NileGuide Expert tip:
More bar than restaurant, a great spot to people watch
Description:
- SPQR was one of the original cafes in Ponsonby and its popularity_x000D_ has stood the test of time. It is now a sophisticated upmarket_x000D_ restaurant and bar rather than a simple café. It has a certain_x000D_ energy; the later it gets the more it seems to buzz. It draws an_x000D_ eclectic crowd from gays, lesbians and cross-dressers to business_x000D_ people and straights; people watching is a treat here. The_x000D_ beautifully presented food is Italian. Some examples from the menu_x000D_ include char-grilled calamari salad with rocket, roast garlic and_x000D_ lemon oil, and seared, rare tuna with smoked tomato, salsa, rocket,_x000D_ balsamic and caroli oil.

Pretentious

The food and service does not live up to the appealing ambiance and decor. Waiters attend regularly on your table which is good with limited interaction and communication though. Wannabees....
