Fodor's Expert Review L'Houstalet Restaurant

Sitting atop a hill on the Erakor Island side of town, this long-established restaurant is French, fun, and little bit quirky. All the island's favorites, from the flying fox to the wild pigeon, are on the menu along with yummy omelets stuffed with lobster. There's escargot with hot garlic butter for the Francophiles, and three big lobster tails in mornay sauce for seafood fans. If you want to attract attention, go for the chevrettes flambés (flaming prawns), or sit quietly with an excellent steak, and round off with delectable éclairs. Prices are reasonable and a carafe of wine is just 500 vatu.
