Oriental Restaurant & Bar
$ | Labasa
Here's one globe-spanning restaurant where you shouldn't settle on a curry simply by default. The Chinese dishes are good, large, and best enjoyed family-style. Second prize goes to the range of traditionally prepared seafood such as lobster, prawns, and fish cooked in lolo (coconut milk). The strange wood canopies with rope netting over most of the tables are even stranger in light of the honest attempt at Asian decor made by illustrated tapestries. Avoid weekend afternoons, when locals crowd the bar and many of the tables with tall bottles of Fiji Bitter. To find it, look for the big sign on a building across from the bus station.
