Koru Cafe
Serves espresso coffee and has wifi internet.
Rapae Bay Restaurant
The pacific resort 31720 - open 7 days a week reservations are required. the best food and service on the island and on a par with other a la carte dining experiences travellers will be used to.
Samade's Bar
Great bbq on sunday
Cafe Tupuna
31678 - not open on sundays reservations are required. the food and service on the island is as good as you will find on the island and is on par with other a-la-carte dining experiences travellers will be used to.
Popoara's Boathouse
The boathouse will hopefully be more on par with the te vaka bar & grill once it is fully up and running, with more seafood on the menu. the best ike mata on the island.
Ike mata
Try the island's Ike mata raw tuna with coconut milk. It is delicious! And Poke a Cook Island Banana pudding which usually comes baked in the Earth oven or "Umu" Try not to eat snapper as they may give you ciguatera.
Te Vaka Bar & Grill
Aitutaki. an excellent option for meals with possibly the largest menu on the island. good quality and price, but sometimes the service is on "island time". something travellers will likely experience, positively hopefully, anywhere in the outer islands. te vaka does have limited kitchen hours for meals, but the bar is also your best bet for any live sports, as they have a plasma tv hooked up to satellite. friday nights are popular rugby nights for locals to cheer on the all blacks. if you are australian you can expect some good natured ribbing when any wallaby match is on.
Puffy's
For the best fish and chips on the island
The following all serve decent quality food but it definitely leans more to a take away style menu, with hamburgers being a big staple.
