If you're planning a trip to Port Vila, Vanuatu, and want to experience the authentic taste of local cuisine, there’s one street vendor you absolutely can’t miss: Rosie’s Tuluk.
Renowned for her delicious Tuluk, Rosie offers a unique culinary delight that captures the essence of Vanuatu’s vibrant food culture. Here’s why you need to get to Rosie’s stall and what makes her Tuluk so special.
A Taste of Tradition: What is Tuluk?
Tuluk is a traditional Vanuatu dish made from grated cassava, a root vegetable native to the Pacific Islands. Rosie’s Tuluk is particularly beloved for its rich, authentic taste and the skillful way she prepares it. Rosie makes a beef savoury tuluk that you must try, the Vanuatu version of a meat pie!
Why Rosie’s Tuluk Stands Out
Authenticity: Rosie has mastered the art of making Tuluk, keeping traditional recipes alive and offering an authentic taste of Vanuatu, and each bite is a delicious connection to local culture.
Freshness: Rosie’s Tuluk is always made fresh, using locally sourced ingredients. The quality and flavor make it a must-try for anyone visiting Port Vila.
Limited Availability: Rosie’s Tuluk isn’t just any street food—it’s a special treat you can only enjoy on certain days. Rosie’s stall is open on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday mornings - so which such limited availability it's first in first served. We can help you plan a visit to Rosie's and secure your order for your family & friends when you are a guest of Nakatumble.
Where to Find Her: Rosie’s stall is conveniently located 10 min from town on the way to Mele opposite the entrance to Port Vila Golf course!
What to Expect: When you arrive, you’ll find Rosie’s friendly smile and the irresistible aroma of freshly cooked Tuluk stored in her cooler. Be prepared to wait as there is likely a local getting their morning fix too, as locals and visitors flock to enjoy her delicious offerings.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
Trying Rosie’s Tuluk is more than just tasting a local dish—it’s an opportunity to experience a slice of Vanuatu’s vibrant street food scene. Her Tuluk embodies the warmth and hospitality of the island, offering an authentic taste that’s both satisfying and memorable.
Rosie’s Tuluk is a local favorite, and her stall can get quite busy. To ensure you don’t miss out, make a plan to visit early on one of the designated days.
When staying at Nakatumble, you also have the exclusive opportunity to book and watch how Rosie and her family prepare the Tuluk, but we do need to book this in advance so let us know if this appeals to you and your family and we will make the arrangements.
