Going here for dinner made me a bit disappointed that we didn't stay at the resort. It was beautiful and the staff were amazing! Our meals were so yummy and professionally presented. You won't regret dinner here :)

We visit Mangoes Resort in Pt Vila every year and particularly enjoy their fine restaurant. We were sad last year to hear the bartender Richard was leaving to take a position as a bartender on a cruse ship. To our surprise he is back making the specialty daily cocktails which is a hi lite before enjoying their fine menu. Richard... More

Great restaurant, great food and terrific staff. Its a bit out of the way but worth the trip. In my experience the service is outstanding and I find some other reviews on this a bit hard to understand as we have eaten there probably 10 times over the last 3 years and never had an issue. Recommend highly and good... More

We had a fantastic dinner at Mangoes. Service was great and food was some of the best we had in Port Vila. They also allow BYO wine, with a small corkage fee. The sevrvice seemed a lot more professional than other places in Port Vila, which is appreciated when you are paying higher end prices. We thought Mangoes was still... More

The excellent management & staff were unique to none at Mangoes. Richard, Nick,Willie would always remember who we were what room we were in & what we would like to drink. Their friendly but professional manner was superb. I wish they could come to Australia & teach a few Australians about hospitality. The food was out of this world. The... More

Very nice setting, we very given the food & drinks menus I ordered the coconut fish curry (the best choice) and husband ordered the twice cooked pork belly (very dry and like shoe leather). We also ordered a glass of wine each from the smaller drinks menu each glass as per the menu was 450vt. Half way thru the meal... More

A bit off the beaten track, on the lagoon side of Vila, this is one of the most elegant and atmospheric restaurants in town, perhaps a bit too atmospheric. Not many people seem to know it, judging by the hordes of tourists who queue up at the loud and over-rated Waterfront Bar and Grill while this low-key and tasteful place... More

people have always suggested that I go to Mangoes when ever I am in town, unfortunately it was not the best experience I have had in Port Vila. The service was very slow, the staff were friendly but seemed to be happy to chat to each other than provide service. The food was good but very expensive.
