We have eaten our way up and down Ponsonby Road and can recommend the following menu items as good options to include in your nutrition plans when eating out.
Our top picks for Ponsonby Road are TORU and BOY & BIRD as they were super cooperative and open to allowing modifications to their menus. They've even created some secret menu options just for us.
Toru (Secret Menu Item - created just for us!)
Ask for the Egg White Omelette with Bacon (the Deni Special). This is quite a substantial meal, and a good choice for an accelerator day. It is served with leafy salad and cucumber. It can be served for breakfast or lunch.
