Lovely little cafe down on the waterfront. Freshly made juices, meals, salads & pizzas all home style & yummy. Happy to accommodate vegetarians by adjusting ingredients, serve nice coffee with soy milk option. Very reasonably priced. They hold moonlight cinema some nights too which is enjoyable.

I visit Vanuatu a lot and I do like this place but it could be so much better. The menu is basic and most people order pizzas, and as they have been doing it for years so it shouldn't be hard to get it right. The service is usually acceptable but the last time we were there half of our... More

I love this cafe ! The food is great and well priced. You have to have the Coconut Cooldown smoothie !! Great place to relax and enjoy the views. Really enjoyed the Shaslik .. had both the beef and the chicken ... having wifi was an added bonus.

We went here 3 times during our stay, the BLT and Croque Monsieur were great, so was the Mocha (using Tanna Coffee). Would spend an average of $2000-2600 for 2 breakfasts + 2 drinks each morning. Much cheaper than hotel breakfasts, plus it has free internet, outdoor movie nights, and a nice atmosphere right next to the markets.

The movie night is great on Sundays, the pizzas are yummy, but the service is slow even by Vanuatu standards.... took the entire movie until we got our pizza.... don't come hungry. Prices are a bit higher than other places.
