# Best Restaurant for Vanuatu Steak? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu
travelin_george 10:49 UTC 21 Sep 2008 | Heading to Vanuatu next week and I'm looking forward to the trip. I've read in the LP Vanuatu book that they have one of the best steaks because of the natural feed their cows eat. Any recommendation as to which restaurant has the tastiest steak dish? Thanks! =) |

It is a nice place to hang out anyway, since it is on the water and attracts tourists, yachties, and also lots of local expats. The food is good, the staff is really nice, they have live music, all the seating is outside or open to the outside. Oh, and their coconut cake is amazing. Be sure not to miss that. It is in Vila as you head up the hill to towards the cultural center/ Pango village. | 1

darmoose 20:01 UTC 25 Sep 2008 | Yeah, it is likely called the Waterfront Grill. It is down a sloped parking lot off the main road next to a dive shop. I am pretty sure if you just tell the bus driver that you want to go to the Waterfront- or the waterfron restaraunt- that you will end up in the right spot. Don't forget the coconut cake. You do know about Vila's amazing "bus" system, right? 100 vatu (at least it was last time I was there in 2005) on any minivan type thing marked with a B on the tags will drop you wherever you want to go in Vila. Have a blast! I am so homesick for Vanuatu.... | 5
