15 BEST Restaurants in Majuro & the Marshall Islands

One of the best-presented dining spots you'll find on Majuro, even down to the local meals, Riwut Restaurant is a must-do.

The restaurant is decorated with local art and crafts and offers a cosy layout of booths and tables tucked away in various corners.

Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the menu is impressively wide-ranging. Mornings bring everything from a classic western breakfast and fluffy waffles with blueberries or bananas to island favourites like loco moco and the fun namonamo (a hotdog rolled in a pancake, in case you were wondering).

Come lunch and dinner, the kitchen shifts into full gear with steaks, grilled parrotfish, chicken katsu, pasta, noodles, burgers and combo platters. Don't miss the "Local Combo," which pairs reef fish or tuna steak with four local side dishes and a glass of jakaro (coconut sap) - one of the best options to try something truly local on Majuro!

A kids' menu, desserts and a solid drinks list round things out nicely.

Won Hai Shien is a spacious Taiwanese restaurant serving an extensive menu of home-style Taiwanese dishes, and it's one of the more polished dining options in town.

The menu spans everything from pork and vegetable dumplings to spicy beef noodle soup, sizzling iron-board dishes and whole fish prepared four different ways. We personally love the "Sizzling Beef" and the "Century Egg Tofu", a chilled silken tofu topped with preserved eggs and scallions drizzled in Taiwanese-style soy paste. Both are standouts.

The food is visually appealing, the dining room is decorated with murals and there's plenty of space to settle in. It's open Monday to Saturday, from 10 am to 3 pm and 5 pm to 9 pm.

Yes, it's a touch pricier than some of the surrounding options, but the quality justifies it.

Perched atop Majuro's tallest "skyscraper" (and yes, we use that term loosely), Toeak Bar & Grill is a sports bar and restaurant with some of the best harbour views in town, especially at sunset.

The menu is a crowd-pleasing mix of American classics, Hawaiian-inspired plates and Mexican dishes, with crowd favourites including the "Hawaiian BBQ Mix Plate" (kalbi ribs, teriyaki beef and chicken), the "Clubhouse Sandwich", which is huge by the way, and a solid line-up of tacos.

Starters like Hawaiian-style poke and sashimi give the menu a local Pacific flavour, while pizzas, strombolis, ramen, yakisoba and wraps round things out nicely for those who can't make up their minds.

It's open from 11 am to 9:30 pm daily (from noon on Sundays), and being a proper sports bar, expect screens showing basketball, the Marshall Islands' most-loved sport, and increasingly baseball too.

The Flame Tree is a lively bar and restaurant in Delap, easily spotted by its bright green exterior, and it punches well above its weight when it comes to food.

Don't let the dive-bar vibe put you off; the menu is surprisingly broad, spanning stuffed-crust pizzas, hotdogs, burgers, ramen, lunch and dinner plates and a solid drinks list.

The pizzas are the real drawcard here. We personally recommend the stuffed-crust "Hawaiian Hotdog" (ham, pineapple, onions, mushrooms and olives with a stuffed crust), though the "Meat Lover" and "Combination Seafood Pizza" are worth a look too.

Beyond pizza, the lunch and dinner menu covers everything from chicken katsu and loco moco to fresh sashimi and catch of the day, all served with rice and salad.

Pool tables keep things entertaining, and from Thursday to Saturday the place stays open until around 2 am, when karaoke nights get going and the atmosphere turns decidedly rowdy. Otherwise, The Flame Tree is open from 10 am to 9 pm, Monday to Thursday and 10 am to 2 am, Friday and Saturday.

For the ultimate street food experience, try the Marshall Islands' only food truck(s) at The Food Truck 692!

The Food Truck 692 is actually two food trucks in one spot, both owned by the same team, parked right in the heart of the action near the main government buildings and K&K Island Price Supermarket.

The big truck is your go-to for hearty mixed plates, with options like chicken katsu, garlic chicken, poke and tuna katsu, all served with steamed rice and macaroni salad.

The smaller truck swings the other way entirely, serving up Mexican staples like burritos, "Burrito Bowl" and fish tacos made with local wahoo, plus ice cream, sno cones and banana splits for dessert.

It's a popular lunch stop for local workers, which is always a good sign, and open from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Saturday.

Sure, there are plenty of Chinese restaurants in Majuro, so why choose Island Star? Expansive menu, free WiFi and fun-themed rooms and décor!

It's a Chinese restaurant with serious range, serving everything from mapo tofu and kung pao chicken to braised abalone, spicy conch meat and New York steak, all ordered straight from your phone or tablet via a slick digital menu.

The menu spans lamb, beef, duck, chicken, fish, seafood, pork, noodles, rice, soups and vegetarian dishes, with chef's recommendations and seasonal specials rotating regularly, so there's always something new to try.

But the main highlight is the themed dining rooms; it's worth booking ahead to secure the VIP room, which adds a bit of atmosphere to the meal, such as the cherry blossom room. And before you head in, get a photo with the eye-catching mural outside.

Free WiFi is available throughout, and the restaurant is open from 10 am to 10 pm, every day.

Tide Table Restaurant & Lounge is one of Majuro's most reliable dining options.

Open daily from 7 am through to around 9 or 9:30 pm (with the lounge often staying open a little later), this waterfront restaurant at Hotel Robert Reimers serves up a menu far more expansive than you might expect on a small Pacific island.

Breakfast runs the full range, from a "Fruit Bowl" and "Fisherman's Favourite" (grilled tuna steak with eggs) to a hearty "Loco Moco" and classic "Ham and Cheese Omelette."

Come lunch and dinner, the menu stretches into steaks, pasta, curries, sashimi, pizza and fresh local fish, particularly the sautéed fish and sashimi, which locals and regulars tend to rave about.

Theme nights keep things interesting throughout the week: Monday is "Pasta Night," Tuesday is "Taco Night," Wednesday is "Asian Night," Thursday is "Pizza Night," Friday is "Prime Rib Night" and Saturday brings a "Weekend Special."

Outside guests are very welcome, catering services are available for events and the restaurant is open seven days a week.

Annie's Bakery is a small but seriously impressive café-bakery in Majuro that has quickly built a loyal following for its freshly baked bread, creative coffee menu and made-to-order sandwiches.

Open since December 2024, Annie's has already carved out a reputation as the go-to spot for a proper morning coffee and a breakfast bite that can be sweet or savoury. doesn't taste like dessert.

Their baguettes are made from non-sweet dough in Majuro (a genuine rarity on the island, as it turns out), which alone makes it worth seeking out. Pair it with one of their freshly made bagels, croissants, or spicy chicken sandwiches, and you've got a breakfast worth planning your morning around.

The coffee menu is extensive, ranging from a classic espresso to indulgent options like a "Pistachio Latte", "Butter Beer Latte" or a "Salted Caramel". Non-coffee drinkers are well catered for too, with milkshakes, milk teas and matcha-based drinks all on offer.

If you're coming for bread or the full range of baked goods, aim to arrive between 9 am and 9:30 am. Coffee is ready from 8 am, and the bakery is open from 8 am to 5:30 pm, Monday to Saturday.

Jittak Likatu Bar & Grill might lean more towards "bar" than it does "grill", but if you're only feeling snacky or want a well-presented pupu plate along with your sunset, then it's worth considering!

The vibe shifts depending on when you show up. Early evening is all about casual drinks with somewhat of a lagoon view and happy hour on beers from 5 pm to 7 pm. Later in the night, especially on weekends, the place transforms into a full-on club with live bands every Friday and Saturday.

Karaoke runs Wednesday through Friday (and during happy hour on weekends before the band starts), so there's rarely a quiet night here. The grill is open during bar hours, serving sharing platters loaded with poke, buffalo wings, octopus and shrimp, alongside burgers and full dinner plates.

The bar itself started as a humble boat bridge with coolers over a decade ago and has since grown into one of Majuro's most beloved venues, with a stage, dance floor and plans for a sky bar upstairs.

Jittak Likatu Bar & Grill is open from 5 pm to 12 pm Monday to Thursday, and 5 pm to 2 am Friday to Saturday.

Happy Tummy Restaurant is a cheerful Filipino eatery offering both eat-in and takeaway, serving up honest, home-style cooking from morning to early evening.

The dining space is bright, air-conditioned and generously sized, with flowers on the tables. Free WiFi is available, so you can linger guilt-free over your meal.

The menu rotates daily for lunch, with classics like chicken tinola, chicken adobo, pinakbet and pork caldereta all making appearances across the week. Dinner opens things up with fried noodles, pancit canton, crispy chilli chicken wings and garlic chicken, all very reasonably priced given the size of the portions.

Don't overlook the drinks menu either; the "Mango Tapioca Cooler" and "Buko Pandan Shake" are exactly the kind of thing you'll want on a warm afternoon.

Make your tummy happy from 8 am to 8 pm, Monday to Saturday.

Enra Restaurant and Dockside Bar, located within Marshall Islands Resort (MIR), is a relaxed diner-style restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with a menu broad enough to satisfy just about anyone.

Choose between air-conditioned indoor seating or a table outside by the lagoon, where the views are as good as the food.

The menu spans everything from fluffy omelettes, pancakes and loco moco in the mornings to pizzas, burgers, wraps, pasta and a solid lineup of steak and seafood come evening. Highlights include the signature "MIR Seafood Chowder", locally inspired dishes like the "Iik Mouj Fish and Chips" (made with parrotfish) and a dedicated pizza menu with thin, double or stuffed-crust options.

When the sun goes down, the Dockside Bar takes over with a selection of beers, wines and cruisers served right on the water's edge, keeping the iakwe spirit well and truly alive.

Need something to do on Sunday? Don't miss their Sunday Brunch featuring a pineapple-glazed carved ham, fresh sushi rolls, made-to-order omelettes and waffles, local Marshallese dishes like Ma Kellel and Banana Jukjuk, and much much more!

DAR Coffee Corner is a beloved old-school diner that has been serving the Marshall Islands for over 40 years.

The menu is a wonderfully eclectic mix of American diner classics, Asian-inspired noodle and rice dishes, fresh seafood plates and locally rooted Marshallese sides, making it one of the more surprisingly varied spots you'll find on the island.

The star dishes are the "Spanish Omelette" and the "Fresh Tuna Mushroom Omelette," both house specialities that keep regulars coming back. Beyond omelettes, you'll find everything from ramen and teriyaki burgers to sashimi, lumpia and a solid lineup of soups served with garlic bread.

Open seven days a week from 7 am to 3 pm (though the chef has been known to stay late, so your luck may vary), DAR Coffee Corner accepts cash, cheque and Bank of Marshall Islands debit cards.

Hidden on the back road of Rita, Anmarwut Gas Station is one of those hidden gems that rewards early risers and curious eaters in equal measure.

Run by Cathy, this hole-in-the-wall (more accurately, a hole in a shipping container) is best known for its mini doughnuts, sold by the bag and flying out the window by 8 am, so arriving around 7 am is your best bet.

If you miss the morning rush, stick around for lunch, where a rotating menu of home-cooked meals includes poke, sashimi, curry, fried chicken, bento plates and a simple but satisfying seaweed and egg soup. Better yet, it's one of the most affordable meals you'll find on the island!

There's even one solitary seat with a view, and given how few people know this place exists, there's a good chance it's yours. The vibrant display of goods visible through the flexiglass adds a surprisingly photogenic touch to the whole experience.

Anmarwut Gas Station is open from 6 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday, and 6 am to midday, Saturday (limited food on Saturdays).

Yokwe Grab 'n Go is one of Majuro's best local takeaway spots, serving up true Marshallese staples to fuel workers and curious visitors alike.

Expect whole fish (not filleted), turkey tails and fried chicken as the core offerings, while breakfast brings baked goods alongside boiled eggs and coffee (a combination you'll spot all over Majuro). Local snacks like banana chips and breadfruit chips round things out nicely.

The best part? It's ultra affordable and genuinely local. Arrive early for the best selection, as the most popular items tend to go fast.

Yokwe Grab 'n Go is open from 6 am to 2 pm, Monday to Thursday and Sunday, and from 6 am to 6 pm, Friday and Saturday.

Tucked inside a hardware and sewing store, True Value Coffee Shop is arguably the last place you'd expect to find Majuro's best cup of coffee, yet that's exactly what locals say it is.

Unlike the instant or filter coffee you'll find at most places around the atoll, True Value serves proper barista-style coffee, from rich espressos to creamy lattes and flavoured specials.

The standout order, according to regulars, is the "Hazelnut" latte, though the full menu gives you plenty to explore, including "Cappuccino", "Mocha", "Milk Tea" and even "Coconut Jelly" as an add-on.

Prices are refreshingly reasonable across the board. Plus, it's a genuinely surprising little find that's well worth the detour.

Find the coffee shop open from 8 am to 5:30 pm, Monday to Saturday.
