# Tonga and prices? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
fiefolau 18:47 UTC 15 Jan 2008 | I wil be going back to tonga in July and August and would like to know about the price level is like at the moment. I haven't been there for a while and what with all the trouble I guess the prices have gone up considerably. What's the average prices of breakfast, lunch and dinner in the cafes and restaurants of Nuku'alofa? |
island_dreemer 08:01 UTC 29 Jan 2008 | Hi, I have been to Tonga about 5 times in the last year and I have to say that the prices only went up at Christmas. Which is usual due to so many families returning for the season. Breakfast is $5-15 (cooked) Lunches $15-$25 Dinner $15-$50 Breakfast-Friends Cafe, Reef Cafe. Lunch- Friends, Reef, Billfish Dinner- Billfish, Friends, Reef Dateline Hotel and new favorite Fiesta Seafood Restaurant-So reasonably priced I nearly fell off my chair! If you are travelling on a budget I highly recommend BBQ. On Hala Vuna which is main waterfront road in Nuku'alofa you will find lots of people set up with BBQ's selling a snack pack with chicken meat sausages on top of a mound of maniaoke or taro and a little bit of salad and an egg. All for $5TOP!!! Hope this helps! ID | 1
