Our 10th Wedding Anniversary Dinner - Ports O' Call in Fiji...

What a perfect evening - we had booked to eat at what is supposed to be Denarau Island's best restaurant - Ports O' Call at the neighbouring Sheraton Hotel.

We caught the Bula bus (which leaves every five minutes and travels around Denarau Island - about a 10 mintue trip) to the Sheraton...

The dinner was absolutely perfect - the service was exquisite - and the food was fantastic...

We had such tasty homemade warm pesto and chive rolls (complimentary) when we arrived. It was a surprise when the chef's specialty of a Fijian chicken and rice dish with sweet chili sauce came out. We were entertained by a lovely pianist playing at a baby grand right in the restaurant and had an excellent tapas plate for our entree...this was (of course) follwed by a palate cleansing lime sorbet set on an half an orange and a slice of fresh pineapple...

Our mains were the best - Tim had a fillet steak on a chive and garlic bed of mashed potato with vegetables while I had French style rack of lamb with garlic, rosemary and mint with a beautiful serve of baked scalloped potatoes...

Dessert was perfect. Tim had a modern style tiramisu while I had the most delightful rich chocolate pudding...the chocolate decorations were miniature works of Fijian art!!

Definitely our most amazing wedding anniversary dinner - an absolutely wonderful evening!!

Our second day in Fiji...Teppanyaki at the Hamacho...









On our second day in Fiji we had breakfast at the Westin's Ocean Terrace Restaurant (which we did each day) - the food was perfect....and the fresh pineapple amazing!



For dinner we went to the Westin's Hamacho Japanese restaurant for Teppanyaki...we started with miso soup, then had gorgeous lobster dumplings. The chef then cooked us a mixture of really tender steak, chicken, lamb cutlets, fish, fried rice and noodles served with a salad and yummy sauces. For dessert we had chocolate and green tea ice-cream - and Tim tried some Japanese tea...definitely our best ever Teppanyaki!

Dinner in Fiji - the first night...The Steakhouse Bar & Grill...



We thought that we would be too late for dinner on our first night in Fiji, but we were able to get in at the Steakhouse and Grill at the Westin for dinner at 9pm (8pm in Australia) and had some really excellent steaks and amazing looking desserts...
