  2. Lae Yacht Club

    The airy, informal 'Yachty' is in a prime position on the harbour and is good for both drinking and eating. Its Tuesday and Friday night barbecues are excellent value (your choice of steak plus chips and myriad salads). The clientele is largely (but not solely) drawn from the dwindling expat community. It's a great place to meet people even if at times the conversation can seem rather divorced from PNG realities.

  3. Luluai's Italian Restaurant

    Possibly the best pizzas in PNG. Can't say the same for the pasta. The menu is also shared with the Kokomo Coffee Shop next door, which makes the cakes they both serve.

  5. Stargate Food Bar

    One of the more popular kai bars (cheap takeaway food bar) around town with a few tables and chairs. A greasy plate of kaukau (sweet potato), aibika (greens) creamed with coconut and chicken comes heaped with a lot of local conversation.

  7. Vanda Restaurant

    A classy seafood buffet is served on Friday evenings and an equally scrumptious brunch buffet ( to ) on Sunday. Otherwise the mix of well-prepared international dishes includes crocodile satay, Mt Wilhelm trout and white-chocolate cheesecake.
