"Bula" isn’t just a greeting here, but a way of being that is embraced in all the very best things to do in Fiji. The totally relaxed, friendly vibe is as vibrant as the tropical shirts that are the unofficial uniform of its citizens. And if you really want to get into that bula vibe, then you have to know where to go, what to eat and which hotels to stay at. Luckily, Fiji has everything covered, from adventure sports to relaxation and its unique cuisine, which borrows heavily from Indian influences. Done something on this list and loved it?

Rocket Burgers is located at the corner of Elizabeth and Flinders streets in the CBD - not the most glamorous surrounds, where hundreds of busy commuters, earphones plugged in, cause pedestrian gridlock. But in the wee small hours it's busy for a whole other reason – very late night burgers.It’s designed for take-away, with only seven stools and a slim table. But that won’t really matter, because this hole-in-the-wall, which opened in 2015 is keeping those grills hot until 6am on weekend party nights. The menu is sparse (six burgers, plus sides)  but what it lacks in size it makes up for it in taste. Try the lime and pepper chicken burger, smothered in American cheese, creamy guacamole, a tangy, tomato relish and the traditional salad trimmings. The chicken breast is tender and juicy, while the lime and pepper adds a subtle zing. The only let down is the somewhat flimsy buns that needs to be a bit stronger to hold its contents together to make it from box to mouth. Add the loaded cheesy and bacon fries to your order; a generous bucket of golden crunchy fries laden with sizeable chunks of crisp bacon for a smoky hit and American cheese.  The man-burger is terribly named but it also happens to be the Noah’s Ark of burgers - there’s two of everything; two slices of bacon, two slices of cheese and two beef patties, cooked well done and made from Angus beef that they grind in-house. The pickle, onion, tomato and lettuce brings lightness to all that protein. Rocket Burgers’ got tha

The first thing that strikes you when you walk into Melbourne’s newest burger joint is the Great Wall of Sauce - more than 100 bottles of liquid flavour, from mild and sweet honey mustard to blistering hot chilli that has enough kick to send you to the moon. But they’re mere accessories to the star attraction, the burgers that require two hands, lots of napkins and one big appetite. In an old-school aluminum chip tray your double beef comes with two juicy patties, cooked medium rare and topped with cheese, tomato, lettuce, onion, and pickles. All in order so far. But the Ef’n Kale burger proves to be a surprising winner. A thick, hearty veggie pattie that’s full herbs and earthy with potato, carrots and plump peas comes wearing a juicy stack of wilted kale and a bitey tomato kasundi. Score one, vegetables.  The smoked mac 'n' cheese is a bit of a one-trick pony – it has all the campfire flavour you could wish for, but it overwhelms the cheese. A better bet is the triple cooked, extra crunchy chips.    A chocolate milkshake in a mason jar is more eye candy than taste sensation with a skewer of marshmallow and jelly lollies because even milkshakes get a garnish these days. The café itself, as they say in diplomatic circles, is ‘cosy’; there are four tables inside and seven outside, but it packs a whole lot of '90s ambiance in a small space. The fitout is identical to those beloved fish and chip shops that every Melbourne suburb had in the '80s and '90s. Blasting out of speakers
