On our many trips to Samoa, weâve eaten at a number of good restaurants, but tonight we were treated to the very best food weâve had here. Each dish was meticulously prepared, and beautifully presented. Local ingredients were used, for the most part, and combined in interesting ways. Thank you for a wonderful, fine dining experience. My only regret is that I failed to photograph the meal, each course as photogenic as the next.Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly lovely to meet you both and be able to host, serve and cook for you at Whisk. We are looking forward to seeing you both again. God bless!

the food was awesome ordered the local sirloin taro chips and a side of palusami dip the first time and it was just awesome the steak was cooked just right and the palusami dip is a very good condiment for the taro chips, on my second visit this time I ordered the beef ribs the meat was literally falling of the bone and the waitress is always friendly

Donât go here if your really hungry. Our food took quite a while to come even though there were only 2 other couples waiting. Medium well done steak stop arrived med rare and was cold in the middle, pork belly burnt on the outside. I had to swap my steak with my husbands pork as it was that undercooked, and even he couldnât eat it all. We were that annoyed we didnât bother complaining. Prices are too expensive for the quality that is served. The only positives weâre the outdoor eating and the view.

Party of 6 for lunch. We were seated right away which is always nice and you typically find this in most restaurants in Samoa. Service was good however typical for Samoa never a sense of urgency. We ordered speciality drinks, all were delicious including the banana juice. Meals were all presented well and enjoyed. The only problem we had was the salmon wrap which by description was to include capers and creme cheese. When we unwrapped it and showed our wait staff that the wrap only had lettuce and salmon they returned to our table with a small dish of bell peppers. Apparently the chef is unclear what capers and creme cheese is. We could see the staff huddled in the kitchen. Finally someone came out with a dab of something white and explained this was all the creme cheese they had and offered a very small dish of a few capers. Aside from this our meal was great and we ordered desserts. I would recommend Rokoâs but donât order the salmon wrap, key ingredients missing.

Our big family group went for dinner and we all the wonderful dishes on display. The setting was very nice and we had a whole room to ourselves which made it more intimate for our big group. The lobster was amazing I could tell my family dishes were great too as we were all quiet eating away. Great place to dine with a setting to suit too :)

We had the best food in Apia, indeed, best food have had for a long time anywhere, absolutlely gorgeous. the owners - Samoan and Italian couple, so welcoming and passionate about providing excellent food and a wonderful relaxing environment for their guests.

I have not tried their food as yet, but heard its really nice. The ambience for eating is a lovely garden area, quiet and serene. I go for the shopping. It is a big shop of giftware and clothing. My favourite are their material prints that you can buy and get someone to sew you a dress or shirt etc or they can sew it for you. I love how you can also custom order the print you want and the colours you want but will need to wait a couple of days for it to be ready. Staff are lovely! One of my favourite places in Samoa!

We loved the lunch we had at Nourish on our penultimate day in Samoa. In fact, we loved it so much that we rushed back on our last day to have an early lunch before we headed out to the airport. The food was fresh and flavoursome. Both days we ordered a main dish from the menu and then one of the cabinet salads with added chicken (this is the way to go if you're wanting to save tala at the end of your trip). The two cabinet salads were our favourite meals, as the flavours were bold and we'd felt a little deprived of vegetables at other cafes and restaurants. In terms of sweets, we enjoyed the passionfruit cheesecake, and we loved the pineapple and ginger slice too (we had that on both days). The decor was lovely, specious and cool. We found the staff really nice also. All up, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nourish Cafe to anybody.
