Taste Fiji Cafe
Before you start pining for your Auckland cafes and their delectable menu’s (Or your country’s equivalent) head to ‘Taste Fiji’ in Martintar. The Chef here, Lee Acreman, has created an oasis for the fresh salad and cafe-culture hungry expats and locals.
All the cuisine shows off the local produce, commonly featuring pineapple, papaya or coconut. The menu has a range of breakfast items from pancakes to eggs benedict and lunch items like the tasty Ota Fern or green Papaya salad. The counter is always full of delicious sweets, the Gluten free brownie being my favourite and the chocolate filled donut Jono’s. Prices are very reasonable and affordable and the staff are lovely.
The cafe turns into an evening destination on Friday nights when it extends it’s offerings to include a three course dinner. You can make sure you don’t miss out on the latest happenings at Taste by befriending them on Facebook.
It’s not far from the airport if you have a bit of layover time. When our friends are heading back to NZ, we occasionally take them here after they check in for their flight and get them back in time to depart.
The aircon is always cranking so go and check out Taste Fiji at Lot 1 Cawa Road, Martintar, Nadi. They’re open 6:30am - 6:00pm Monday to Sunday. (Later on Fridays)
