I was amazed at the sheer variety of fresh produce available here when compared to other South Pacific destinations.

This is where it all happens in Port Vila and you can feel the busy atmosphere while walking around. Everything is crammed in and there is fruit that I have never seen before here.

On our first visit to Vanuatu in 2010, we saw some tourists eating at the market, so thought we’d have one go – we enjoyed it and feed the family for 1200 vatu. In 2011, having 4 nights in Port Vila before heading north, we ate many times at the market. We chose to eat only hot food (not the... More
