Tiko's Floating Restaurant
A seafood and steakhouse on a permanently moored former cruise ship in Suva Harbour, known for baked lobster, coconut curry crab and fresh local fish.
Tiko's Floating Restaurant is on the MV Lycianda, moored along Stinson Parade. The ship was built in 1970 and converted into a restaurant in 1985. It faces Ratu Sukuna Park and is within walking distance of the Holiday Inn Suva. The window-lined dining cabins overlook the harbor. The ship does not sail, but it sways gently with the water, and some evenings feature live local bands. The menu focuses on local seafood and steaks: baked lobster, coconut curry crab, kokoda (raw fish cured in citrus juice and coconut milk), walu (Spanish mackerel) fillet and New Zealand beef steak. Chalkboard specials change with the day's catch. No reliable current price list is available online, so ask about the price of market-priced seafood such as lobster and mud crab before ordering. Booking by phone is recommended at +679 450 2959, and you should confirm the day's opening hours.
