Fijian Restaurants

  1. A

    Old Mill Cottage

    Housed (as the name suggests) in a gracious old timber cottage, this Suva institution is the city's best spot for adventurous gastronomes to dabble in authentic Fijian fare. Exotic dishes including palusami (meat, onion and lolo wrapped in dalo leaves and baked in a lovo), curried shellfish, and seaweed or fish stewed in lolo assemble themselves underneath the front counter alongside Indian curries and vegetarian dishes.

It's a bit of a trek from the centre and often filled with a boisterous din, but leaving Suva without a night here would be a crime.
