Cuisine of Nadi for gourmets. Places for dinner - best restaurants

The local cuisine is a unique combination of Latin American, Japanese and Chinese culinary traditions. Many culinary connoisseurs note that truly national dishes can be found only when you visit a home of a local or on remote islands. Modern restaurants offer many original dishes, but you cannot call them national. The most common products that are used for the preparation of the majority of culinary masterpieces are rice, cassava, seafood and exotic fruits.

Fans of seafood delicacies will like "Cocody" - one of the local species of fish, which is marinated in lime juice. As a rule, this fish is served with a garnish - a salad named rourou, the main component of which is taro leaves. The names of the local vegetables may also seem quite exotic for the locals. Tapioca (sweet root) is usually fried and seasoned with coconut milk and banana sauce - the dish is very popular among vegetarians. A vegetable called duruka looks and tastes a bit like asparagus. The vegetable is boiled and served with various sauces and seasonings.

For the local residents this is a familiar and an ordinary food, but foreigners are always amazed by the unusual fruit that is sliced into thin pieces and then grilled.
