Tuoro Cafe

Rarotonga


Asian-inspired tapas – try the steamed pork dumplings – combine with fish, chicken and steak lunch dishes at this welcoming elevated spot on Raro's northwestern coast. There's a good selection of beer, gin and tonics are served with a generous addition of the good stuff, and there are top views from the sunny deck to the landmark of Black Rock.
