Friends Cafe
A popular café in a historic colonial-era building downtown, serving all-day breakfasts and home-style mains. It is a favorite meeting point for travelers in Nuku'alofa.
Located at the intersection of Taufa'ahau Road and Salote Road, inside an old colonial-style building that doubles as a tourist information center. On TripAdvisor it has far more reviews than any other place in Nuku'alofa. The menu centers on all-day breakfasts, soups and main dishes. The caramel banana breakfast, coconut lemongrass soup, slow-roasted pork ribs and tiramisu are often recommended, and there are cakes and ice cream too. The bright interior makes it a good place to rest after exploring downtown. Reservations are usually not needed. Mid-range prices, walkable from downtown.
Opening hours
