The Mooring Fish Café

It takes about 20 minutes by bus from Avarua to reach this restaurant, located at the Avana Fishing Club in Muri. It's basically a beachside shack with picnic tables shaded by umbrellas, but it wins praise for its inventive and generously portioned salads and sandwiches. Most are made with chicken or fresh-caught fish; you order from a chalkboard menu. Open for lunch; closed Saturdays.
