter) may have ever had the privilege to savour, but really, what is a night out without a good bottle of wine to keep the posse company? With the large number of people bringing in some of the more enviable bottles of wine to Satya week in and week out, we's say that Satya was as popular as it is because it was a BYO restaurant if we didn't know better!
