Restaurant Kuki Varua

We recharged at this restaurant after trekking to the volcanic craters. They serve delicious dishes made from fresh fish, tasty fresh juices, and even dessert as part of the menu. The staff was attentive and always brought exactly what we ordered. A perfect spot to relax and refuel after an adventure.

If you don't mind salty food then you would likely rate the restaurant 4 or even 5. However, if like me you don't want your food oversalted (as the fish was) maybe say something when you order or eat elsewhere. There is salt on the table that people can add to their taste (but you can't take it out) so there is no need to pour it on when cooking. The salad and mango pisco sour were fine.

Worst fried fish! Soggy and unflavorful breading (it’s like they put it in cold grease and let it slowly cook). Also a bottle of water is 3k! Expensive and terrible.

Good food but tipping is not mandatory….. 👎🏻

The food and service are ok, but the presentation can be improved.

We had the best peltre, a beautiful ceviche and free coffee/pisco. Great service

Ich war an einem Sonntag im Restaurant essen. Es gab 2 Menüs und ich bestellte den Thunfisch! Die Wartezeit war sehr kurz, die beiden Damen und der Herr waren alle freundlich und das Essen war wirklich, wirklich gut! Thunfisch Steak mit Beilagen, Dessert, ein zuckerfreies Cola, Brot, Aufstrich, alles zusammen inkl Steuern und ca 10% Trinkgeld 25 Euro! Da geh ich doch in 1-2 Tagen gleich nochmal hin essen…

Si bien el menú es económico dentro de los precios de la isla ($15.000 aprox). La porción no es tanta, las papas fritas no son naturales (prefritas). De igual forma, no estaba malo.

Wonderful service and a great menu! Love this place. Check it out for yourself!

I was actually looking for a different restaurant that seems to have closed recently, so I came here instead for lunch. They posted their menu on the window and offer a lot of options, including seafood, pastas, salads, and steak. The interior is nice and clean and has decorations of moai. I ordered the mero white fish with mashed potatoes and a Mahina (local pale ale). And my food came with complimentary bread and yummy pebre (Chilean salsa). My entree was huge! The fish was pretty good and the sauce it came in was really tasty and had pieces of crab plus a little crab claw. The crab was yummy! The mashed potatoes were really good too with sliced green onion mixed in. The two servers were awesome - really friendly and so efficient! The prices are on a little on the high side, but it's Easter Island, so things are expensive here anyway, but they do accept credit card! I asked what the name of this place meant, and the server said it meant "spirit of the kitchen." Cool! It's located across from the soccer field and super close to the little pier with the moai.
