The daily menus are planned using the finest and freshest ingredients available. Vegetarian options are offered in the daily menu, and special dietary needs are happily catered to. A traditional Fijian “Lovo” feast, where food is cooked underground in an earth-oven, is offered once a week (weather permitting).
