Fodor's Expert Review Whale's Tale

Levuka's best restaurant has a sense of humor—its kitchen is in a thatched roof "bure" within the restaurant. Seashells daintily line the shelves on one wall, a small collection of books rests on another and perhaps serves more than just decor as visitors spend a lot of time here once they've tasted the dishes. The menu is inexplicably international—Walu steak, pasta with capers, olives, and tomato sauce, and banana with rum crepes—and the prices, at F$5 for filling lunch specials, are as outdated as the colonial-style building itself.
