Veggie Restaurant
Equally popular among vegetarians and meat-
eaters, Veggie Restaurant has become a must
stop for those looking for creative vegetarian
cuisine in Fiji’s capital. Ranging from Chinese
and Italian flavours to burgers and fancy
desserts, their menu has an option for everyone.
The home-made dumplings, the vegan calzone
and the sizzling tofu deserve a special mention.
Veggie restaurant is also the only restaurant in
Fiji serving tempeh (try the Japanese tempeh
rice or the tempeh burger), which they produce
themselves and sell on the side too.
The peaceful atmosphere, the consistent
quality of the food and the friendliness of the
“Veggie family” have contributed over the years
to the success of this tiny restaurant in Flagstaff.
Most of the dishes (and cakes) are, or can be
made vegan, so just make sure to let the owners
know when placing your order.

Indian eateries
If you’re in the mood for Indian food, you’ll find several
vegetarian eateries around Suva serving Fiji-Indian classics.
The options change daily but generally include a variety of
dhal, chickpea or bean curries, as well as several vegetable
curries made from Fijian produce. Govinda and the Hare
Krishna restaurants - both have several outlets around town -
or Bollywood in the Tappoo food court are some of the more
popular spots.
These restaurants are generally lacto-vegetarian (they include
dairy and exclude eggs), so if you’re vegan make sure to confirm
which dishes are free from dairy cream, paneer, butter and ghee.
