A
RJs Restaurant & Bar
A carnivore's delight, RJs sizzles up prime fillet steaks, veal masala, char-grilled ribs and plenty of seafood options. There's a Hungarian goulash for the left-of-centre palates and all servings are hearty. The wine list is suitably impressive.

Mo's Burgers
The fajitas here are made with baked rotis, and the quesadillas are made with fried rotis, but everything is tasty and fresh in this mutant Tex-Mex joint so very far from home. As well as burgers, Mo's offers pizza, fish and chips, and chicken and chips.

B
Seafood Garden Bar Restaurant
A jack-of-all-trades, this breezy restaurant dishes up good fish and chips, Indian curries and traditional lolo (coconut cream) in duck, chicken, beef, crab, fish and lobster versions. The crowd is touristy and the fare tame but it hits the spot.

C
Headworks
Overlooking Suva's main drag, this is a great pit stop if the hustle is tiring you. The wicker seating on the balcony catches plenty of breeze and although lunch options (omelettes, sandwiches and rolls) are limited, the smoothies are a meal unto themselves.

D
Lantern Palace
Dimly lit and suitably oriental in its décor, this long-standing institution offers a fairly predictable Chinese-Western menu with a few left-field gems thrown in such as garlic bêche-de-mer in chilli sauce. The banquets here are good value.

E
Palm Court
- Suva, Fiji
- Restaurants › Café
Another popular city café, Palm Court keeps tourists and office workers full and happy with tasty cooked breakfasts, toasted sandwiches, curries and chicken and chips. Plastic tables are arranged beneath umbrellas to shield the sun and meals are dirt cheap.

F
Saffron the Corner
Delicious curries served in one-meal-a-day portions display themselves under the counter at this corner diner. The ambience is a tad fast-food chain and you'll need to contend with Hindu tunes butchered by a drum machine, but it's a good spot for a mountainous feed.

Sichuan Pavilion Restaurant
- Suva, Fiji
- Restaurants › Asian
Occupying a 1st-floor corner of the Garrick Hotel, this elegant restaurant serves a refreshing alternative to the ubiquitous chow-mien and chop-suey menu, with Sichuan dishes the speciality. On balmy days the alfresco seating on the balcony induces long and lazy lunches.

Cafe Tivoli
- Suva, Fiji
- Restaurants › Café
The café of the moment, Tivoli serves salsa-and-cheese stuffed croissants, mammoth bagels and toasted focaccias, eggs any style you like and dense quiches. Tables are scattered beneath a breezy outdoor pagoda and there are delicious sweet treats if you still have room.

Singh's Curry House
- Suva, Fiji
- Restaurants › Balti
Owner Mamaji runs a tight ship at this great little curry joint, where a delectable array of mostly South Indian curries tempts diners from the front counter. Seating is at booths or you can take away. It's one of the few places open on a Sunday and a great option for vegetarians.

J
Govinda's Vegetarian Restaurant
Saris and families dominate the patronage at this vegetarian restaurant, which is a good indication of the authenticity of the food. The array of thalis is impressive but you should definitely leave room for the delicious Indian sweets on display. Indian tunes fill the background.

K
Curry House
- Suva, Fiji
- Restaurants › Balti
This industrious curry house serves excellent lamb, chicken, fish and vegetarian curries in a canteen-style setting. The pakoras, samosas and other sides are hefty and fresh and a good option if you're on the run. It gets busy so the earlier you eat lunch the shorter the table wait.

Lazy Cactus
This snappy little cantina oozes a warm atmosphere and delicious smells. The food is Mexican and the cooks mean business - burritos, enchiladas and a kicking camarones en mojo de ajo (shrimp with garlic, chillies and butter). You can dine inside or in the pleasant courtyard.

M
Capital Palace
It seems half of Suva converges here for the excellent Sunday yum cha but the regular menu also sites authentic delights including shark-fin soup and fried squid with chilli and salt plus infusions such as sesame chicken with dalo. Mouth-watering smells and a happy din surround diners.

Decked Out Café
A fine place to watch the world go by on a sunny day, the Decked Out Café is a big, open deck on the main street, offering filling breakfasts and a limited menu of tasty and filling burgers and sandwiches. The daily specials are large and cheap. The fresh fruit smoothies (around F$3) are excellent.

O
Cakes 2000
This café-cum-bakery-cum-cake shop dishes up hearty breakfasts and the best sausage rolls and pies in town. Tuck into overstuffed sandwiches or Fijian faves such as palusami stuffed with fish and roast lamb neck for lunch, or just gorge on a tiramisu and baileys or choc-orange-chip cheesecake.

P
Captain's Café
The food here is usually good - but forget about Sunday (when the chef takes the day off) - and the views of the harbour are fantastic. There are pizzas, fish and chips and sandwiches, and the daily specials are always worth trying. You can buy drinks - including cheap draught beer - from the Yacht Club next door.

Q
Sentai Seafood Restaurant
The décor may be shambolic but Sentai's Asian infusion menu knows exactly what it's doing. There's a heavy emphasis on seafood and adventurous souls can tuck into a bêche-de-mer (sea cucumber) combination hotpot. There's always beef in black-bean sauce or prawns with lemon and ginger for the meek.

R
Tiko's Floating Restaurant
Elegant and devoid of pretension, Tiko's serves excellent surf-and-turf fare, including New Zealand steak and fresh local fish (walu and pakapaka), on board a gracious cruising vessel. The wine list includes Grange Hermitage and the windowed walls bathe the place in amber at sunset. It's best enjoyed on calm nights.

S
Aberdeen Grill
This stately restaurant has the interior of an old boys' club; plenty of dark wood, brass, mock antique seating and wide bay windows. The food is similarly conservative, but it's done well. European-influenced chicken, steak and seafood are the predominant stars of the carnivorous menu. Lunch is a three-course set menu (around F$25).

Zen Restaurant
- Suva, Fiji
- Restaurants › Sushi
This small and intimate restaurant serves delicately presented sushi, tempura, udon (wheat noodles) and soba (buckwheat noodles) dishes as well as a modicum of Korean meals. The graceful décor features Japanese screens, and soft Japanese tunes play in the background. The menu provides helpful pictures for the uninitiated.

U
Daikoku Restaurant
- Suva, Fiji
- Restaurants › Sushi
The acrobatic culinary skills of Daikoku's chefs are reason enough to spend an evening here, and the seafood, chicken and beef seared on the sizzling teppanyaki plates would hold up to any Tokyo restaurant. Sushi and sashimi is also on the menu and a happy chatter fills the room. Bookings are recommended - it's one of Suva's finest and is often full.

V
Korea House
The interior of this restaurant may lose its oomph once you pass the grand entrance flanked by a Korean mural but the food does not. Pungent kimchi (pickled vegetables) and sticky Korean barbecue dishes are served as well as authentic squid, pork, tofu, prawn and chicken. There's an around F$10 lunch special and many dishes attract a 10% discount at night.

Raffles Floating Restaurant
The floating restaurant attached to Raffles Tradewinds hotel is one of the most scenic spots in Suva to dine. Lunch is the best time to enjoy the harbour views, when the glass windows surrounding the interior flood the room with light. Seafood and classy steak dishes feature highly on the dinner menu, but lunch is a cheaper and more relaxed affair. The burgers here are legendary.
