Tobi by Namu Group blends European bistro warmth with Japanese and Korean accents in a relaxed Ponsonby setting. The open kitchen turns out dishes like scotch-egg fritters, cacio e pepe tteokbokki, venison carpaccio, and coffee‑fuelled breakfasts on weekends. Shelves of cuppa blends hint at serious caffeine craft, while dinner pours include curated cocktails and well-chosen wines. It’s approachable, lively, and full of small surprises — the kind of place that balances sunlit brunches with punchy evening plates. Tobi is where fusion meets friendliness, delivering bold flavour without fuss or pretence.
