2 Best Restaurants in Nadi, Viti Levu

After 9 pm, expats and tourists get the karaoke going at this fun seafood joint and steak house. Yet most guests come to hear the imported rib eyes and T-bones sizzle on their way from the kitchen to the beer garden. Prawn dishes and the Bounty Burger are also highly in demand, as is the steak sandwich at lunchtime. "Bula Hour" (noon–2, 5–8) sees prices on the tropical cocktail menu drop 20%. A mural of the restaurant's namesake ship plus stacked wooden barrels at the maître 'd stand and good-natured, buxom servers complete the feel-good atmosphere. It's also open for breakfast.

Diners come from around Denarau to this casual restaurant for the legendary seafood buffet Wednesday and Saturday nights. Dubbed Ika Levu (Fijian for "Great Fish"), the buffet features the restaurant's characteristic live cooking stations and artful presentation, only with an extravagant array of Fiji's freshest. Indoor and outdoor tables are well-spaced. Buffet themes on other nights include Indo-Fijian, native-Fijian, BBQ, and Asian-Pacific, and there's always a children's buffet. It's on the ground floor of the resort's main building, and you can walk up from the beach.
