Welcome to Catalyst!
A Mindful Culinary Experience in the Heart of Dunedin

While our dinner service is on pause, we continue to welcome you for breakfast and lunch—serving up ethically farmed dishes and responsibly sourced ingredients.

At Catalyst, we’re more than just another restaurant. We’re a welcoming space that encourages mindful eating, conscious consumption, and genuine connections with real, wholesome food.
Our mission is to spark positive change in how we source, prepare, and enjoy every meal.

Stewardship lies at the core of our ethos. We proudly partner with local farmers and suppliers to ensure the freshest produce while supporting our community. We also embrace conservation by featuring responsibly sourced wild game, showing that deliciousness and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Beyond serving great food, we’re dedicated to minimizing waste. All food scraps, leftovers, napkins, and paper find their way to a local lifestyle farm for composting—nurturing the land and championing self-sufficient farming practices in our region.Join us at Catalyst, where every bite helps reduce our environmental footprint and promotes a healthier lifestyle for all.
After all, progress is better than perfection.

Come by for breakfast or lunch and be part of the change—one meal at a time.
