This is a review of the restaurant that opened officially on our last day in Vanuatu (see previous post for that story).
There was a Korean restaurant here before but it shut down. A restaurant was opened again on this site (there is a hotel as well) just recently. So probably best to ignore any reviews from before May 2012.
This is the sign that we saw when driving past that sparked our curiosity.
The restaurant is situated on a hill and has a really great view.
The inside is really nice. It opens out onto a large deck where you can see those views from. A lot of care has been taken with the appearance of this restaurant. It has a good atmosphere and the staff are lovely.
There is a menu with more western style food and another menu for Asian style food. We ordered a spicy pork and rice and a bibimbap.
So how did they taste? Pretty good actually! I was curious as it’s probably more difficult to get Korean ingredients to Vanuatu – getting anything into Vanuatu is a bit difficult really. It is a tropical paradise but when you go to the grocery store anything in a packet is out of date. However, even without Korean ingredients readily available our meals were just as good as meals in Korea or Australia. The pork was delicious and the bibimbap so tasty. Even though we had a large breakfast only a short time earlier, we finished everything on our plates. It was one of the best meals we had in Vanuatu- and there are some very nice restaurants there.
What about the price? Surprisingly it was a reasonable price for Vanuatu. Eating out is expensive in Vanuatu! You can get cheap meals at the markets and local takeaway but sitting down to a meal in a restaurant will cost two or three times what you usually pay in Australia. So we were pleasantly surprised at the prices at Sky Garden.
If you are traveling to Port Vila in Vanuatu have a meal at the Sky Garden restaurant sometime. A taxi or bus driver will know if you say “Sky Garden” to them and drive you there. If you say “Korean restaurant” they may not know. It is well worth a visit.
