Kikau Hut Restaurant
Kikau Hut
A thatched-roof eatery in Arorangi, one of the island's highest-rated local seafood dinners, famous for its coconut-cured raw fish.
Located on the ring road in Arorangi on the west side of the island, between Sunset Resort and Black Rock, and run by a team of local chefs. The signature dishes include Rarotongan-style fish, ika mata (raw fish cured in lemon and coconut) and seafood chowder, and the seafood platter and desserts also get praise. Dinner only, in a small venue, so book at least a day ahead. Free pickup and drop-off from your accommodation is offered. Prices are mid-range.
Opening hours
Mon–Sat 17:30–20:30; closed Sundays
