Governors is a unique museum-themed gourmet coffee house and restaurant, reminiscent of the old colonial days of Fiji. Located in the old Heritage Mall, which was once the residence of the Fijian High Chief Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna, Governors is open for breakfast and lunch daily, with dinner on Thursday and Friday nights.

3. Tiko's Floating Restaurant

Tiko’s Floating Restaurant is another iconic restaurant in Fiji – in part due to its unique structure and location. It is actually an old Blue Lagoon cruise liner that has been converted into a restaurant, and sits permanently moored in the harbor.
