Efate beach

8 Isara Munasinghe

This place is absolutely stunning, and the attention to detail is remarkable. I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday lunch here, and the food surpassed all expectations. The homemade ice cream and creme brulee were truly exceptional. If you ever find yourself in Vanuatu, I highly recommend coming here for lunch. It's an unforgettable experience. The food was top-notch, deserving of a five-star rating, and the selection of beautiful wines only added to the enjoyment. Every penny we spent was well worth it.
