Mango Cafe

Come and visit us for lunch, dinner or sunset drinks on the waterfront in Neiafu on the island of Vava'u in the Kingdom of Tonga.

Reviewed By Palitoscuba

Went there a couple of times while my week in Tonga, and everybody had the same feelings . The only very good thing is the position, right on the dock with a stunning sunset view . That is it.
Food is more expensive than other places nearby and tastes way worst . Portions are also smaller.
But the worst thing is the staff: those ladies are so rude you just wanna stand up and change place . Which I have done during my last visit.
It is surprisingly on an island where everybody is so smiling and welcoming and warm hearted .

Little Italy Hotel

Little Italy Restaurant opened its door to the community of Tonga in 1996 in a beautiful traditional Tongan Fale(House). However, now with a 22 rooms hotel attached to the restaurant, walking distance from the original location. For over a decade, Little Italy Restaurant has prided itself as one of Tonga's finer restaurants, offers authentic Italian food with a variety of pizzas handmade and baked in the traditional Italian way. There are many different types of pastas available, which are cooked to perfection and complemented with a sauce of your choice. The Italian wine selection is the best you can get here in Tonga, in addition our Chef has chosen and created some specialties with beef fillet steak, lobster, fish and poultry. We try our best to accommodate any dietary requests or restrictions whenever possible. Restaurant is open 6 days a week for breakfast and dinner. Sunday we are closed to the public, but open for dinner to all of our house guests exclusively. Come visit us today, whether for a a Birthday Party, Anniversary, Graduation or just a special event to get intimate with a few good friends or family. The combination of good food, an Italian selection of superb wines and a warm and inviting atmosphere means you can't possibly be anywhere else but at Little Italy Restaurant. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon.

One of the few places to dress in smart casual clothes to dinner, the lasagne my wife had was one of the best she's tasted, my fettuccine was nice too but lacking the chicken that was in the description, nice wine , good ambiance once some noisy kids disappeared, to top it off a nice piece of birthday cake compliments of the celebrating on the next table, great place for families ( with well behaved kids).

We visited Billfish three times & every time we received amazing service. Twice for drinks, once for dinner. For dinner, we shared the Tempura Tuna - it's delicious. For mains, I had the fish burger & my husband had the Jucie Lucie. Both were awesome. And the bill? We were there for Happy Hour. 4 spirits each, shared entree & 2 mains. $82. Total bargain. Plus the atmosphere is great. This is a GREAT place.

A charmingly cool respite from the sticky hot weather. Comfortable Seating and very spacious. The food and drinks are well prepared and excellently presented. The menu should satisfy most peoples needs as there are plenty of options.

Reviewed By tropicgirl39 - Sydney, Australia

The staff here were very helpful and really went that extra mile to help visitors even making multiple phone calls to track down a tuk-tuk driver.
There were numerous items for sale including some packets of amazing coffee.
The food was pretty good and the menu was varied with lots of choices. The coffee was outstanding.

Aquarium Cafe

The Aquarium Café, on the Neiafu waterfront, serves yummy breakfasts, satisfying lunches and fantastic dinners. We have great tapas, daily specials and a nice selection of wines. Happy hour is from 5 to 7pm with drink specials, fabulous sunsets and free popcorn. It’s a great time to meet new people and share your adventures. Internet use is free while you eat and drink at the café and we also have moorings for rent.

This was our favorite restaurant in the area. Wifi was universally lousy in town except for the paid wifi at the Aquarium, which was excellent, and the Tropicana Cafe. A perfect spot for sunset!

Seaview Lodge

Hi there, I would love to review this restaurant, however its only listed on your site as a hotel and not restaurant, and as we didn't stay there didn't feel right in reviewing it as such. Hope you can help, cheers.

Reviewed By Christian L

We stayed in the hotel for one night and had dinner that exceeded our expectations. Neither my girlfriend nor me had had such a delicious dinner in months, maybe in a year.
A couple of days later, we learned from another couple that the small - but outstanding - menu changes once a week only, which you might take into consideration when you stay more than two or three nights.
But if you are staying just one night - or actually are not staying in the hotel at all and just have dinner - this is a restaurant I can and will highly recommend. I am sure, this would be top rated amongst the best restaurants in Europe.

Reviewed By Tykedownunder - Auckland, New Zealand

Recommended by another local restaurant we were warmly greeted by friendly staff at this busy restaurant. The concise though adequate menu offered an interesting selection of dishes, for madam scallops followed by steak with mustard sauce, for me sashimi followed by steak with mushroom sauce. All dishes were well presented, nicely cooked and tasty. The one comment was that the portion sizes were huge. The sashimi consisted of at least 10 slices of thickly cut tuna, 3 were adequate as an entree, the steaks were at least 325g if not more! All washed down with a bottle of Villa Maria cab merlot.
