Pons is a restaurant, lounge and a venue
We are strikingly stylish, urbane and proud of our skills. Our service is relaxed, honest and uncompromising. Our cuisine is bold, rocking and a little bit undisciplined. Our wine room hides old world treasures as well as modern classics. In our lounge bar, artisan cocktails sparkle and bubble in the glasses. Pons is a night owl and a socialite. When the need arises, and whenever the occasion arises, we entertain our guests with live music and cuisine from the cultural spectrum. Pons is a venue. We organise your events and occasions with agility and professionalism in a unique setting.
Our restaurant is a bridge between the past and the present. We cherish hospitality and tradition in our own way and pride ourselves on our expertise. For us, this means putting the customer first. Before, now and always. We are here to stay. In the twilight and the sky!
