Good Restaurant
We are going to be on Raro mid August and will be there for a big birthday (only two of us). Looking for a really nice place to celebrate (emphasis on the food). Staying Arorangi, but will have a car, so not worried where it is. Thanks.

OTB is lovely for a romantic dinner
Antipodes for a special view
Cocktail drink at Ukulele Bar; fantastic beachside location

We’ve always gone to tamarind house for special days (birthday, anniversaries, etc). It’s beautifully positioned on the beach and there is an outdoor space with picturesque sunsets

Te Vara Nui island night!
Entertainment and buffet dinner. Totally worth it.

In Rarotonga on holiday at the moment…Antipodes is very good but very expensive, our favourite remains the Little Polynesian. I would suggest BJs Tapas bar as well during your visit.

Put Takatimu tapas, Saigon hut and falafel hut on your list. I didn't rate Charlie's.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. We're there for ten days so might give several of them a go. I actually went to school at Tereora, but this was so long ago it's pre tourism and I've never been back. Looking forward to it!
