Cafe Vila

We had most of our meals at Cafe Vila with breakfast included in the holiday we purchased. Cafe Vila provided many meal choices. The staff were great, special mention to Elizabeth, Sarah and Cooksley who made us feel very welcome.

Amazing dinner experience.
The food was delicious. I was there for happy hour and it was a very good deal. Their special menu was delicious

Anna my waitress was exceptional. She was very attentive to my need. And gave great advice.
I wanted to go back to my hotel by foot but it was very dark so she called me a cab as I did not have a phone and made sure I was looked after and gone safely home.

I found myself here when Air Vanuatu cancelled our flight to Tanna at the last minute. We needed somewhere to stay throughout the four night delay, and this restaurant was at the resort. What a fortuitous thing that was! I was chuffed to eat simboro (2950VT) after watching Robert Oliver speak of it so reverently on Pacific Island Food Revolution this season. So great to see Ni-Vanuatu food on restaurant menus, and this dish, which is available in chicken or fish (poulet), definitely delivered half-quarter-quarter. I also enjoyed poulet ceviche, and a dessert of cooked plantain stuffed with freshly grated coconut.

As I was so impressed by the simboro, I went back solo to try another dish: a seafood salade niçoise (2950VT). Again it made the most of island produce, like excellent snake beans, tomatoes and watercress, teaming them with wedges of boiled potato, salad greens, black olives, boiled eggs and strands of sweet red onions. The seafood component sat on vibrant beetroot purée: two generous pieces of pan-seared poulet, two king prawns and two tenderly handled scallops.

Breakfast has also been well executed and interesting across two mornings so far. Also love the charming staff, and Ginger, the delicately proportioned restaurant cat.

Great place in Port Vila, around 15 minutes from town, we went for breakfast, good variety of food and coffee was also ok
The service was very good and the staff are friendly and professional

Although it took over an hour for our fillet steaks to arrive the bottle of French Pinot noir was a perfect choice. At over 11,000 Vatu it was expensive but delicious. We considered it our donation to a great recovery from cyclones Judy & Kevin after the Covid global pandemic. Well done to the friendly staff - they even helped us find a taxi to return to our accommodation. Highly recommended. Beautiful ambience. A memorable evening.

Ridiculously over priced. Like meals ranging from $25 aud and up. The meals arent that big. The cocktails are expensive as well almost $20 -30 aud. The staff are amazing and the food tastes good. That's about it.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

ABSOLUTE RIP OFF

I was served 4 marinated bones allegedly passable as ribs and then went on to be charges a mains price for an entree. (2400 instead of 1300)

I would give 0 stars if possible. The only positive is it did not make me sick but I guess you usually need to eat something to have such an effect.

Would not recommend to an enemy.

The most welcoming cafe with so much great fresh food. The service is beyound compare. The most friendly staff i have ever met. Would definately recommend a visit here. I Loved the whole complex.

Overpriced yet underwhelming food. Portion sizes were ridiculous, I.e 3 small pieces of calamari for about $20 AU. The crab we ordered was far from fresh and when we asked for the chef to taste it they responded that “that’s just how it is”. Would not recommend to travellers

It's a lovely place. Definitely for tourists ($$)
Staff is very friendly. Food is absolutely to die for

Couldn't complain about the service because there wasn't any
Had to finally get own menu's then go and ask for someone to take our order. Wine came as we finished our dinner after requesting it 3 times. Sad to say we won't be going back.

Decided to have dinner here as it looked really inviting from the road. The restaurant layout is great, open-air dining. Several options on the menu as there is a regular menu and then the specials as well, relatively expensive but that is everywhere in Vila. Service was super friendly and really quick to take orders. The meals were presented well when they came out and the flavours were great. Two of our group loved their meals but we also ordered two of the specials which were mahi-mahi in coconut but unfortunately the fish was really dry and the meal needed seasoning. We also had dessert which was just okay, the mango cheesecake was a bit bland.

We stopped here for breakfast. Lovely location, friendly staff and a good selection on there menu. The special board looks good too. We enjoyed our breakfast and smoothies.

Breakfast lunch or dinner always a great feed and the service is exceptional. We took the kids on Friday night for Mexican night which is good value and a relaxed atmosphere.

Very good food, a bit pricey but best food we had on the island. We stayed at this resort so late here often. We loved the lamb shank and pork belly. Good breakfast too. Most of the staff was excellent and friendly. Our last day - the staff were all trainees so service was slow and we kept having to ask for our drinks but other than that, I would recommend.

Excellent place tranquil atmosphere amazing service by great staff. Good menu selection

The food here is fairly good and the coffee is great. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. In would recommend they put a little more thought in to the way they write their signs.

Amazing resort, beautiful location, quiet and secluded. We practically got the place to ourselves. The staff are so friendly and always smiling. Delicious food all the time!

Great food, good service, well priced. We had a relaxed lunch at Cafe Vila and really enjoyed the casual atmosphere.

The food was okay but underwhelming. The waiter was very friendly and lovely and gave some balance to the evening.
