Solomon Islands - Food and Restaurants

The Solomon Islands have been greatly influenced by European powers since the 16th century. Tourists will be able to find plenty of international restaurants around the larger cities such as Honiara and Gizo. However, there are still spots where traditional cooking and cuisine can be found. The local food mainly consists of taro, coconuts,fish,and fresh fruits and vegetables. Of course, international cuisine has become much more popular throughout the country. Most night life venues are located inside the city of Honiara. Tourists will be hard pressed to find a night spot outside of the capital city.
