Where to eat International food in Rarotonga: The Best Restaurants and Bars

Best International restaurants nearby. Discover the best International food in Rarotonga. View Menus, Photos and Reviews for International restaurants near you.. Sipping coconut milk while bargaining for handmade jewelry and swaying your hips to live music—just another Saturday morning in Rarotonga. After a few hours of checking out the wharf-side Punanga Nui Market, hit the beaches of this reef-protected volcanic island. There are plenty of picturesque lagoons that allow peaceful swimming or snorkeling, and moonlit strolls along the East Side sands are pure magic. Raro Safari Tours are a popular way to explore the island’s vivid rainforest.

We stayed at the resort so ate here several times over the week. Everything we got was pretty good. Would recommend the BLAT burger and the prawn pizza. Disappointed by the garlic prawn special on Tuesday night. Kia Orana,Thank you for your review. I am delighted to hear that you dined with us several times during your stay and that you thoroughly enjoyed the BLAT burger and Prawn Pizza.

Open-air restaurant open 7 days a week for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Casual dining at affordable prices. Reservations recommended for dinner. Ask about Friday Happy Hour and Sunday BBQ dinner.

I had all three meals since I was staying at Palm Grove where the restaurant is located. Breakfast was simple...fresh fruits, bread, hardboiled eggs, baked items, cereal, yogurt, tea and coffee. I had the fish chowder for lunch which filled me up and I also attended the Sunday bbq. Several buffet items to choose from and on my last night I enjoyed one of the nightly specials, a great seafood dish! Spot on for meals if you plan to lounge on the beach all day and not go anywhere.

You couldn't call this a restaurant, we went there on our first night , it's a short walk,and it used to be good ,we have been to raro 10 times now.the meal was absolute rubbish my wife had the worst nachos in the world. We went back on bbq night,the food was disgusting ,oily vegetables, dry and tough meat,and not cheap ,nothing good. The previous owners were good.Kia Orana,Thank you for your review.It is really hurtful and disheartening when we get a review like this as we try so hard to give our guests the best possible experience. Fortunately reviews like this are very rare.You are correct, we are not a restaurant, we are a small beach bar and occasionally we drop the ball, so we are very sorry that you didn't enjoy your time at the Shipwreck Hut.It was a real shame that you didn't say anything at the time.Kia manuia,Steve, Geraldine and the A Team.

We stayed at the Pacific Resort, so we visited Sandals daily. Loved the location. The staff was amazing - they even remembered us every day. Impressive. We liked to come here for Happy Hour after spending some time in the sun on the beach. It is a great location - right on Muri Beach. Reservations are recommended for dinner.
