Lapita Café

Lapita Café Welcome to Lapita! We saw a need for value added food products made from local island ingredients.

Our business/ Lapita champions in utilising Vanuatu local foods in its processed foods by purchasing fresh ingredients from rural farmers and cooking these delicious snacks and wild nuts in its boutique kitchen for health conscious consumers. We are passionate about our venture, a boutique family-owned business in Vanuatu that started our as a casual eatry specialising in local food in 1999. In th

e course of running Lapita (which caught the attention of travel guide book and also Lapita contributed to the Me'akai: The Food and Flavours of the South Pacific's Cook Book which won the "World's Best Cook Book for 2010). Today,our bustling kitchen is doing just that- finding new uses for traditional ni Vanuatu produce and in turn, fostering a positive economic change. Purchasing a product from Lapita contributes to Vanuatu's grass roots farmers and communities.
