Octopus prides itself in using fresh local produce. You won't find chicken nuggets on the menu here! You will find freshly caught seafood, tropical fruits and vegetables and fresh thirst-quenching juices. Most of what we cook is grown locally or caught in the waters around Octopus. We have a wonderful new restaurant, its sand floors, open air design and large decks make it the idea place to relax and enjoy our spectacular sunsets.
Breakfast Lunch and Dinner are included in the meal plan rate at Octopus. Breakfast includes the freshest and juiciest in season fruit, toast and preserves, cereals, tea , plunger coffee and fruit juices (and once a week Fijian Pancakes )For the hearty eaters a traditional English full cooked breakfast. Lunch is a la carte and could be a tuna salad, delicious pizza or you can concoct your own omelette or toasted sandwich creation. Also available fruit platters, banana smoothies, a cold beer or seasonal seafood specials - the list goes on. Dinner starts with a entree followed by a main course. We have a twenty one day rotational menu at Octopus so there's plenty of variety. If you have special dietary requirements please talk to our reservation staff or Resort Manager - we can accommodate most needs in this area. For dessert we will tempt you with banana splits, baked desserts and ice cream sundaes (yes ice cream in the tropics!)

Lobster Champagne Dinner For a truly memorable dining experience we offer a private candlelit, lobster and champagne dinner. As the sun goes down you will be seated on a private table in the sand just a few metres from the waters edge. Our lobster dinners are far less that you would expect and are a fantastic way to spend a romantic evening under the stars.
Fresh Spring Water There is a beautiful mountain behind the resort which contains the crystal clear spring water that feeds Octopus and the village. It is the reason that Waya has been settled for thousands of years, even during the last drought Waya Island's water supply never ran dry. The aquifer has been replenished during the last few years - so even after the last of our grandchildren have disappeared off the face of the earth - Waya Island will still have a supply of fresh mountain spring water.
We do drink the fresh mountain springwater that supplies the resort, but if you prefer we have a supply of Fiji Water for sale at the bar. And of course there's the bar itself. what tropical island escape would be complete without a cool beer to toast the last few rays of the spectaular sunset� and of course a cocktail or three..we have a range of delicious cocktails to tempt your tatebuds.... We also have a selection of wines from New Zealand and Australia - and of course cold Fiji Bitter - actually it's a lager and very nice it is too! A friendly reminder - Octopus is situated in the middle of the South Pacific, there are no shops, no local supermarket (unless you're talking about shark dives!) or local pharmacies on Waya Island, so if you have any specific dietary requirements, food allergies or medical conditions you should prepare yourself before you leave the convenience of your home environment.
