The Cook Islands: Rarotonga

Rarotonga offers dozens of restaurants in a variety of price ranges and with different cuisines. Downtown Avarua has the largest concentration of restaurants ranging from Mama's or the Blue Note Café to the Tamarind House with its international menu. Trader Jack's is legendary - when a cyclone took out their restaurant, they reopened for a time in a ship container and were known as Jack's in the Box until they rebuilt in their harbor-side location.
