Great southern french tapa's. You could have a main, but there is nothing like sitting on the water, and having a cocktail and nibbling on different tapa's and just being.. Food was great, so was the service and the cocktails made it three out of three...

Thoroughly enjoyable meal in this friendly mediterranean-cuisine restaurant. Superb setting (as many places in Port Vila), just a short walk from the town centre. Will certainly come back next visit to the Island.

Brilliant $10 (1000 vatu) lunches - after some really questionable food during our stay in Vanuatu - this place was great, tasty fresh food and for a fraction of the price of other places - yum!

The Bay Watch has a good set menu for lunch (1000 Vt with a variety of dishes to choose from). Later in the night it turns into a sort of a late bar with drinks and sometimes music. Nice but grumpy owner :)

The place is a bit off the main beat in Port Vila, but easily reached e.g by bus, or also by foot, if the heat and humidity dont get to you. The lunch menus are extraordinary value compared to pretty much anything else in the vicinity. You should not miss those. Coffee, however, cannot be recommended. For dinner the prices... More

The tapas here is nice, a good mix, but with a definite seafood orientation. Prices are average for Port Vila. It is on the waterfront with a lovely view, but note it is on the Mele end of town, and is a bit hidden down a long driveway. Worth the hunt though. Added bonus for me was the local kids... More

It was our second night in Vanuatu. We decided to eat at Port Vila rather than the resort. Our bus driver recommended this place. It was fantastic. Perfect setting looking out over the water with islands in the background. The food was fantastic and we had a selection of tapas. We had to wait a short while but it was... More

Lunch special and view is great. Night time is a lot more inconsistent and surprisingly pricey once all the small dishes are added up. Stick to lunch times.
