And now for some user generated content - Fr in Nasese

Posting this drivel month in month out gets to be a drag. We have to go from filthy greasy spoon to disgusting dive, spending our own money and risking our own stomach linings. So its a relief when someone writes in and gives us content, as our friend Bill did last week. To whit:

If you haven't been to Fr (don't understand the stupid name) in the old "Point After" building down from Suva Grammar on Queen Elizabeth Drive, you're missing out. I don't know why that man (the owner of the former Cakodrove) has the magic recipe for fish & chips, but he does. I recommend the cod ($10), although they might recommend something else when you visit. Apparently they opened a couple weeks ago. I just hope they can overcome the curse on that building and build a good business. Don't think I could handle the emotional hit of having them close again. There's a lot of healthier food available for lunch in Suva, but none tastier.

Best regards,
Bill

Thanks to Bill. Of course none of the Lunch in Suva team have actually been there so we can't stand by a word of the above - but who needs verification when you have someone doing your work for you.

Been there - excellent fish and chips. I recommend eating in because they give you a way larger serve then and the view is pretty cool!!!

You idiots, no one is paying you do to this, its entirely your choice. If you don't want to go from filthy greasy spoon to disguisting dive, risk your stomach lining, just shut up, stop doing this and get on with your lives instead of complaining like a school girl

@Anonymous: I suppose the rule also applies to you - no one paid you or forced you to make a comment.

These guys are actually doing us a favor by going around and trying out food at places so we all have an idea of where and what to have for lunch. You should start your own blog called "100 ways to get hit by a car" and post articles of yourself getting hit by a car in different ways everyday.

We may just pay you for that.

Thanks, you just exposed how many active brain cells you have. And the blog admin didn't bother to respond to my comments but you did - that says even more things about you.

One Day, a couple friends and I were having a few drinks with our meals. Suddendly, the police came and asked us to leave stating that the owners called them. No reason was given and we were not making any trouble as we were the only ones there. If the owners had asked us nicely with a reason we would have left. VERY BAD SERVICE AND MANNERS.

Lunch in Suva is quirky, original and totally irreverent. You guys call it like it is.

What an antidote to the usual "the beaches are always empty, the weather is always perfect and the food always impeccable".

I love it.

All I can say is keep it up.

Will soon be republishing your stuff on my blog--wwww.fijiguide.com.
