Restaurants in East New Britain Province

  1. A

    Haus Win

    Top marks for this oasis which is part of Kokopo Beach Hotel. High-quality Chinese and Western cooking, a good selection of Australian tipples and a switched-on ambience ensure plenty of regular customers among the expat community and local glitterati. There are many highlights, including a copious chow mein, prawn cutlets, Chinese omelette and a few vegetarian options.

    One downside: most desserts on the menu, including a tempting sago pudding, were not available the day we ate there - so frustrating.The dining area, designed with local materials, proffers lovely views over the bay.

  2. Phoenix Room

    When it comes to Asian cooking, chef Solis knows his stuff. Chinese specialities are served with absolute proficiency - the fluffiest foo yongs (omelette) in PNG, guaranteed! The sweet-and-sour pork is another hot favourite. Western dishes, such as pork chops or beef stroganoff, also feature on the menu. There are a good choice of vegetarian options too; rare in PNG.

    If the service is longish, you can always gaze at some risqué oriental paintings on the walls or at the huge tabu (sacred) wheel hanging from the ceilings.

  3. Steak House

    Carnivores, rejoice: this well-regarded eatery located at Queen Emma Lodge brims with deliciously prepared rump, eye fillet, T-Bone and sirloin steaks. If you've had your fill of animal proteins, pizzas are also available. Lunch is easier on the wallet (and on the stomach), when fish and chips, and sandwiches are on offer. The décor, enlivened with wooden floor and artefacts, creates a mildly exotic atmosphere that encourages a long, relaxed dinner.

    Chopsticks Restaurant

    This place just defies logic. We still can't figure out why it has the same menu (and same prices) as the stylish Haus Win (same management). The décor is far more appealing at the Haus Win and transfers are free, so there's no point eating here. Please change the marketing director!

    Chinese Restaurant

    Not really a place to lift your spirits. The building is depressing, the dining room is oppressing (think bare, peeling walls and neon lighting) and the Chinese specialities are just average, judging by the braised chicken. But it's the only independent restaurant in town.

    Queen Emma Restaurant

    Don't let the swinging '70s frilly curtains and neon lighting bring you down. This good honest restaurant serves good honest meals. If you need to assuage carnivorous cravings, try the well-presented and tasty black pepper steak.

    Supa Bake Kai Bar

    Fill your grumbling tummy without battering the wallet in this buzzing joint. It has a wide array of chicken and beef dishes, as well as burgers and sandwiches.

    Rabaul Bakery

    The place to head to in case of hypoglycaemia, although you have to get your timing right (early morning) to find pastries.
