This newly renovated resort has a lovely open dining restaurant with a bar.  They have a woodfired pizza oven and offer a range of delicious local dishes and curries.  They also have a traditional Fijian Lovo dinner with entertainment and BBQ.  There are more international items on the menu to suit all tastes.  We recommend Ultiqa and eat here often. Ring to enquire about Fijian night.  Payment is only accepted by card – no cash.  We recommend ringing a day before to let them know you are coming for dinner and that you are from Villa Tinikatolu.

We eat here regularly in the back garden and love their fish dishes.

Open all day you and can also take away.
