Muri Night Market: dinner from a row of food stalls
📍 Rarotonga, Cook Islands
Where
Muri Beach Village
Opening hours
Evenings, several nights a week from around 5pm — confirm current nights locally
Typical cost
Inexpensive by island standards
The Muri night market is a collection of food stalls and trucks at Muri Beach Village, running several evenings a week. It is casual, sociable and considerably cheaper than a restaurant.
What to expect
Barbecued meat and fish, curries, wok-fried noodles, fresh drinking coconuts, and usually something sweet at the end. Order from whichever stall has the queue.
Practical
- Cash. Some stalls take cards, plenty do not.
- Seating is shared and fills up early in peak season.
- The nights it runs have changed over the years — check locally rather than relying on an old blog post.
💡 Local tip
Bring cash and come hungry. If you see ika mata — raw fish in coconut cream and lime — order it. It is the dish people remember.
