Had a great experience here. The food was beautiful. Not many dining at the time so the food came out super quick which was great. We shared an entree and quickly followed by our mains which we're delicious then we both had dessert. I had an espresso martini and it was Delicous!! Reasonably priced for such great food.

We only had breakfast because we found this on our last day. But we would definitely go back for dinner as the place is very clean, staff excellent, the menu is great and the coffee is the best in Vila

Solid without being outstanding. Was fairly quiet the night we were there and you might have thought that as a result the service may have been a bit better, there was only us and another table. Food was reasonable but the ambience and the view is very good.

We had a meal at La tentation and every time we return to Port Vila we make a bee line for the restaurant as the first port of call to fill up for the day. My suggestion to eat is the Vanuatu steak it is the best steak that i have ever tasted in Australia or the world for that... More

Thanks for the great feedback. We love having people return to La Tentation, it means we must be doing something right! The Vanuatu Beef is amazing, so we can't take all the credit. Everyone should certainly try the Vanuatu beef when they are over here. Cheers, Nathan & Mariya More

We had breakfast& was very pleased. The outlook was beautiful. When we returned for dinner we were very dissapointed. The steak was undercooked & the lobster was so overcooked. Very dissapointing meal. The staff were very nice.

We are glad to hear that you had a great breakfast. It is such a shame that you didn't address your dissatisfaction with your dinners on the night. We would have happily addressed your concerns and, if necessary, replaced your meals to ensure that your experience with us was a pleasant and memorable one. Cheers, Nathan & Mariya More

My partner and I tried many of the restaurants in Port Vila, but this one was our favorite. The food is excellent and the cocktails beautiful. The service is professional. I was very surprised when we came back and the waitress remembered what cocktail I had two days ago. If you go to Port Vila, try this restaurant out -... More

La Tentation indisputably has the best location in Port Vila!

La Tentation is situated on the waterfront at the airport end of Port Vila business area. The premises are modern and reasonably impressive.It was a quiet weekday night so the service was in keeping with the small number attending. The food was very satisfactory without being outstanding. Overall we were quite happy with our experience.

We hadn't been to LT for about 12 months and were surprised to see it a bit sad and empty to how we recall it being previously. They still do a nice coffee and cake but the menu looked a bit overpriced for steak sandwiches and hamburgers at 1650vt.

The February to early March period is our low season here in Vanuatu so unfortunately most places here are a little slower this time of year. Very shortly our beautiful island will once again be a bustling tourist destination and Port Vila will fill up very quickly. Thanks for the wonderful feedback on our fantastic coffee and cakes.
