    We were in Raro in January and the food in Raro was so fresh and yum! People say it’s expensive but it’s the same price as NZ and tastes so much better.
    Vili’s burger joint
    Falafel shack
    Progressive dinner tour
    Kai & co
    We’re our favourite places to eat.

    • @ChasingaPlate
      @ChasingaPlate  6 місяців тому +1
