The Dangerous Kitchen is a family-owned café and restaurant at 46 Commercial Street in Tākaka, in Golden Bay. It works as a café by day and a restaurant by night, and it is known for its pizzas, buddha bowls and specialty breads.
By day the café serves hand-made cabinet food, including sushi, and coffee. Food is made from scratch with real ingredients, and organic produce is used where possible. The walls show work by local artists, and local musicians play for guests, with gigs posted on the Facebook page. Bookings and takeaway orders are made by phone. Our view is that it is a lively, local place to eat in Tākaka.
