Great food, service and staff. We had a ball and the wait staff danced and sang for us. The location is overlooking the harbour in Neiafu and provides a lovely sunset.

The food quality and preparation was excellent. We enjoyed two meals there during our time in Vava'u. Most impressive was the local entertainment, both the music and the dancing. Lovely views over the harbour at sunset. We wish the new proprietors all the best with their exciting new endeavour.

Mango cafe has the most perfect view but when I came to eat here for the first time I was disappointed . The food was very pricey for the portion size and we waited either just under or just over an hour for our food . The food when delivered was very yummy though . It took them 20 minutes... More

Beautiful location on at the marina. An excellent spot to sit and watch the world go by. The food was delicious and fresh. We went back to the Tongan feast and thoroughly enjoyed the whole expirience. The dancing and singing were fantastic as, once again, was the food. A must do in Vava'u.

If you are looking for a night out with superb food and a great location visit Mango Cafe. It is really a fine dining restaurant and by far had the best food in Neiafu. We had the Cajun fish special and a curry just great. Location right by the water is also magic. We also had deserts and again the... More

The Tempura Tuna Roll, ask for it to be cooked RARE, is to die for. One of THE best dishes I have ever enjoyed. Choose is as your entree and the Ota Ika (entree size) as you main course.

Right on the water - beautiful ambiance! Daily specials add to the menu food is well presented BUT everything either battered or is deep fried! Nothing much on the menu that is healthy to choose from. Food is overpriced. Some of the staff are a bit serious and some are friendly and efficient. Music not always everyone's taste - too... More

This was great, local kids sung and danced collecting money for their education. The food was great and the setting overlooking the harbour is great.
