Last Updated: 2 October, 2024

Where to Find Vegan and Vegetarian Food in Suva

Travelling as a vegetarian or a vegan can often be a frustrating thing, but not in Suva. Thanks to the large Indo-Fijian population, where many choose to not eat meat, vegetarian restaurants are pretty abundant in Suva. Even in restaurants that serve meat, there will be something for non-meat eaters on the menu. Unsurprisingly, curry houses make up the vast majority of vegetarian restaurants in Suva, but a few hidden gems are serving other styles of food well worth seeking out. We go through some of the highlights in this list of vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Suva!
