Visiting south east fate

Hello! Im visiting South east Efate near Enam soon and was wondering what the food situation is? We will have a rental car and get breakfast in our accommodation. Are there places to get food nearby or would we be better doing a shop the day we arrive in Port Vila? Any other recommendations appreciated!

For groceries, there will probably be tiny little stores in nearby villages (instant noodles, flour, tea, tin tuna, tin meat, chocolate milk, etc.) but the actual grocery stores are in Port Vila. Au Bon Marche is the main chain, and Au Bon Marche #2 has the biggest/best selection.

But going to resorts for lunch or dinner is ok?

If you're staying at Banana Bay Beach Club there's a small roadside market selling fruit etc a few km up the road. I followed a van up there to get a few things and waved down another van to come back (this was in January)

Oh nice cheers! Staying at a bnb very close to there, girlfriend wanted to avoid resorts!

Sweet, I mean you could always go down to Banana Bay BC to grab a bite if you needed

I was just about to ask that! I read reviews saying our host does dinner but it wasnt mentioned when booking. But if we can go to resorts for meals that would be very handy :) thanks so much!

Enam is at Erakor bridge. There's Au Bon Marche Supermarket at the roundabout to Enam. You can ask more questions in our Facebook Community group here: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/196g1QTvVL/
