The Boat Shed was nice and close to the Aitutaki Lagoon Resort and Spa, and offered some fun, unique meals. The views of the ocean waves were relaxing and amazing. Staff were all very friendly! More

We enjoyed the atmosphere and views. If you plan to come for dinner and want to sit on the veranda outside make sure you book. The places outside are limited. Food tasted very good and reasonably priced for Aitutaki. More

A great restaurant, with a fantastic menu and wonderful staff. Something for everyone. And a great view of the lagoon and ocean with option to sit out by the hammocks overlooking the lagoon. We ate here every night - didn't need to go anywhere else, even though we had a look at other places. Great lunches too! Thanks guys!! More

Great character filled bar that served up decent food at some of the best prices on the island. Enjoyed Ika Mata and curried prawns with a few sly coronas. You could easily spend a night here drinking with the locals and enjoying the view of the Pacific. More

Nice view. Nothing exciting about the food. Very casual, not a very comfortable or warm place to have dinner. More

My husband and I have had a meal at the Boat Shed Restaurant, Aitutaki on several occasions. We found the staff to be friendly and efficient. The meals we ordered were scrumptious affordable and well presented . The wait time for our meal was minimal. The restaurant is clean and is situated a stone throw from the beach and has... More
