The trio is part of 16 tourists who are having lunch at the market
In Port Vila, there's nothing quite like that: sitting at a table, gently lapping against the seawall against the calm waters, enjoying a delicious lunch.
This promise was made by Sacha Watt, the waterfront restaurant manager at Port Vila Market.
"There's no place like it. This is a haven for our foreign guests, who may come from a world of skyscrapers and dark skies. He said.
He is inviting adventurers from Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and beyond to sample delicious menus from local chefs.
The advantage of the chef's compartment here is that the green vegetable market is only a few meters away, and guests only need to ask them what they want to eat, and the chef will cook the dishes they want to eat.
The marketing manager wanted to reassure all foreign visitors to the market restaurant that it had some of the best and most experienced chefs who had cooked in prestigious hotels and restaurants in Port Vila before the pandemic affected Vanuatu.
"The advantage of coming to town from the hotel and eating at the market is that a plate of hearty tender steaks or fish and all the other popular foods costs 1,000 watts, which is 50 percent cheaper than the same order in a restaurant," Watt said. ”
"An added bonus of eating here is that all meat, vegetable and root crops are organic. Our farmers rely on naturally fertile soil to produce healthy, fresh produce. ”
While tourists are returning with the lifting of the lockdown on July 1, hotels and restaurants are reopening. Another benefit of eating at the market, the manager said, was the opportunity to enjoy the sea views of Port Vila.
"Book a table here, kill two birds with one stone, and there's no better place to enjoy the natural beauty of the harbour," Watt said. ”
"In addition, eating here is in line with the policy of the Municipality of Port Vila that chefs provide local food to reduce noncommunicable diseases."
Another benefit is that every day all the chefs buy vegetables from the vendors in the market.

"More and more local business owners are stopping by the waterfront for a coffee or a hearty breakfast and leaving them with great reviews for the service our chefs provide." Watt continued.
"Our chef offers a colourful and engaging menu for breakfast and lunch. The chef provides a satisfactory service, leaving all customers with the urge to eat again when they leave the table, as their consumption is worth their meal. ”
Asked if the chef would return to the hotel to cook, the manager replied: "It's clear that our chefs are making an impact on the hospitality industry in Port Vila. As a result, they seem determined to start their own business with us in the market. I wish them all the best and continue to serve these delicacies to attract our visitors to Port Vila again. ”
One of the most popular compartments belongs to Thacao and his wife, whose recipe with tapioca rolls makes them their own. Made from grated tapioca and rolled with sliced beef, chicken or fish, once two slices are on the plate, your appetite will prompt you to eat satisfactorily.

"Delicious, so satisfying," one guest said as he took one last bite. "I'm happy to get all the positive reviews from our customers. As we continue to work to improve our services, we welcome all the comments that will help us improve our service levels. The manager said.
"Our chefs offer a variety of cooking recipes, from frying, boiling, roasting and steaming to coconut milk. All you have to do is ask for it and we'll provide it to you. Even vegetarians have their recipes. ”
A total of 16 tourists visited Port Vila with 6 children last week. A group of them caught up with me at the restaurant.
Asked if it was their first visit to Port Vila, they replied: "Yes, we have been to Fiji three times, but this is our first time here.
"It was great, we loved it here, that's why we ordered lunch and sat by the sea and enjoyed our lunch and the view of the harbour."
