In Nouméa, the mix of French culture and local traditions, boosted by influences from nearby countries such as Australia and New Zealand, creates a cosmopolitan food scene. French, Asian, Italian, or brasserie-style food, there’s something for everyone! This variety shows in the city’s more than 200 restaurants, which do more than tempt the taste buds. The restaurants in New Caledonia’s largest city also offer a variety of dining experiences. Imagine enjoying a meal with friends on floating pontoons in the open sea, just 7 minutes from Nouméa, or with the whole family in restaurants on stilts overlooking the lagoon. For those who prefer to stay on land, no worries! New Caledonia’s capital is packed with spots that mix international and local cuisine. And for a quick bite, check out the food trucks, those mobile eateries serving a variety of local and international dishes in a laid-back atmosphere.
