Where to eat Contemporary food in Port Vila: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Contemporary food in Port Vila, Efate, Vanuatu. In this nation of tiny islands and indigenous villages, Port Vila is the exception: a bustling port town with hotels, restaurants and markets to delight visitors and cruise ship passengers. The 150-foot-high Mele Cascades waterfall is the ideal place to refresh yourself in the South Pacific heat. For a glimpse of real Vanuatu culture and traditions, travelers say a trip to Ekasup Village is a must.

7. The Terrace Restaurant
Reviewed By liselh
As this restaurant was attached to Warwick Le Lagon resort where we stayed we ate here daily, but it was generally a disappointment. Costing approx $45 Aus for buffet dinners I found it was quite expensive and had very limited choices for Gluten Free requirements. Whilst the staff tried to be helpful overall the service was inconsistent and sometimes very slack. Couldn't get a good coffee and most of the staff did not understand what GF was, even though some dishes would be labelled (although not very often). Would not bother going here if you didn't stay at the resort.

We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here while staying here at the Holiday Inn Resort. Great meals and a good selection. Kids meals were good and large portions. The location up high, overlooking the Lagoon is great. If really hot, there is an Air conditioned areas as well if required. The upper entry area has a great bar area as well for drinks before hand.

We had lunch and dinner here several times during our stay at the resort, the food is OK but nothing special. Highlights were the steak, prawn curry and the vegetarian pasta, pizzas were OK. The happy hour beer/wine prices were great! If you're not staying at the resort I wouldn't recommend traveling there for the food as it is quite far out of Port Vila.Thank you for your positive comments. We are constantly upgrading both our menu and training and will take on board your review. Have a great Xmas and New Year!

Recommend this venue for a casual and relatively inexpensive (for Port Vila) option. Good beer selection - daily specials - food was good and what would be expected of this venue and price point - and if it appeals you can watch sport - as it is essentially a sports bar with televised events on the various screens. The pizza specials for 1000vt seemed very popular and they also use a proper wood fire oven - so none of these frozen base type things you see served up around the place.

We were staying at the resort, so used the restaurant for breakfast every day, and most evening meals but lunch only once.Breakfast was amazing. We all loved the banana pancakes with maple syrup, asking for double serves with sides of bacon often the norm! They don't do a traditional buffet breakfast, rather you can choose from a range of continental offerings including cereals, toats, fruit and pastries with tea, coffee and juices from a buffet area. You then choose one main meal item from the menu - our favourites being the pancakes, yoghurt (kids) and the big fala breakfast.Dinner was amazing, with some great dishes on offer. We did not have a bad dinner during our stay - and recommend the seafood dishes as they cook it perfectly.Happy hour is between 5 and 6pm every day with 20% off drinks, and with young kids, this was often the time we would conveniently arrive.For the most part, the service was excellent. However on two occasions early in our 7-night stay, we had 1 or 2 meals forgotten and had to ask for them (one at dinner and one at breakfast).Annie is an amazing waitress and looks after your every need.You do not have to stay at the resort to enjoy this restaurant, justa short 5min boat ride from the Erakor jetty located next to the Warwick Le Legon resturant.

Firstly, the service was good and the staff did a great job. The setting is great and we appreciated the comfy chairs to relax in after our meal. We found the food was very expensive and tasteless. One of us had the green curry which was nothing like green curry, more watery than curry. Another had the prawn rissotto which was more like fried rice. The entree was 1200vtv for a few small pieces of polenta. We spent over $110AUD on 2 mains, 1 starter and 1 beer.

Set on a hill overlooking the Port Vila harbour, went for our 10th wedding anniversary and weren't disappointed. Meals are five star with views to match. Staff are friendly and attentive. The briased beef cheeks and coconut prawns for mains were great. Entree the camarilised scallops. We recommended this restaurant to other tourists, who had the same view of this restauarant and happy we told them of it.Hi CarolineThank you for your 5 Star review of the Blue Marlin Club, delighted that you choose to spend your 10th Wedding anniversary with usThank you also for recommending us to others.
