Raintree Café

This suave number run by a group of ladies boasts one of the most agreeable settings in Honiara. Picture a lovely waterfront location and soul-stirring views of Savo. The tropical décor is easy on the eye, with wooden furnishings, thatched roof and candlelit tables - alfresco dining doesn't come any better than this (it's BYO).

Choose between copious breakfasts, a parade of bountiful pizzas (served from 16:00), omelettes, daily specials chalked up on the blackboard, and melt-in-your-mouth homemade cakes. And don't get us started on the fruit salad with honey and yoghurt. Vegetarians should enjoy the crunchy 'garden salad' served in a traditional wooden bowl. It's such a shame that the service is so slow. Has wi-fi.
