With a charcoal oven as its kitchen hub, Stoked turns out dishes like manuka-smoked salmon, tandoori chicken thigh and good wood-fired pizza. Views of the ocean are mandatory, especially from the deck, and Coromandel wines and craft beer from the tiny Blue Fridge Brewery in Kūaotunu are both proud local touches.
