Luxury Dining in Nadi

A luxurious getaway to Fiji needs to have exquisite food, so check out the restaurants and bars of Nadi’s luxury resorts to experience Nadi’s fine dining scene. Outside of the resorts, fine dining is not part of the Nadi city culture. That’s not to say that there’s no divine food to be sampled! Check out our Guide to the Best Eats & Restaurants in Nadi for recommendations. Otherwise, here are some of the most luxurious dining options available in Nadi.

Fine Dining in Nadi’s Luxury Resorts

One of the limited fine dining options outside of Denarau awaits the Fish Bar of the Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay. The menu is influenced by local flavours from the land and sea. Either sit in the main restaurant with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean or treat that special someone to a specially crafted five-course meal in a private waterfront cabana.

At the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Fiji – Sonaisali Island, the Tavua Bar & Grill has two seating areas, one in a relaxed setting beside the pool and one on the beach under glorious coconut palms. It makes for a romantic environment at sunset, and the gourmet food is to die for with barbecue-style cuisine.

Great views come with great food at Club 57 & Bistro at the Ramada Suites Wailoaloa Beach. The rooftop restaurant menu has some classically Fijian offerings along with an extensive range of fine wines and cocktails. We recommend the lobster.

Great Restaurants in Nadi

Eat where the locals eat in the city of Nadi. Book a table at the Daikoku Japanese restaurant in Martintar and watch the skilled chefs serve up Fiji seafood, New Zealand lamb and Australian beef teppanyaki-style. They also have a spectacular array of other Japanese delights.
