Food is OK but I am not sure if the staff or the owner really cares one way or the other. The pigeon and the flying fox is probably what gets people in the door but the rest of the menu is so so. I have been visiting Vanuatu regularly for over 5 years and usually fit in a meal... More

We have been going to l'houstalet for more than 20 years, once, sometimes twice a week and just love it. This restaurant has a real personality, it has a very old set-up with arches and Eiffel tower scenes and as you make your way through this French bistro Ambience and listen to the "bal musette" music you feel as if...

My sister and I visited twice and were not disappointed on either occasion. The service was good, the bread perfect and the meal reasonable priced and delicious. We tried the crab dish on the first occasion and a bowl of French Onion Soup and a pizza ( which we shared) on our next visit. We did not see the cat...... More

I had the Beef Roquefort, which was delicious! Presentation was a bit average but texture and taste of steak perfect. My wife enjoyed her pasta. Waiter was attentive and helpful. Little bit quiet inside but otherwise atmosphere ok. Worth going I'd say

Had heard how wonderful this restaurant was so eleven of us went to enjoy a night out on the first night of our holiday on Easter Sunday night. Nice welcome . Table set up well. Service was very good. Was a bit disconcerted about the cat wandering around but thought maybe this is a tradition. The menu had great variety... More

My family first ate at this restaraunt in 1986 and my wife and I have been here close to 20 times between 2007 and 2013 including our wedding in 2010 when we came here for dinner with about 20 others for a get together before the wedding day . What an amazing place. There has never been a bad meal... More

Fantastic food with true French flavours, magnificent lobster, but without the pomp and circumstance. The menu is unchanged in many years but this is not a negative. Wine list is primarily NZ. Desserts were good, but focus is on savoury options.

Dinner was Ok but we really felt that the good experience and service stopped when we asked for the bill... not even a look, no acknowledgement was made asking if we had a good meal or even enjoyed dinner, the bill was placed in front of us without any smile/attention, still waiting to get a Thank You or even a...

My partner and I were up for a little adventure and wanted to try the flying fox that we'd heard about. It was expertly cooked in a sluther of sauce, and only a little gamy, we sure enjoyed it! We even came back to taste the more traditional items on the menu for our last night in Vanuatu. We thought... More
