Many features of Poneke betray its Mojo heritage, but with some notable differences. For a start, the Martin Bosley influence means that there’s more emphasis on meals, not just coffee and snacks. Among the highlights are grilled sourdough bread with roasted feta and grapes, and a deliciously light and maritime take on pizza (smoked kahawai with capers, olives and wafer-thin potato). Then there’s the Francophile leanings of the counter food, with financiers and mille-feuilles among the usual scones. Add good coffee, a decent drinks selection, sparkling water on tap and waterside seating, and the somewhat elevated prices might seem justified.
