The Venue
What sets Tiko’s apart is its location on a permanently moored boat, creating an ambiance that’s both tranquil and nostalgic. The gentle sway and creak of the vessel add to the charm, making it an ideal spot for a romantic evening or a special occasion.

Nightly seafood specials like walu (Spanish mackerel) and pakapaka (snapper) depend on the day’s catch, ensuring a fresh and unique dining experience every time.
Ambiance and Entertainment
The restaurant offers some of the most spectacular sunset views over the harbor, enhancing the dining experience. Live jazz and performances by talented musicians like Jese Mucunabitu add to the lively yet relaxed atmosphere, making every meal a delightful sensory experience.
