    This is the most upscale restaurant in town . Its run by a german couple and they have a lovely menu . The service is perfect and so is the ambiance with candelight and all.

    Even though we have the worlds best lobster here in Nova Scotia , I had to try it . It was very nice too served hot with melted butter.Yum.

    It is a little expensive here though.. at least by Tongan standards.

    The setting couldn't be more beautiful ...overlooking crystal clear tourqoise waters and white sand. However the food was a bit disappointing . The servings were small and expensive. We had a choice of stirfry or fish and chips for lunch. We wondered if we were staying here how boring the food would be and if we'd be hungry.

    This is a strangely grand sort of Hotel with a huge (empty ) lobby. Lots of marble . The food was very good , but the service was a bit mised up . They didn't seem to understand that there is an order that food is ususally served. As soon as a dish was ready it was delivered. We had the fish before the soup!! Oh well it was all good and very inexpensive. The most important thing is they were open on Sunday!

    This was our favorite restaurant. The seafood was great and you can eat outside on the Verandah. The food is really inexpensive and the servings are big.

    They have a nice variety of wine an you can buy it by the glass.

    We enjoyed the snapper cooked in parchment paper.

    When we went on our day trip to Pangaimotu Island Resort we enjoyed sitting in their restaurant munching on some excellent burgers and enjoying the view. The beer was pretty good too . Its a really laid back kind of place and lends itself well to for relaxing! The owners are you wait staff and they are super friendly!

    This is a popular gathering place for the few tourists that are in town . You can sit and have a greta coffee and the sandwiches are really good too . We were disappointed to find it closed like most other places on Sunday

    Any restaurants on Vuna Rd., which runs along the ocean front, are excellent. But try some local fare downtown in Nuku'alofa. Especially the Chinese!
    Prices at restaurants on the ocean front are a bit more expensive. There are some restaurants that will have a buffet of traditional Tongan food with Tongan cultural dancing. Great fun!

    The fish is always good and fresh everyday! Tuna abounds as does clams. The Chinese restaurants in town are a nice change. Stay clear of the road side Bar-B-Q's. The meat sits out for a long time. O.K. for Tongan stomachs, but hard on the rest of the worlds!

    • There is only one restaurant in all of Ha'apai and that is Mariners Cafe in Pangai, but most of the guesthouses will prepare a real Tongan dinner if you advise them early enough. So go in the afternoon and arrange a dinner for later at night.
    This place is known as Fonongava'inga Guesthouse in the Lonley Planet, and the food is amazing. Go with an appetitie and you won't be disappointed. Mrs Langilangi is a gem.

    The fish cooked in coconut cream and cheese sauce... oh my god - simply delicious!
    (the Taro chips weren't bad either)

    • Ok - it's expensive for the average backpacker, but you've got to go there once while in Nuku'alofa. The food is absolutely delicious. The courgettes cooked in olive oil were simply divine!

    The Salmon Steak -with vegetables.
