5th Bistro in Havelock Island offers a delightful dining experience, primarily thanks to its exceptional service.
From the moment we stepped in, the staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to ensure we had a pleasant meal. Their professionalism and warmth truly elevated the atmosphere.
However, the price point of the food and beverages is a significant consideration. While the quality of the ingredients was undeniably good, the cost felt somewhat inflated, especially considering the island's overall dining landscape.
One could argue that the ambiance and service justify the expense, but budget-conscious travelers might find it a bit steep.

It felt peaceful, unpretentious, and incredibly heartfelt. I honestly believe this is one of the most underrated gems on the island. If you are in Havelock, then it is a MUST visit to spend at least one of your evening and I am sure you won't be disappointed! Thank you, Mac—you made our night, and we’ll remember this evening for a...
