Restaurants is a popular surf spot located off the resort island of Tavarua. It serves as a reliable option for surfers, especially when Cloudbreak is too big or crowded. The wave is known for its consistent performance and offers a scenic view, as it breaks right in front of the diners.

The wave at Restaurants primarily breaks left and works best with south to southwest swells. Ideal conditions occur when the swell reaches sizes around 3 feet (approximately 0.9 meters). South-southeast winds help create clean waves. It’s important to hit this spot during mid to high tide, as low tide can make things tricky due to the sharp coral underneath. This is definitely an expert-only wave, so keep that in mind unless you’re confident in your skills.

Other surf options on the island include Kiddieland, which is great for beginners looking for easier rides. For those seeking something a bit more intense, Tavarua Rights can offer fun walls to rip on when the swell is smaller. Getting to these spots generally involves either walking or paddling over the reef, or simply taking the resort boat to drop you off.
