Fatboys Restaurant
Solomon Islands
Fatboys Restaurant is the restaurant and bar at Fatboys Resort on Mbabanga Island near Gizo in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands. The operator’s official site identifies it as part of the island resort, and Tourism Solomons places it a short boat ride from Gizo and the airport, overlooking sheltered waters and reefs. The setting is distinctly overwater, with the dining area reached by jetty and positioned for views across the surrounding lagoon. The restaurant focuses on all-day dining and drinks, with breakfast, lunch and dinner served alongside bites, barista coffee and a fully licensed bar. Its menu description highlights local specialities and western favourites, with fresh seafood, desserts, smoothies and juices, and an emphasis on ingredients sourced locally or from the resort’s own surroundings. Dietary requirements can be accommodated, according to the resort’s dining page. The experience is framed as relaxed and informal rather than formal fine dining, with the restaurant described by the operator as a place to sit, eat and enjoy the views. The resort also offers personalised picnics on secluded beaches or islands, extending the dining offer beyond the main venue. This makes food part of a broader island stay centred on the water, the reef and the natural setting. Because Fatboys is part of a resort rather than a standalone city restaurant, the overall character is shaped by its beach-and-lagoon environment, with boating access, sunset-style drinks and a social waterfront atmosphere. Official and tourism sources consistently describe it as an island retreat with an on-site restaurant and bar, so the dining experience is best understood as a scenic, destination-led venue anchored in the resort itself.
