Relocated to Wailoaloa after establishing a following at Namaka Market Vasaqua is a “hip” Restaurant by Fiji standards, the interior flowing naturally into outdoor seating offering a privileged vantage of island sunsets.
Open for lunch and dinner daily, the menus slightly different with Food served alongside local Beers, Cocktails and Milkshakes, guests are greeted by pleasant servers well-informed of the Chef’s ingredients and inspirations.
Operated by Benjamin Hussein, often seen tending to a spit-roast Hog outside, it is amidst modern confines that diners enjoy everything from Fried Walu to Coconut Milk Bao Buns stuffed with a choice of protein such as moist, chopped Chicken.
Using housemade Pickles and Salsa to add flavor, though the Chili and Lime do plenty for Vasaqua’s Bird, Pork is predictably faultless with hints of smoke and crisp Skin while made-to-order Fries come in thick wedges with a soft interior and an oilless yet crunchy surface.
Globally influenced, but done right with all local Ingredients, Taco shells aren’t the usual but serve their purpose and for those seeking something sweet the “Guava Freak Shake” utilizes housemade Juice and Syrup to create something cold, refreshing and surprisingly light.
