"A fine place to take a town break and watch the traffic along the waterfront, this open-air snack bar occupies one end of the veranda of the Banana Court building. Breakfast is served all day, as are espresso, ice cream, milkshakes, and exotic cocktails. Sandwiches and big burgers are made to order for lunch. You can also try chicken or lamb curry, fish and chips, smoked fish, or barbecue pork."

"You won't appreciate Hinano MacQuarie's sophisticated cafe from the road, but wait until you walk around the thatched-roof building to the big veranda and its terrific vista of the green mountains rising beyond the flowery botanical gardens. It's the perfect spot to break a round-island tour or stop in for breakfast, a light lunch, an afternoon snack, a fruit smoothie, or a cup of espresso, cappuccino, or fresh mint tea. Hinano's breakfast offerings include muffins, fresh fruit, and omelets. You'll have more choices from her lunch-and-afternoon blackboard menu. The pineapple-lemon meringue cheesecake is well worth the calories."

"Unless you are very short in stature, you will have to stop to get under the thatch-covered roof over this charming, sand-floored beach side restaurant. the South Seas ambiance makes it worth an evening, especially on Wednesday and Saturday when it offers an island night buffet and Cook Islands dance show. The regular menu offers Fijian-style curries, seared rare tuna, braised lamb shanks, steaks, chops, and a catch of the day (pass on the parrot fish). "

"Occupying the main floor of the Rarotonga Sailing Club, this airy, nautically decorated restaurant offers a variety of salads, sandwiches, and "island fries" -- sweet potato, taro, and banana. At dinner the chef turns his attention to fresh fish and vegetables, plus mussels and steaks flown in from New Zealand. You might be offered tuna marinated in Cajun spices, a nicely seasoned version of Thai rare beef salad, or vegetarian lasagna. Weekend afternoons are especially lively here; club members gather to sail their radio-controlled miniature yachts out on the lagoon."

"Sue Curruthers, who grew up in Kenya and founded The Flame Tree restaurant here , and partner Robert Brown renovated this 1920s seaside home and turned it into Rarotonga's top place to dine. Not only will you enjoy the first-rate food, but you will have an ocean view, since most tables are on the veranda or covered patio out front (it's terrifically romantic at night). You can begin your day with a late breakfast featuring Sue's marvelous corn fritters with tomato, guacamole, and sour cream. She offers the fritters at lunch along with a wide variety of salads, including Indonesian gado gado with a spicy peanut sauce. She expands her globe-trotting menu at dinner, with the likes of a south Indian curry, Balinese pork, and Burmese tamarind fish with lime and chili. Less adventurous tongues can choose from steaks, seafood ragout, or fish and chips."

"Within walking distance of The Muri Beachcomber and The Pacific Resort Rarotonga, this is one of the island's more interesting restaurants. Although it has slipped somewhat since its days under founder Sue Carruthers, it still calls on the cuisine of India and other Asian countries to offer a range of very tasty selections. The signature dish is fish, shrimp, and mussels in a mild coconut curry sauce. Smoking is allowed only outside, not inside the converted house."
