Great Cafe in Noumea. Lemon Bay serves very good food & coffee. Service is great - friendly despite the large crowd. Michael, owner of the bar, explained to us the local food culture- the reason for us to raw fish dish. Great tasty foods and superb experience.

Lemon Bay Cafe is our absolute favourite place for breakfast/ lunch in the city ! Not only food is just delicious with multiple vegan and vegetarian options but the cherry on the top isn’t outstanding and super friendly service. Everything is just perfect! Food is fresh and healthy. My favourite was Yogi Smoothie Bowl with banana and granola and grilled almonds ! Just heaven ! Juices and Smoothies are also yummy - Banana Chai Shake or Dirty version with espresso shot is not to be missed! Coffee blend is just delicious and there are multiple vegan milk options to chose from. Finally if you want to go for it a carrot cake is absolute sensational! We are only sorry our holidays are over, but this place is certainly one of main reasons to come back again ! Keep up the great work!

Melbourne quality brunch on a lovely promenade. Great coffee (with oat milk) and great atmosphere - clearly a favourite with the locals. And thanks Michael for all your travel tips!
