Yesterday, we hosted a family outing activity for nieces and nephews from Australia for a hands-on, flavor-packed adventure at Foundation for Rural Integrated Enterprises & Development.
​The kids jumped headfirst into a recycled papermaking activity, rolling up their sleeves to mash pulp, screen sheets, and transform waste into unique handmade paper. Watching their creativity shine while learning about sustainability was easily one of the highlights of the day.

​After working up an appetite, we moved to the restaurant for a proper Fijian feast. We treated the family to an incredible spread of ika tavu (grilled fish) paired with smokey eggplant tavu, rich coconut miti, and plenty of local root crops—all washed down with ice-cold, refreshing tamarind juice.

​Satiated bellies, big smiles, and unforgettable family memories made in Fiji. Nothing beats good food, great culture, and quality time together! 🌿🐟✨

Dear Guests

Tukuni is closed for an event today the 15th August.

The Idea2Market Regenerative Bioeconomy Initiative is supporting women entrepreneurs in Fiji and Samoa to transform local crops, traditional knowledge and innovative ideas into sustainable businesses that benefit communities and protect the environment.

“Across the Pacific, MSMEs underpin much of the Pacific’s local economic activity and family livelihoods, and women are the centre of that story. Pacific women have long been innovators, producers, traders, and community leaders. What initiatives like Idea2Market do is help unlock the commercial potential of that knowledge and talent in ways that strengthen incomes, food security, and long-term economic opportunity,” said The Asia Foundation Regional Representative, Sandra Kraushaar.

We had the absolute honor of hosting the Youth Talanoa Session on Peacebuilding and Social Cohesion right here at Tukuni Restaurant in Tuvu yesterday!
​A massive Vinaka Vakalevu to the United Nations Development Programme - UNDP for choosing Tukuni Restaurant as your venue partner for this incredibly important initiative. 🙏✨

​It was beautiful to see our space filled with rich dialogue and vibrant collaboration as young leaders, students, and youth representatives came together to discuss their vital role in promoting peaceful dialogue, preventing division, and building a more united, resilient Fiji. 🇫🇯

​At Tukuni, we believe that deep, meaningful talanoa thrives best when paired with nourishing food. Our team loved catering the event, serving up a fresh, wholesome spread of local flavors to keep these change-makers fueled and inspired throughout the day. 🍲🌿

​Thank you all for bringing your passion, insights, and vision for a peaceful future to our restaurant. Tukuni is proud to support our youth, and we look forward to hosting many more powerful sessions like this one!
