Elilai Seaside Restaurant
Elilai Seaside Restaurant and Bar
Seaside restaurant serving Palauan and Pacific Rim fusion dishes made with local fresh fish and organic vegetables. It has consistently ranked at the top of Palau's restaurant lists.
Set on the bay at Medalaii in Koror, the restaurant looks toward the Rock Islands for sunset views, and the guidebook calls it Palau's best choice for special occasions. Signature dishes include sesame-crusted tuna, Koror mangrove clams, grilled catch of the day, and Palauan-style steamed fish. Main courses run about US$25-45, which is pricey by local standards. Service can be slow at peak times, so book dinner in advance and arrive early if you want the sunset. The restaurant offers free hotel shuttles, and a taxi from downtown hotels takes only a few minutes.
