At the quieter end of Ponsonby Road, behind a door that rewards those who look for it, a new establishment called Matchbox has taken root where notoriety once lived. In place of the bar that turned away a pop star and her entourage, there is now something more quietly ambitious: a space devoted to the idea that craft — in a glass, on a tortilla — is its own sufficient argument. Matchbox asks nothing of its guests except curiosity, and returns the favour with cocktails and tacos that reframe what both things can be.
