What’s on the Menu? Island Dining at Our Restaurant & Bar

Whats-on-the-Menu

Coral Quays Resort’s Restaurant & Bar in Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu serves fresh local seafood, island-inspired dishes, and international favourites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, alongside cocktails and cold drinks, all in a relaxed open-air garden setting overlooking the tropical grounds.

If you’re planning a stay in Luganville, Espiritu Santo, one question comes up almost as often as “which room should I book”: what’s actually on the menu? At Coral Quays Resort, the answer is simple. Fresh, local, and made to be enjoyed slowly, the way island dining should be.

A Restaurant Built Around Local Flavour

Coral Quays Resort’s kitchen works closely with local suppliers to bring fresh, seasonal produce and the catch of the day straight to the table. Rather than a fixed, generic hotel menu, the focus is on dishes that reflect the true flavours of the South Pacific, prepared simply so the quality of the ingredients speaks for itself.

Guests can expect a mix of:

  • Fresh seafood, sourced daily and served with island sides
  • Locally inspired dishes using Vanuatu produce
  • International favourites for guests who want something familiar
  • A relaxed breakfast, including a half-price breakfast rate for resort guests

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, Island Style

Whether you’re fuelling up before a day of diving and tours, or winding down after one, the restaurant covers all three meals in a laid-back, open-air setting:

Breakfast sets a relaxed tone for the day, with resort guests enjoying a discounted rate as part of their stay.

Lunch is easy and casual, ideal for guests coming back from the beach, a snorkelling trip, or a morning exploring Luganville.

Dinner is where the island atmosphere really comes through, with guests dining under the stars surrounded by tropical gardens and gentle sea breezes.

Sip and Unwind at the Resort Bar

As the sun sets, the bar becomes the natural gathering spot at Coral Quays Resort. Guests can enjoy an ice-cold beer, a glass of wine, a classic cocktail, or a refreshing fruit punch while taking in the garden views. The team is always happy to recommend a local favourite, whether you’re settling in for a quiet drink or a long evening with friends.

Outdoor Dining Under the Stars

One of the most loved parts of dining at Coral Quays Resort is the setting itself. The open-air dining area, framed by lush tropical gardens, gives every meal a genuine island feel that’s hard to recreate indoors. It’s a big reason guests consistently mention the restaurant when describing what made their stay memorable.

Great for Groups and Special Occasions

The restaurant isn’t just for individual travellers and couples. Coral Quays Resort regularly hosts birthdays, family gatherings, and work trips, with the team on hand to help plan a menu that works for the whole table. If you’re travelling with a group or celebrating something special during your stay, it’s worth mentioning when you book.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

Between the fresh seafood, the relaxed open-air setting, and a team that genuinely enjoys recommending local favourites, dining at Coral Quays Resort tends to become one of the highlights guests talk about most after their trip, right alongside the beaches and diving.
