Suva Restaurants

Tiko’s Floating Restaurant

Lovely Fijian food, guaranteed a pleasant dining experience, accompanied by arguably the best views in Suva–Tiko’s Floating Restaurant is Fiji’s one and only floating restaurant specialising in fresh seafood and steak, located in Suva Harbour.

The large menu features a range of local and international dishes using fresh local produce. The “blackboard” menu changes depending on the daily catch and seasonal offerings, accompanied by an excellent all-you-can-eat salad bar, which provides you with a great opportunity to try some of the more traditional side dishes, with vegetarian options available. Local favourites include the famous curry mud crab, lobster mornay, crab in coconut cream, surf & turf, and fresh fish cooked to order.

On certain nights, you can catch live performances from local musicians for a holistic dining experience. We also cater to vegetarian options. With exceptional service and very patient and helpful servers willing to spend those extra few moments explaining the more obscure dishes you are curious about, this courtesy elevates the venue above other restaurants. I definitely recommend making a reservation, as this place is popular.

Small Plates

This has to be my favourite restaurant in Nadi and the surrounding areas, described as a romantic hidden gem, Small Plates is a relaxed small restaurant that serves some mouth-watering Chinese-style cuisine in a garden setting, directly off the main throughway to Nadi and Namaka. As soon as you step over the threshold, you are transported to a beautiful, relaxed setting.

This place has it all. The food is some of the best you will find in Fiji; we recommend their famous sizzling plates and wontons. The amazing atmosphere draws you away from the hustle and bustle of the main town, and the staff is wonderful and laid-back. A great change of pace from the resort’s offerings, with local musicians playing regularly throughout the year.

Every time I have frequented this establishment, it has always delivered. I highly recommend a visit to this small spot of delight on your holiday to the islands. You will not regret it.
