Cafe Baku

Taupo


You know you're onto a good thing when the cabinet items – ham, cheese and asparagus vol-au-vents, keto rolls, corn fritters piled high, bacon scrolls – look even more inviting than the menu. And the view is better still, straight across the lake to the volcanoes. Lunch runs the gamut from harissa squid to chicken schnitzel.

The takeaway packs of dehydrated locusts and scorpions on the counter could be an intriguing post-breakfast nibble.
