Being attached to the Espiritu Hotel,it's convenient but the prices are comparable to Aussie dollars for incomparable food.

If you love seafood like I do, and can't wait to put your hands on a fresh lobster, mud crab, or tuna fish, or... local prawns, then this is the place to be... The Chef Hilton will only serve the freshest and best seafood in town... I always go for the Tuna sashimi, and carpaccio... But if seafood is not... More

In out 7 days stay in Santo, we went there twice as they are not very many options in Luganville. The food is well cooked and fresh with generous portions. We also think the price is reasonable for what you are getting. The only complain we have, was that the smell from the rubbish bins outside the premises was almost... More

We had a take-away to eat in the park - but the restaurant looked very pleasant. The food was excellent and service was quick and friendly. (Beer was icy cold - definite bonus!)

You don't have a lot of choices when it comes to restaurants in Luganville. Ocean King is a sort of a Chinese Restaurant, but offers Western dishes too. The service was fine, the food ok and the price reasonable.

Although known locally as 'the Chinese restaurant' we found the food a lot more varied. Ate Salt & Pepper local prawns and sizzling chilli fish with a cold Tusker beer to wash it down. Plenty of food and reasonably priced for Santo which on the whole we found similar to Sydney prices. A few earlier reviews mentioned slow service but... More

Expecting a basic Chinese menu - we were surprised with the range of dishes available on the menu. Friendly attentive staff, pleasant surroundings screened from the traffic noise....and reasonable prices - a pleasant meal out on the quiet town!
