The 23 best restaurants to have dinner in Papetoai (2024)

2 lists

This is an upscale but still casual French beachfront eatery. You should go if you enjoy champagne - they’re really big on it here as you’ll be able to tell from all the decorations. The co*cktails and food were a bit overpriced for what it was. I ordered the crispy rice sushi - the rice was soggy, not crispy, and seemed like it was cooked before hand and just sitting out. The fish on top did not seem fresh or tasty. The whole turbot, on the other hand, was quite delicious and buttery. The garlic bread was also tasty.

This is a beautiful restaurant with stunning views. The views are five stars, the food was three stars so the overall average was four. Our pitcher of mojitos was not very good, the food was just ok but you pay the prices for the ambiance. I think they really try but we were just not that impressed with the flavor of our dishes and they were not five star dishes, even though they sounded like they were on the menu.

Although the restaurant was beautiful and the service was great, the food was extremely overpriced. The quality did not match the price at all. I got the lobster Mac and cheese, which should have been a simple dish. However, much of the pasta was uncooked and crunchy, and the dish itself was quite dry and flavorless. It was similar to cheap bar food, but with unjustifiable high prices. I would recommend going to Manuia Grill instead.

I really enjoyed our meal here. There is a wide variety of unique dishes. My friends, who had dined here before cautioned that the whole lobster wasn't worth it, so we explored the menu and shared a few things.The pizza with raw tuna and wasabi was fantastic, as was the lobster bisque. The flatbread and greek salad were also really tasty. The tuna with gnocchi was a mixed execution: the gnocchi was delicious with a bit of crunchiness to it, but the tuna was overcooked.

Me and my husband both ordered pizzas. We easily could have shared one because they are massive. But they are absolutely delicious and rival even the best pizza joint in the US.The view is unrivaled, and the ambiance is relaxing and casual/upscale without hitting the wallet too hard (if you order the right things). We split a bottle of rose for about $33. Staff don't wear masks (if you care about that sort of thing).

We went for the well known Moorea sunset. The drinks were well made and refreshing. I had a mojito (or three), my companion had a variety of drinks and liked the piña colada best (made with coconut ice cream). The food was exceptional! We had a tuna and wasabi pizzette to start (the favorite eat of the meal). For entrees we enjoyed lobster dumplings in bisque and dover sole- both were very good but the pizzette stole the show.

The best pizza on the island that we had, and we had a lot over our 1 week stay. Highly, highly recommend the pizza. The Ti'Punch was strong and delicious and inexpensive; the holy trinity in my opinion. The views and atmosphere speak for themselves. The service was friendly and prompt. 5⭐️

Our evening at Moorea Beach Cafe was nothing short of magical! This charming restaurant, nestled right on the lagoon, provided the perfect backdrop for a stunning sunset. We were captivated by the beauty of the surroundings as we settled in for a delightful dining experience.The sunset menu was a true culinary delight. The tuna sashimi was incredibly fresh and flavorful, the seafood pizza was a delicious fusion of tastes from the sea, and the steak was cooked to perfection. Each dish was a masterpiece on its own, showcasing the chef’s expertise and dedication to quality ingredients.Save room for dessert because the chocolate lava cake paired with velvety vanilla ice cream was a heavenly indulgence that satisfied our sweet cravings. The combination of warm, gooey chocolate and cold, creamy ice cream was pure bliss.What truly elevated our experience was the exceptional service. The staff at Moorea Beach Cafe were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our evening was memorable. Their warm hospitality made us feel like valued guests, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal.A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable evening!

So French!! Loved this little spot, and Bruno.... Had a few bottles of wine, enjoyed the sunset and had delicious tuna tartar... Walking distance to our little house... Great time, good food, wonderful service

Came here on two separate occasions, once for standard dinner, once for the sunset menu.The staff is super patient and accommodating, offering advice when you need it, and great at making tweaks based on flavor preferences.This place isn’t cheap, but nothing in FP is, so come here ready to live lavishly and Bruno will reward you.Get the Ti-Punch carafe, as much Tuna tartare and sushi as you can stomach. Thank me later.

We decided to stop 🛑 by for the pizza 🍕! Well that and 4 beers cost 💲 90…. Kinda steep but service and view was good 👍 not a 5 star ⭐️ place for sure….

The location for this cafe is perfect and if you are looking for a great sunset spot this is it, as long as the clouds dont ruin it for you. We had a good meal here our only gripe was that the fish was way overcooked. The sauce it was in was delicious. All in all it is a good place to grab a drink, have some food and watch the sunset.

I had the most wonderful afternoon yesterday at the Moorea Beach Cafe. The pizza was delicious and they were kind enough to make me a special off-menu champagne co*cktail (a French 75). The staff were so kind and friendly & the location is fantastic! Ask to be seated in the tables where you are sat on the beach in the water.I would recommend this to anyone staying on Moorea, and are hoping to go back tonight, for the sunset. Top experience of our time in French Polynesia!

Huge portions! Delicious burgers, fries and salads:) Reservations are really necessary!

Best poutine this side of the equator!! And as a Québecoise myself, it really warmed my heart to have a such an authentic taste of back home🍁 Particularly with the shot of "Sortilège" maple whiskey, what a pleasant surprise!! Hats off to Nancy and the gang, fantastic experience all around. Gonna have to make sure I come back here any time I make it back to French Polynesia!!

An amazing experience and the feeling to be at home away from home. Special thanks to Nancy and Bruno who makes this possible. The burgers are finger licking good, the fries to die for and guys they even have Canada Dry!!!As you guess this is very popular place, best to place a reservation because it does fill up quickly. If you miss lunch, there is always dinner at 6pm! Enjoy the Quebec experience in a paradise environment!

Mo'orea's best burgers and salads. I was staying nearby, and this location was ideal for me. The price is a little high, but it is well worth it considering the portion and quality of the products used.During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant is only open a few days a week. So, if you don't want to be disappointed, check ahead of time.

This restaurant does a wonderful take on a traditional burger. I had the Quebecois burger that included lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheese, and mushrooms along with a delicious burger sauce. Everything was well seasoned, cooked to order and the staff were very kind and accommodating. The only thing to note is that they don't have more than 10-12 tables so if you don't make a reservation or go early for dinner you could be turned away. Otherwise we were very pleased with the meal, the service, and the awesome playlist on the radio 😁

Quality, price and delicious burgers were over the top. The service was stellar also! Will come back soon!

Such a great find! Delicious food and the owner is so nice! I had the double bacon cheeseburger and my friends had the fish burger. Great atmosphere, and a great way to finish the night on this beautiful island. Made this Alaska boy happy and full!

The gentleman that owns this bar and restaurant came and greeted us immediately and found us a great seat. He went over all of the specials and served us sour drinks promptly. Soon after more people came in, and the place filled up the atmosphere was comfortable and very inviting. The food was delicious and definitely worth trying.

There is a selection of exquisite food offered at this small very intimate restaurant. Of course, I had to try the crab stuffed parrot fish. It was divine! The escargot & mussels appetizers were fresh & scrumptious. We loved it so much, we went back again. We were never disappointed. The owner and waitstaff were always friendly and welcoming.

Excellent meal. I highly recommend it. The breaded trio of sea food & the parrot fish were delicious. The chocolate lava cake was very indulging. The staff were friendly & provided great customer service. They even provide a free pick & drop off service to some resorts/hotels. A must when visiting Moorea

One of the best dinners we had while visiting Moorea!We usually don't visit restaurants twice, however, we had such a great experience the first time that we had to go again. We also loved how they had free shuttles from the Hilton.From our two visits, our favorites were the tuna carpaccio, the parrot fish stuffed with crab, the prawns with garlic sauce, and the chocolate lava cake.Service was quick and timed accordingly to other patrons from our hotel, and the ambience is so cozy.We met some guests who were in town who had visited Rudy's 10 years ago and were back for more. How cool! We hope to be fortunate enough to return again someday.

Although my wife and I have visited Moorea on several occasions, we finally made it to Rudy's on our most recent visit. Based on our first dinner, we would not hesitate to come back. Making a reservation via email was easy. Food was delicious. Service was friendly and prompt. I had the stuffed parrotfish and fruit tart. Both were delicious.

This place was amazing! I overhead someone recommending it to someone else and decided to try it. Unfortunately, didn’t make it until my last day there. THIS is where the amazing food is at that apparently Tahiti is known for. We tried to try lots of foods on the island but this meal was the BEST so far! I feel like so much fish on Tahiti is either the raw stuff (fine if you’re careful but so much the same) or way over cooked. Rudy’s cooked their fish perfectly. I could eat the parrot fish every day! The lasagna, filet mignon, shrimp curry also great! My daughter had her mind set on crepes somewhere else and so we skipped dessert. That will be one of the great regrets of this vacation! Their dessert looks amazing! Make sure this stop is included in your itinerary or you have not done Mo’orea right! The photos can’t do it justice. It was an orchestra melting in my mouth. Nice atmosphere as well. Perfect for a date.

Hands down the best place to eat in Moorea! So good, we went back the next night.For appetizers, the baked mussels were scrummy.The best main dishes are definitely the Parrot Fish and the Duck. both dishes are well executed and the sauces to each are plate licking good!Great service and they come and open the door when you arrive. A must visit when staying in Moorea!

Absolutely a must visit when in Moorea, we’ve been at least 5 times now and never have had a bad meal. The staff is super friendly and they will pick you up from your hotel if you don’t have a car. Give it a try, you won’t be dissatisfied.

We had an excellent dinner in a nice Ambiente. Service is good and they offer a shuttle service from/to some hotels on the island which we gladly used. The only reason why I'm not giving a full five star review is because of the way we were complimented out of the restaurant at the end of the dinner. All over sudden we had to hurry, eat up, pay the bill and exit to wait for the shuttle to bring us back to the hotel. Other restaurants that offer a shuttle are more flexible.

Two meals here in 3 nights! Rudy is a Tahitian native, and he and his staff are wonderful hosts. From the garlic bread app to the wahoo steaks and lamb curry, we had several courses of amazing food paired with great service. And a nice wine list and co*cktail menu!

This was by far the best meal we had on the island. The stuffed parrot fish just melted in your mouth. The wahoo was amazing. Highly recommend this place while in Moorea.

Excellent experience! The fish was fresh and well prepared. We had sashimi to begin with a generous avocado slice on top. For dinner, crab stuffed parrot fish (INCREDIBLE!) and lobster with butter sauce. The staff was attentive and kind. The bartender was skilled. We will definitely be coming back!

What a charming little restaurant...the interior has a Spanish feel to it that is both cozy and intimate.Rudy was at the door to greet and invite us in. Nice fella.All of the dishes were good, but the highlight for me was the Parrot fish. I had it without the stuffed crab. This was my first time trying Parrot fish and what a treat it was. Probably the most delicate fish I eaten and the sauce it came with was the perfect match. I asked Rudy what it was and he said "secret sauce" Ha!I would rate this one of the best restaurants on the island.

I prefer to only review the best. Thus, Rudy's in Moorea. (NE) Not only can you depend on receiving excellent food, the atmosphere, the inside AC, the service are all top notch! Among our four, we had shrimp, muscles, curry lamb, and a fish much like Halibut. Top notch sauces! We also had very fine co*cktails and a bottle of sparkling water. In the background were some sweet romantic jazz and blues vocals. Rudy's is open evenings. Worth paying a little more.

Some positives: friendly staff, nice ambience (live music was lovely), tasty starters (appetizers).Items that were insanely priced were the bottled water, the co*cktails and the horrible surf and turf...Should have come for happy hour drinks ambiance and some starters.The two mains were appalling: vegetable curry was flavorless, and the lobster in the surf and turf was way overcooked: the steak flavourless.

Food was delicious and we got there in time to take advantage of the happy hour specials. Steak was perfectly done and the sides were delightful. Desert was a 10/10 and a fantastic wine list to boot. Reasonably priced given the experience and steakhouse menu.

Excellent service by this young waitress who was very polite and apologised a 100 times for the butchered steak we got. They did offer to recook the steak for us after ordering a medium and a medium rare and both receiving a steak welldone, but after the cow already had to burden the sin of his meat being cooked welldone we politely declined so it wouldnt be thrown away.Every restaurant that calls itselve a steakhouse should fire the cook who allows such fine meat being cooked welldone. Once again the service was above excellent, well done young girl.

Amazing food and lovely staff. Great to find on the island as one in our party has a seafood allergy so there were lots of options for them. The mashed potato with chorizo, Caesar salad and mac n cheese were notable mentions.

This steakhouse would easily hold its own anywhere in the world. The surprise hit was the shrimp dumpling appetizer with an excellent ginger dipping sauce, it's a must. The staff and owners are incredibly personable as well. We also came back for nightcaps every night in Moorea.

We loved this restaurant. Elevated above the main road it offers a great view looking out towards the water.The service was excellent and the food matched the service.I ordered the Holy Fine Burger. New Zealand Angus beef, fried foie Gras, smoked duck breast, pickles and fixings. Spectacular taste. And the best made frites I have ever had.My wife had the special with chicken and tarragon. Equally delicious.The staff helped us pair a great French wine with the meal.Finished with Coco Brûlée which was super.If you get a chance go and partake in this steak house experience. It will be worth your drive.

Baby back ribs were amazing. The service was also great. We ate here 3 out of 7 dinners while in Moorea so that's saying something

Ok, first things first - you should really be eating all of the fresh seafood in Mo'orea, not visiting a steakhouse. That aside, this place is pretty damn good.We came twice, first on New Years Eve and again on our last night out before heading back home. We were picked up from our bungalow both times. The steak was consistently awesome. I'll describe the rest of each experience, as they differed slightly.On NYE, our waitress was quite salesy, though good on her for working it. She definitely pressured us into a "new years special co*cktail" without mentioning a price, and we took the bait. Unfortunately, those glasses of champagne cost 2800 xpf each. She recommended a starter, which was a trio of salmon, and it was fantastic. It was huge, and neither of us really needed a main course after that, but it was delicious. Smoked salmon sliced thin alongside a salmon rilette, both topped with salmon roe, and served with grilled bread. I'd recommend this for sure, but have 3-4 people to share it with. For mains, we got a steak with seared foie gras on top (side of truffle mashed potatoes) and the seafood trio with three types of lobster (side of stir fry veggies). The steak was insane. Perfectly cooked, red in the middle, with an inch-thick slab of seared foie gras on top that absolutely melted in your mouth. It was pure decadence. The truffle mashed was over-mashed for my taste (I like some chunks of potato) but the flavors were spot on, not too much truffle, and it was a huge side. The lobster was better than I expected - perfectly cooked, buttery, and not a single bite that tasted rubbery. Came with two tails of slipper, one tail of spiny, and a tail / claw combo of your regular lobster. The slipper might have been the best of the three. The veggies were nothing special, mostly cabbage and carrots julienned in some sesame vinaigrette, but if you're looking for a healthier side option, it wasn't bad. We had a couple of martinis with our meal, way more reasonably priced than our intro co*cktail at 1400 xpf each, and overall, thought the meal was pretty incredible, though we left a hefty chunk of our wallet there.On our second visit, we took things down a notch. We had a couple of drinks at home before going over, but ordered martinis again. This time they were a bit funky... I'm not sure if they were overly vermouthed? Honestly, I thought it tasted like there was lime juice in them? Anyway, a bit funky and disappointing. Also disappointing? The parmesan salad we split to start. It sounded like a caesar, but it was more like a bowl of limp lettuce with some croutons, a little tomato, a ton of parmesan, and a side of blue cheese. I was hoping for something closer to your average steakhouse caesar, which is usually a highlight. What wasn't disappointing? Our mains. The steak was again, absolutely perfect. This time I ordered the duck, which was good, though not the best I've had. It was the right color of rare pink inside and really tender, though I was hoping for a fattier / crisper skin on the outside. I ordered mac and cheese as my side, but they were out, so they made me an au gratin instead, and I didn't miss the mac and cheese. This side was way too much for one person, and it was crispy and burnt around the edges like it should be, while soft and gooey in the middle. Don't worry, I ate every last bite.Overall, I'd recommend Holy Steak House. It was one of the best meals we had while in Mo'orea, and if you have folks in your family who aren't fans of seafood, this will be a great place to take them.

Really lovely lunch with an amazing view. We had a selection of tapas and they were all very good, the dumplings were our favorite. The profiteroles were the perfect ending.

Probably not a good choice for steak house in my opinion, the tapas portion was really small, we ordered medium for the steak but it came out well done. The second time they recooked the steak it was way too raw. You would think a steakhouse had it figured out. The fish of the day was really dry and over cooked. They made us wait 30 min for another table to finish up before they would order us a shuttle back to the hotel. Also pricey, usd 220 for 4 people we each ordered one drink .

Many menu choices from meat dishes to seafood. We had the grilled salmon with stir fry vegetables on the side and duck breast with potatoes au gratin. All perfectly prepared to our wishes and delicious. We shared a bowl of 3 tropical fruit sorbet for dessert.

Fantastic pizza! I wasn’t too sure how good the pizza would be on a little island like this, but it turned out to be amazing. We actually went back there again because we liked it so much. It was fun sitting outside on the stools at the bar, talking to all the locals and some tourists that would stop by. One pizza would feed two people easily.

This is a popular local pizza spot in Moorea. The pizza uses a giant wood fire oven to make their pizzas. They have lots of options on the menu. I tried the Moorea pizza - a white cream sauce vegetarian pizza with pineapples which was good, as well as the Margarita pizza (oddly has ham on it) - the tomato sauce was lacking and there wasn’t much flavor. Call ahead of time to pick up your order. Overall, the pizzas were a welcome change from eating hotel food, but not memorable enough to make a second trip back.

Best pizza around. This little side of the road stand was exactly what we wanted. The Hawaiian Pizza with fresh pineapples did not disappoint. We ended up taking a Armenia pizza to go for later at the hotel.

Wish I could have posted the pizza, but I was too busy eating it! Wood fire grill, fresh dough and amazing ingredients. You can dine in or do takeaway. We took pizzas back to the room and ate outside on the balcony. Try the Sofia and the Hawaiian pizza (or really any of them, because they are all good). They have drinks here as well as desserts. We tried the chocolate mousse and it was yummy.

Driving around the island and came across this awesome place! Never tried the pizza even though it felt like I should’ve ordered pizza because everyone who came after us including the locals ordered pizza but anyway, the tall stacked bacon cheeseburger and fries was delicious!

Most wonderful, unique pizza combos, homemade, and the most lovely staff. 10/10 recommend while on the island. Husband and I came back to back evenings. Great little outdoor spot with free WiFi and cold beverages!

This place is such a gem! The pizza is thin crust and hand made, then cooked in a wood fire pizza oven. The ingredients are fresh and combine wonderfully to create a perfect size pizza for 2. We also had crepes both times we visited and could not recommend them more! They are large and well made with plenty of toppings and home made whipped cream.For all the chocolate lovers - try the Nutella and banana or chocolate and banana crepe AND try the home made chocolate mousse. You won't regret it!

Amazing spot in the area to grab a delicious burger or pizza. I was a little skeptical at first but definitely add this to your dinner spot. The owners are super friendly and offer very unique pizzas. The Moo'rea pizza was delicious and the burger was huge and flavorful. Even the dessert crepes are made well!

This is a casual little place for takeout or dine in. LOVED this place. The pizza is doughy but thin crust, and the fish burger is to die for- my favorite fish burger I’ve had! And definitely enjoy a crepe to finish the meal!

amazing pizza! Their dough is really good and I loved the red sauce. People were friendly but busy, price was pretty reasonable. One pizza can easily serve 2 adults just FYI.

Great pizzas and friendly peeps. You should definitely give them a try.

Fantastic! Fun street food vibe with gorgeous mountain views and delicious pizza! Doesn’t get any better than this. Generous cheese, expansive choices, wood fired crust all add up to a must do if you want to try some local pizza.

Staying at Hilton Moorea and wanted an off property meal. Allo Pizza is located on the beautiful Cooks Bay (about 4 miles from the Hilton). Hopped on our motorcyle for the short drive. Pizza was made quickly and boxed up (pepperoni for him and Hawaiian for me). Thye have a spicy oil in packets that is pretty mild. Reasonably priced pizza. Grabbed a bottle of wine as well and ate on our over water bungalow while the sunset.

Service was impeccable. The lady that helped us was informative and spoke English very well. She went over the entire special list and offered some suggestions. We tried a few different dishes and enjoyed every bit of it.

An amazing experience from start to finish! Great food and service - don’t miss this excellent restaurant on Mo’orea!

Got the special of the day fish and it was tasty as was the sword fish. Loved that they showed a picture of the fish they’re serving.The dinner was a bit pricy even without purchasing drinks. They serve most items on skewers and include a veggie/pineapple kebab which was a nice touch.We were here after light rain in feb and the restaurant was so hot even with open air and fans. They serve the best local ice cream/sorbets on the island so we cooled down with sorbet.Recommend a reservation.

no need to read the entire review, make your reservation now!!!! Great food, wonderful local menu and delightful service. Can't thank the owners and their amazing chef enough....Josephine ....one of the best meals I have had while visiting Moorea. Make it a must on your Moorea to do list.

A must try. Delicious dishes and very reasonable prices. The poisson cru “special chef” is a must try.

This place is amazing! Not only is the food 10/10, but the atmosphere is lovely. This is a must do on your trip. The owners take great care in the quality of food they are serving you and it shows.

EXCEPTIONAL !!This restaurant is hands down the best on Moorea. The thought of the seared tuna still makes my mouth water. The staff, chef and owner are all super pleasant, professional and had a welcoming demeanor.The only down side was that they weren't open every day of the week; had that been the case, we would have dined here EVERY NIGHT. We would walk, ride our bikes or drive just to eat here and each and every time was well worth itIt's totally worth the price and I hope to be able to make it back soon so I can satisfy the crave for the delicious food of Le Lezard Jaune Cafe

We went in late October and the weather was perfectly pleasant. This was truly one of the best meals I have had period. The taro, the mahi, the sauces and the fish of the day were incredible. The service was also so kind and they were gracious with our lack of French and spoke English to us. I can’t recommend enough. Reservations needed.

Food was really tasty and the service was great. The staff was fun and they checked on us frequently to make sure things were going well. The duck was the highlight of our entrees and the ice cream was fantastic at dessert. We got the caramelized pineapple flambéed - be warned that it is VERY alcoholic so if you don’t like your dessert to taste like that I’d recommend getting it without it.

Love this place - the food was beautifully presented and equally delicious. The staff were so friendly and kind. The shuttle driver Gary was wonderful. This team went above and beyond to help us out when we ran out of gas. Highly highly recommend this place!!

Fantastic food, lovely staff, beautiful setting. We loved the cooked tuna breaded with coconut and the mahi. They had beautiful carpaccio, which I don't eat unfortunately, but I suspect that would be extremely tasty as all other diners loved it. Also good value compared to other places on the island.

This place is my favorite restaurant on Moorea. Sand floors, great food and a friendly staff. The co*cktails are big with heavy pours. The presentation and food quality is so far beyond your normal beach restaurant. Try the Mahi Mahi and treat yourself. One tip: In the off season, go right when they open and enjoy it. If it's slow, they will close early so make sure to get there right at 6.

Favorite spot for dinner! The shrimp is fresh, peeled and grilled to perfection. Super friendly and smiley staff. Tahitian bread fruit specials are delicious. The creative plating presentation is beautiful and one of a kind!

Very nice spot for dinner! The floor is sand which makes it feel very island and tropical. We ordered the garlic shrimp and coconut breaded fish and served with fresh fruit. Overall the meals were tasty. They were a little pricey for the portions of the food.

Great authentic place to grab mahi mahi, shrimp, burgers or tuna! Loved the food quality and presentation!

Got the shrimp skewer. It was great! Place also does free transfers from your hotel

Absolutely great fresh meals. Service was fantastic

Checked out this place after our recommended restaurant next door was full for the night. Decent spot, atmosphere is pretty casual with sand floors plastic chairs/table. Prices are in range with the area. Service was good and attentive.We got the Octopus in garlic sauce and the Land and Sea special. Octopus w/ sauce tasted like a solid New England clam chowder and would order again 5*. Land (steak) was okay, could use more flavor 3*. Prawns 4* and a fried tuna ball 3.5* were serviceable. Fresh fruit 5* rounded out the meal.Food presentation bumped this overall from a 3.5 to 4*, Insta worthy.

Huge servings!We had a chicken and cheese baguette each and there was enough in one serve for both of us.Very friendly staff who thankfully spoke enough English to help us get by. They take credit card.Food was served quickly and the bread was very fresh. Would recommend for lunch.

This wonderful cafe has delicious baked goods as well as lunch and brunch. We had the bagels and pastries for a late breakfast. They were all so delicious that we came back later for lunch (and more pastries). They’re beautiful to look at and delicious to eat!

Went for lunch and they ran out of almost everything on their menu around 2:00 pm. Luckily, the burger and fries that I ordered were absolutely delicious. We ended up getting some French baked goods from the bakery inside and were pleasantly surprised. I love a good eclair!

We created a pastry spread. We had an almond tart, tiramisu, chocolate cookie, mille feuille and a chocolate chip cookie Delicious! We recommend to some others who were staying at the same resort.

When I was in Moorea in 2004, I visited this place daily. Loved the ice cream.Fast forward to 2022, I was excited to visit this place again. Still had the ice cream, but the vibe was different. Not bad, just different. It was very nostalgic to be able to come back.

I got mini cakes every morning we were in Mo’orea. I tried almost all of them and everything was delicious. I especially liked their mousse cakes, they were so yummy and unique.

Pretty good! Had snack and drinks here. Soaked up some WiFi after checking out of the hotel before flight! Friendly staff!

Amazing pastries and ice cream!! The Dark Vador burger was very delicious!

The croissant was delicious so was the pain au chocolat my son had.

Yummy & quick breakfast stop. Bagels & coffees are simple yet good ! Lovely staff too.

Good bakery and restaurant. I have breakfast and it was great. They also have wifi is you need to work or get connected.

Yummy croissants and desserts. A very busy area and they do run out of items during peak times. When we were there, a live band was playing in the outdoor seating area.

Not a very pleasant dining experience. My partner had the grilled chicken with fries and BBQ sauce. Half of the chicken was undercooked and raw in places. I told management but they never said sorry or offered a discount or refund. I had the Mahi Mahi with white rice and salad. The fish was cooked right but had no seasonings whatsoever. They served a garlic mayonnaise sauce on the side, but I hate mayo so that was pointless. Very surprising for a $27 meal. I even had to ask for butter for the bread. We won’t be back.

We made reservation for our group of 9 people to celebrate a birthday. They were very accommodating with our kids and language gap. While there were items that you could find elsewhere there were dishes special to here so we tried the Coconut Crab and Tuna Canoe (with Tahitian sized servings) both of which were spectacular! We are also still raving about the coconut bread. Our servers made us feel so welcome. It was one of the best meals of our trip.

My Wife and I wanted a surprise dinner out and our Air B&B hosts scheduled a shuttle service to Tiahura restaurant and back.Let me start by saying that this place did not disappoint! The Food was Exquisite, the Service was Fantastic & the Ambiance was Marvelous!My wife took the Tuna Gratiné which was Rich & Creamy with great depth of flavours & I got a perfectly cooked Parrot fish which melted in your mouth it was so fresh!Highly Recommend!

Great place for lunch and Dinner . Be sure to make reservations!The suggestion of the day was excellent 👌Alcohol Drinks have a Great taste..🍹🍸🍷

Great food and great service. The coconut crab was definitely an adventure. It doesn't taste like any other crab I tried before, The soup they put in the crab belly is not only decorative but delicious.

Overpriced for the quality and quantity of food. I ordered the combo: fish of the day (parrot fish) with lagoon clams and pan-fried vegetables. The fish was so overcooked, I would not serve it to anyone (picture attached). Also tiny, 15 cm (with the head) at most. Vegetables tasted and looked like they came out of the bag from the freezer. Carrots and green beans, steamed/microwaved had zero flavor. Clams were ok. My husband ordered house tuna appetizer and sashimi. Flavorless, which is to be expected, but what’s interesting, his stomach got upset right after. In addition, the service was rather slow. It took about an hour from the time we got seated to when our entrees arrived. There is plenty of much better seafood options in Moorea. Please choose wisely.

By far my favorite restaurant on the island. They have lots of really unique dishes on their specials that are all really exciting. We dined for lunch with a large group and didn't need a reservation, but it is probably needed for dinner.Being a large group we shared three different coconut crabs and were amazed at how different they all tasted. I got the parrot fish in clam curry as my dish and it was off the charts amazing. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed their food.The host is super friendly and has a wonderful, quirky, sense of humor, which is lacking at many of the restaurants on the island.I highly recommend including this on your itinerary of dining locations.

We are in town for 12 days and are trying to hit all the good restaurants and this is definitely one of them! We sat at table 11 😊the owner was very attentive, the place was busy! But the food came out quickly and it was delicious. Had the carpaccio special, chicken curry, and bananas flambé. Definitely worth coming in and getting a great meal.

This place was unassuming and completely amazing. I had the trio de thon and it was 100% delectable. The ingredients were fresh, the texture of the fish was silky and perfect temperature. I could eat here everyday!

We had a lovely time. Great service, nice atmosphere, lovely food! The portions were very good. The three of us shared 2 of flamed bananas and ice cream, very yummy!! Have great pics and memories. I would definitely go back!!

I had the grilled chicken.It was burnt (I like char) but all I could taste was a bad smoke. The grill must be dirty or the chef thinks it's a good idea to cook meat in a flame. The fish was ok...too much onions and too much sauce on the salad.

This is my favorite restaurant of the many good ones I’ve enjoyed in Polynesia. The waitress was so engaged in helping me decide between the many great specials offered. I picked the carpaccio with passion fruit sauce because of her high praise. I’m so glad I had it. Exquisite. So we’re all the delicately prepared vegetables and even the simple rice was perfectly done. I’ll go back before I leave the island and will be my first stop when I return.

Neighborhood gem. Local Polynesian cuisine featuring seafood, chicken, taro and other specialties with sauces of your choice: coconut milk curry, garlic sauce, provencale. Delicious, fresh herbs in each dish. So good, we've eaten here twice and a 3rd visit might be in the near future. A super bonus is a free ride to and from the restaurant to our hotel. This might not be offered to everyone, but grateful that it is available to us. Recommend reservations esp on Saturday night.

Stopped here on our road trip around the island. The two of us sit a pizza and two co*kes for lunch. Was just the right amount of food and price was reasonable. Sat at the picnic table on ocean side, with a wonderful view.

We only had burgers here. They were decent. The service was mediocre at best. They asked us if we wanted dessert but never came back to take our order instead they just started closing

We called 30 mins before showing up to make reservations and even though they were packed, they got a table right away, the service and food was fantastic. We had the Hawaiian pizza, Vegetarian Curry, kids Chicken nuggest, Pina Colada, beer and anana juice. The view was perfect for sunset dinner, doesn't get much better on the island at a restaurant to watch the sunset.

We went to the sunset restaraunt a few days ago and the meals there were pretty good, price wise a lettle expensive, but worth the view.The view across the lagoon is great, especially when the sun is out and it is not cloudy.I had monkfish cheeks which were okay but a little dry, however quite good, my wife had the bacon and tomato baguette with chips. The chips were well drained and not over salted which is great to see.The service was a little slow, however the restaraunt was pretty well to capacity, hence the service, which could be anticipated.

Sweet people and great place on the best public beach anywhere on earth.

Very nice place to watch sunsets. Excellent atmosphere and clean dinning area...As seen here in Google "there is not phone contact to make any reservation." Ah? Hello?You need to call thru the hotel which we did not know which was. Restaurant opens at 17:30 and everyone rushes there obviously to watch a beautiful 🌇 sunset. Very limited parking space, we had to park outside main at the sideway road, which is not safer after you finish to eat.As for food, please do not order any Mahi Mahi, it was tasteless, missing seasoning like garlic or onion taste. It was a good place for having celebrate our 15 anniversary ❤.

Fantastic view of sunset; great menu; friendly staffIf you want a table with a view, you have to book ahead.

I WILL PUT AN END TO THE 5 ⭐️ versus 1⭐️ reviews!!! And the verdict is….. a solid 3.75 stars! From the moment we walked in about 20 minutes before the sun was setting, we were greeted by a friendly staff and given a table with uninterrupted ocean views even though we didn’t have a reservation. The staff was quick to take our drink orders. We did not order any pizza given their extensive menu, but instead went with the pasta carbonara and the tuna carpaccio. Wow. The food was fresh, had a great presentation (1/2 cracked egg on the pasta), and tremendous flavor. The music playlist was perfect for dinner. Prices were very on par with other restaurants in the area, but most of them don’t provide this fantastic view! A touch of ambiance with the decor, we will definitely be back!

Nice Buffet breakfast to get your day started. Eggs, hash browns, and traditional French-Polynesian spread. Lots of local jams too. Setting is right on the water, beautiful view to start the day!

Happened upon this place and the location is superb, right on the water. You could literally swim or boat up to this restaurant. The quality of food wasn't quite on par with the price, but I suspect the location was the reason. The shrimp and fish were fresh but not as inventive with seasoning, garnishments, and presentation. Overall, solid but not completely unforgettable.

Amazing lunch by the water.The food was really great. Fish was very fresh and tasty. The foie gras was very good as well.The staff was very friendly as well. Really liked eating while looking at the fish and sharks.

Food was good. Heavy use of the microwave. But flavors were spot on. We had the mahi dumplings, seared tuna, beef stew, and ravioli. We saw a couple sharks and one ray, which was cool.Our problem came at the time for the bill. Once they brought the check they informed us the credit card machine was broken. Luckily we had some cash for the taxi ride home. We looked up the exchange and gave all the cash we had which came out to be more than the check. The server (who was very nice) said her boss said we had to pay more. They wanted to use the island standard of 1 dollar to 100 francs and the actual conversion we would have paid with the card is .91 to 1 franc. So we were actually paying over the bill with the correct conversion.There was some back and forth with the boss, and he very reluctantly agreed to the total, which is good because we didn’t have any more cash since we weren’t planning on paying with cash.So make sure if you go, bring more cash than you think you will need. We were just disappointed that they made us feel like we were trying to cheat them, when we were, in fact, paying over the actual currency exchange, all because their equipment failed.

Meals were quite small and expensive. Some staff were not that friendly (waiter). I would recommend booking a table in advance, as there were hardly no tables available in the back section even on a weeknight.We were not that impressed with the meals/service, but the highlight was watching the sharks, stingrays, and fish gather together near the back steps of the restaurant, which was a very unique experience.

The owner of our VRBO advised we should try this restaurant, so glad he did! Roger was exceptionally kind, service was fantastic... The aquatic "dinner show" was absolutely captivating!! So much sealife just beside you whole you eat! And then the food.... Delicious... I had filet w fois Gras & my sister enjoyed the Mahi & shrimp dumpling.... Just perfect.... Not a mystery why they've been there >40y

We loved our dinner here. I had the Beef stew and my partner had the curry shrimps. Both dishes were great! What really made our night is seeing the nurse sharks and the sting rays swim while eating!

I ate dinner there back in 2010. The steaks we ordered were cooked to perfection. Nice little cozy atmosphere. The restaurant name I was told translates to Little Turtle.

The setting of this restaurant is spectacular for marine life watching, it is right next to the water and you can see sharks and rays under the light. Very cool!The food was decent but more basic than other places we tried in Moorea. Prices were very high for food and drinks. Come here for the marine atmosphere and you won’t be disappointed.

Is there an option for more than 5 stars?I never write reviews but Te Honu Iti was one of the coolest experiences of my life and certainly the coolest meal. Food is great- the shrimp with coconut curry was amazing. Service was too. But the real gem in terms of unique experience is the rays and sharks that swim up to the restaurant at night. My sister and I went down some steps to see the rays and sharks up close and they were incredibly social, putting on a total show for us and the other diners. After dinner, we went back to sit and watch the rays and sharks and the waitress brought over some fish to feed the sharks. It was something I never thought I would do and I’m so grateful for the experience on top of a good meal!

The best meal I had on my 2 week trip to the French Polynesia! The food was delicious and reasonably priced, especially since one dish is easily enough food to share between 2 people. We got the ribs and they were cooked perfectly. Lovely service and overall fantastic meal. Highly recommend!

AMAZING! Favorite spot on the island. Delish variety of grilled meats & raw sashimi tahitian classics. I got the Manuia and my partner got the Grilled Chicken Thigh. Our friends got the carpaccio (a little oily) and the coconut sashimi, so fresh and delish.

First experience and very positive experience.The waiting time was a bit long… but it deserve to wait. Everything was great, very well cooked and a lots of delicious flavor.Polynesian musique on the TV, very nice atmosphere.A place to go

Not a bad spot with similar dishes to elsewhere on the island. Must admit have had better although certainly does the trick. Huge serving sizes ! The staff here work at a slow & relaxing pace which we didn’t mind at all.

This restaurant was conveniently directly across from our hotel (Manava) and the food was incredible! We had the steak and seafood kabobs and rice. The portions were so large I couldn't finish my meal.

We just had the best dinner of our vacation so far here! co*cktails: to die for and way better price than on the resort! Food: AMAZING. Order the ribs. Just don’t even wonder about the rest. We got the ribs and the steak but the ribs just absolutely stole the show. Atmosphere/service: so friendly! The servers were all great!

Great little place to stop! Music was excellent and so was the food.... So much food!! Did the 1 skewer w fish & shrimp & there was so much it made 2 meals. Staff was extremely friendly. Easy parking though we walked.

Best dinner experience we had on the island! Much more affordable than the resorts and the food is stellar. Don’t miss out on the skewers - it can easily be a meal for 2 (or a meal for 1 really hungry post swim tourist lol)

Relaxed and casual setting with generous food portions. We came here twice since we really enjoyed the food. There was live music which provided a lively ambience. The grilled steak was delicious with great flavor and cooked to perfection. The curry carpaccio coco was divine!

Quite large portions and prices are about mid-range. Good value for money. Kebabs were amazing! Staff were friendly and welcoming. We visited this place twice during our stay in Moorea. This place gets very busy and is popular with the locals too!

I got the ribs with BBQ sauce and Tabu lemon beer - both were very good. If you're American you may expect more fatty meat but these ribs were lean which it turns out I prefer. The beer was light and refreshing during the hot afternoon as well.

This is the bar and restaurant at the hotel. All the food I had was pretty good I didn’t have any complaints. What I really enjoyed was their desserts! I ordered a couple different desserts every night of our stay, and had it delivered to the room. Their desserts were amazing

Amazing views. Quite windy on a December 15th 75 degree day. Just had drinks while we were here, but full menu available. Courtesy is not spared by the waiter.

Delicious food, big portions, and great staff and service. Right by the beach with beautiful scenery!

Considering this is supposed to be a five-star resort, the food is OK. Drinks are anywhere between $20-$30 apiece. Beer and water anywhere from seven to $10 each and you’re looking at between $30-$50 for lunch. The food is OK. The fries always seem to be served cold, yuck. Just a very disappointing experience for what you’re paying. The staff however, is wonderful as is the atmosphere.

Out of the hotel restaurants I tried (Hilton and Sofitel) this is the best "return of investment", the one that's worth what you're paying. Not too pricey, big portion, and good simple food. We had the cesar salad, burgers, and 2 different pastas (bolognese for me, shrimp and cream for my husband). Good portions, good to very good food.

Great place to relax after a day filled with local sights and culture. The food is great and desserts are enjoyable. Recommend to everyone who enjoys a good meal at the end of the day.

Hotel restaurant was great! Food was fantastic, and overlooking the beach and lagoon for a great view for lunch!

Delicious food. But overpriced by starving Hilton corporate office.Amazing location by the beachfront.$6.5 for co*ke. It’s painful to discuss the price on the menu. Catch your fish in the lagoon. Eat it raw or grill it in your bungalow.

This restaurant is inside the Hilton. It’s right on the beach and appears clean. Have eaten there 3 times in a sense. Once on the beach via service, lunch, then dinner. The menu is the same for all meals.The menu seams expansive but lots of substitutions on their part. Flavor is a bit lacking. Prices on some things are a bit crazy. My wife ordered a glass of champagne. It was $26 for a 14ml pour which is about 3/4” on the bottom of a small plastic cup. Not appealing and makes it about 48 pours per bottle. That makes the 750 ml bottle get about 45 pours at 14ml per pour. That means that bottle is over $1000. A bit extreme and the last order of that.Starters were good but nothing exceptional. I ordered a seared tuna. The server brought a plate and said who has the swordfish. I said I ordered the tuna and he replied “ oh this is the tuna.” It was swordfish for sure. We saw a few pasta dishes and pizza. They looked ok but neither in a style we like. I didn’t expect this but had a burger for lunch. Other than a lot of aïoli it was a really good burger. My fife and I could have split it but she ordered a chicken club sandwich that was ok due to the bacon being very chewy.I have critiqued the food a bit and I think I should. Now I want to comment on the staff. ALL are great. They carry a smile in all they do and want to be of good service. I would say the staff is the highlight of this location.We would never go out of our way to come back but tough with few options at this location.

The only good part of this bar, was that it closed up half way through our stay. Only two beers on tap for Happy Hour, and they were still over priced. It was, by far the SADDEST happy hour I have even seen. One more reason to not stay at the Hilton Moorea. And not a shark to be seen, contrary to every picture that is posted about the bar.

If you love seafood, you will enjoy your visit to Le No Stress! There are 7 tables out on the front porch and several more tucked way inside. We came here for lunch and tried a mix of seafood. My wife ordered the Daily Fish with Vanilla Sauce and Mashed Pumpkin - absolutely delicious! I ordered the Thon Ahi Poke as I was in the mood for fresh raw tuna, vegetables, and fruit. This dish was fresh, good, and good for you!

Best meals in Moorea are in Le No Stress. We are 6 people, we ordered a variety of dishes and desserts and everything was excellent. The restaurant is run by French family who used to own several restaurants in France. So it feels like you are eating in France. Exquisite, good flavors, beautiful presentation, Aldo good size portions. Our fave: trois mers, magret de canard, Crème Brûlée.

Excellent fresh food, wonderful setting with outdoor patio. The poke bowls were delightful. Thanks for the delicious lunch!

Delicious seafood!! We were very excited to arrive here and find that their seafood options were more expansive than shrimp and fish. I ordered the clams on their specials of the day menu. The clams were fantastic! They were served in this wonderful broth and cooked well. My husband ordered the octopus. The octopus was amazing. Very well cooked and well seasoned. This dish is a must order. Highly recommend this for one of your meals

Great seafood and co*cktail options, worth trying out while you’re in Moorea

We had lunch here for the first time and were so impressed with the tasty Thai beef salad and Tuna poke bowl that we came back for supper ! The trio of fish was delicious. I enjoyed the ginger and lime co*cktail and then we shared the assorted 4 pudding and biscuits which were also very enjoyable. Great to try different puddings rather one big one. Service was very attentive and welcoming. The restaurant was spotless and the decor was lovely .We may end up there tomorrow!! We would highly recommend .

We discovered this place as we were driving around the island and wow did we get lucky!We arrived before they were officially open, but Stella seated us and got us started with drinks and the menu, as the owner and staff finished their “family” brunch together.We chose the seafood trio (seared tuna, mahi, and shrimp) and tuna carpaccio. My wife got a rum drink and I got a Bordeaux.The food was amazing…. I discovered the taste of true paprika, which flavored my wife’s carpaccio to perfection. My shrimp were perfectly prepared with garlic, parsley, olive oil etc. Similar to what I have enjoyed recently in Barcelona. The mahi was cooked to perfection, and the seared tuna was impeccable.Amazing staff, dedicated to the restaurant and very caring for the customer.Now off to the beach to sleep it off.

Out of ~15 Poisson Crus I tried while on Tahiti and Moorea, this was hands down the best. Something about it made it so distinct from the others… fresher, meatier pieces of tuna, more creamy coconut milk… it was superb. Honorable mention to their tuna carpaccio with passion fruit and ginger. Delicious!

Best pizza in Moorea! We went back a few times as it was so delicious and very close to Napoli pizza! Pasta dish was also pretty great!

Amazing atmosphere, pizza was so wonderful and the staff was so friendly and awesome to have conversations with. Tried her hardest to help us with French and we in return taught her some English. The entire experience was amazing! Don’t read the poor reviews, horrible tourist with poor taste!This place is a 5 star all around

The service here is absolutely great, so keep doing it like that!They pick you up and give you a ride back to your hotel.So we started with shrimp dumplings that came with a ginger sauce, it was delicious!For mains we had tuna with sliced potatoes, gravy and some steamed vegetables, again finger licking! But the other main could've been a bit better, it was shrimp ravioli with the restaurant's special sauce, the shrimps wasn't seasoned so it was lacking flavour, also the pasta itself was a bit cold. So in my opinion there's room for improvement here.Dessert was amazing, that creme brule was gorgeous!It's a bit overpriced but when you take into account the service, the quality of the food and that you're in moorea, it does worth every single penny.Keep doing such a great job guys!!

What an INCREDIBLE place! Ambiance 10/10. Food 10/10. Authenticity 10/10. Service 10/10. Simply amazing. One of the best pizzas I’ve EVER had (and I lived in Italy for 6 months!) Great wine. Great prices. Simply a must visit when in Moorea. Loved it. We will be back.

BEST PIZZA WEST OF ITALY! 😍 We came twice and only wish I had more days to eat each pizza on the menu! We loved our burrata, and Napolitana (added arugula). I just wanted to eat everything! Lasagna and pasta looked good too. Desserts excellent! Staff are wonderful, friendly + attentive 💕

Good pizzas, nice atmosphere and a killer pavlova

Incroyable! Pizza really rich, fresh and fantastic, original Neapolitan Pizza in Moorea with very friendly service! The pavlova at the end the Cherry on top :)

Great pizza!!! They have an imported Italian pizza oven which leads to amazing cook on the pizza. The dough is great. They have a great selection of pizzas. We ordered the Burrata and the Margherita. The burrata was fabulous! Both the pizza and the cheese. I would recommend coming here. Make sure you make a reservation!! It is very popular

Food is good but attitude can be better. We came without reservation and they said they ran out of pizza… so we could not order pizza any more. But 25 people who came after us ordered pizza. That’s horrible! Pour service!Margarita is $22 and it tastes bad! Don’t order their co*cktails. I am sure wine by bottle could be good.I would never let French run an Italian restaurant…

MUST GO! We had pizza and pasta. Both were incredible. The pasta with creamy mushrooms, white truffle oil and parmesan is highly recommended. Make sure to check out the pizza oven. It’s from Italy and can bake a pizza in minutes.We sat indoors (open air) but there is a nice outdoor seating area. Wear bug repellant when eating outdoors at night on the island.The pizza is authentic Naples Italy style pizza. This means cut it yourself. They have a board of nightly specials (written in French) Only open for dinner.My only complaint is they charged us $1.00 for a to go box for my truffle oil pasta and put it in a cardboard pizza box! My truffle oil was saturating into the cardboard within minutes! Yikes!

We go to this restaurant every time we come to Mo'orea. We first came here 3 years ago and the restaurant has really improved. They also have the same menu as 3 years ago, but the flavors are so good!FoodMy favorite dish is the shrimp curry. It is really fresh and served at the perfect temperature on a hot day.ServiceStaff treats you like family and creates a very welcome atmosphere. Their hospitality feels genuine, and they make sure you are well taken care of.ArmosphereThe restaurant sits right on the beach, so you you a calming breeze coming from the ocean. Unlike a lot of the restaurants in the area, we didn't have a problem with any bugs or mosquitos, so the experience is always a nice break.

Only got to enjoy this delicious food once because of 2 week Covid lockdown that started during my vacation in late August. The poisson cru was my favorite I had during my vacation. The portion size was larger than I was expecting, pictures don’t do it justice. Great prices for the amount of food you get. Fast and friendly service.

Excellent food, great atmosphere, fantastic entertainment! Plus an amazing view. Very glad we spent our first night in Moorea here. Thank you for a wonderful evening! The curry prawns and grilled sirloin steak, with a local beer, plus a takeaway pizza for later!

Beautiful hidden gem right on the lagoon. The smoked chicken salad was delicious. The poisson cru Chinese style had way too much dressing/sauce but the flavor and quality of the fish were good, had carrots and cucumber and lettuce but was drenched in a oily vinaigrette like sauce.The $20 passion fruit mojito was delicious, and way better than our Sofitel $20 co*cktails.Saw the fried/breaded fish at another table and wished we had ordered it. It was a huge serving.We’d definitely go back if we had more time.Takes credit card!

Nice place with nice food and great service. We took the local dish of raw tuna in coconut milk and another dish of fried swordfish. There both were delicious.

I ate here twice, and both the swordfish and poisson cru were delicious. I also tried the happy hour co*cktails, which are excellent on a hot evening after a day hike. Kudos to the staff - great food and service.

Can’t rate the food… went just after 8 pm and was told the kitchen closed at 8 pm on a Saturday. So bummed we traveled there to be turned away. Would love to go back and try for a sunset dinner since it looks like a neat place!

Hidden gems only known from the locals. It's on the ocean, spacious and at the time we went there it was quiet even if the place was almost full. The food was great. I enjoyed the smoked chicken.

Great place to buy or eat fresh fish! For dinner we had the Trio of Tuna (all raw) and the fresh grilled kebab with Tuna. It was fantastic!!! You can also buy fresh fish here to take away. Owners are super friendly. Highly recommend!!

Fun, local spot that was recommended to us by our Hertz agent Sami. We tried the spring rolls, local shrimp with curry sauce, and poisson de cru. All were great. Fun cozy setting.

Good little hole in the wall. They gave us a ride home after as well. Kind people. Mahi Mahi is great. They have cheese burgers and steaks. Friend loved the Tuna!

Very tasty dishes especially the fish trio (sashimi, carpaccio and tartare). The coconut was very good.The lady owner is super friendly.Thanks again!

Nice and cozy place in Moorea, food and service were great, we went twice, first time I ordered the Mahi Mahi and the next time I ordered the Carpaccio, we also got the nems. Fish is fresh every day. Desserts are also fantastic. Great value for your money too!!

Delicious fresh seafood! We tried the Poisson Cru, Trio (Carpaccio, Sashimi, Poke) and Samosas and everything was fantastic! I am still dreaming of the trio plate.. it was my favorite dish of the trip. Go here for a no-frills, delicious fresh seafood dinner. I believe it was cash only.

An absolute must if you are in Moorea! We ate here often, great value and so friendly - especially helpful with recommendations (not that you could go wrong). All the fish is caught by the husband of the wife who runs the kitchen.

This place is amazing! If you’re staying at the Villa Moana, it is within a 3 minute walk. The fish is freshly caught, and we watched the fisherman come into the restaurant, filet it, and then they cooked it in front of us for our grilled tuna, and then put the raw tuna in our cru coco. The staff is extremely friendly, the locals were welcoming, and the food is delicious. This may be our most favourite place we have eaten on Moorea and we highly recommend it!Or if you prefer to not dine in, you can always buy a fish for $10USD or 1.000 XPF. That is for the skipjack tuna the fisherman caught today. It was marvellous and the staff is absolutely wonderful!

We had Tuna Steak with fries and pepper sauce. We went here twice and it was both times delicious. It’s the best food we had in our entire time on Moorea!

We had an amazing time here. Great authentic food and I loved the local vibe.Loved it so much I went twice.The carpaccio with rice was delicious and it pairs really well with a blonde Hinano.We had a 5-year-old in our group and the chicken and fries was a hit.They also had great desserts, I had the profiteroles and they were delicious.

The setting for the restaurant is one of the loveliest in the world. Beautiful blue water and a stunning array of tropical fish. The food was not as amazing as the view - although overall we had a great experience. The trio of raw fish dishes was amazing and the chicken salad was tasty. Service was competent. The beach made it an outstanding day.

This is just a review of the restaurant. Food was simple and fresh. Service was quick. We got in without a reservation but the place filled up quickly after we arrived (about 645pm). Our server was quirky and made us laugh.

The guard was helpful when I asked him if I could access the beach to launch my kite. He informed me the beach was for guest of the hotel only, and directed me to a public beach nearby.

Amazing view by a gorgeous beach but that’s about it. We ordered the fish burger and found all the ingredients were skimpy; or perhaps the bun was oversized 🤪. Service was rushed; we were asked at least three times in the middle of our meal if our plates could be taken away.

Mediocre. The beach bar has a great setting: but closes in the evening. The included breakfast is poor: pastries taste stale. The restaurant in the evening is uninspiring. The rooms poorly designed. The bathroom door is obstructed by the towel rail. The hangers are fixed to the rail which makes it virtually impossible to hang anything up.We had booked a beachside bungalow: and initially got a room right at the back next to the toilet block.You also have to carry cash or cards - as you can’t charge drinks and extras to the room. Would’ recommend.

Refused us crepes at 9pm because "the last crepes are served at 8:30pm". This photo was taken at 9:03pm - they were clearly still making crepes... They turned down paying customers for no reason at all.

Beautiful location, loved watching the fish, sharks and sting rays with lights to show underwater.However there were some things that could be better1) The food was OK to good, but not amazing, especially for the price.2) The service is slow, and I am pretty sure they forgot about us at one point.3) Booking in was interesting, as we weren’t staying at the Hilton we were treated in a less than amicable manner.Overall worth visiting for the surroundings but don’t expect a fine dinning.

The hours posted as 0600-2130, 7 days a week are not correct… we wasted our time driving here at 230pm only to be told by front desk staff that it opens for dinner.Call them first, as it doesn’t seem they’re interested in updating the business listing operating hours.Helpful hint - - -CALL FOR A RESERVATION - - -They won’t tell you that you need a reservation until you walk up to the hotel gate where they turn you away! (2nd attempt to visit March 8, 2022)As of now, I wouldn’t eat here if it were giving away food and it was the last food on earth!Customer service is horrible, and I never got to a table!!! COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!If you want a crepe I’d suggest going to Le Motu Creperie and Pizzeria! (A pizza delivery at the gate of Toatea influenced our decision to visit Le Motu….. excellent service/food at Le Motu!!!)

My wife makes way better crepes at home. Watching sharks and marine life while dining is awesome experience. But the food is a pass. I will have my crepes at home.

Delicious crepes with best marine life viewing area in house! We saw so many black tip sharks and stingrays during dinner. Amazing place to chill out at night.

There are much better places to watch fish, rays and reef sharks while eating! Try Snack Mahana in Moorea, Coco Beach in Moorea, or La Plage de Maui in Tahiti Iti instead.We were seated at an outer table near a guest bungalow with no lighting over the water so our view was very dark. The inner tables were much brighter. We happened to see one eagle ray as we were approaching our seats but then absolutely NO wildlife during dinner. I kept looking down throughout dinner but besides the fact that it was very dark in the water, it did not appear that anything swam past or under us. I realize you can't control wildlife but our experience was nothing like previous reviews.It was also a very windy evening and everyone's plastic menus kept blowing into the ocean. The staff kept blaming customers for losing the menus instead of proactively anchoring the menus! To their credit, they did offer us to move tables to something in the covered area beside the kitchen. This restaurant only opens after sunset so it is naturally very dark if you are not in the inner part of the restaurant.There is a beer happy hour here from 4 to 5 p.m. before sunset.Food and drink were as expected. Our airbnb host made a reservation for us here upon request. We did not stay overnight at the Hilton, but the one thing we do recommend is happy hour drinks on the main bar deck at the hotel facing the sunset. This was however a nice experience to be able to see the property from the perspective of the overwater pontoon.I ate the Papy Claude duck pear Roquefort crepe with a glass of Brut cider. The Roquefort was overpowering.I'm a Hilton Honors member. But I would recommend leaving this property for lunch and dinner whenever possible to experience the real Tahitian food and culture!

Really delicious crepes! We loved the savory and the sweet ones we got. Also such a cool venue on top of the water with fish and sharks swimming all around below you!

We make crepes a lot at our home, and these were quite tasty. The dessert crepes were amazing. They also can make gluten free crepes and took extra precaution for “allergy” needs.

I have no doubts that crapes tastes great but hear me out why I think you want to dine in a different place. We’ve made a reservation in advance but when we showed all tables were busy and we were offered seats at the bar, after some arguments we were ushered to the side table with the plastic seats they had to get somewhere to get us seated. 35 min of waiting and no one stopped at our table so we just walked out and had an amazing dinner at the statehouse, 15 min drive, great views and excellent service. Don’t waist your time and just stop by in the evening to watch the fish but dine where you are appreciated as a customer.

This restaurant is on Hilton property. Hours are sporadic and they relocate due to weather. It is located on the pier center between overwater bungalows.Our group thought it strange to make a crepe place a dinner spot. There are only two dinner choices a night at the Hilton. They rotate between three locations and when wind or rain is expected they relocate to the buffet area.I have posted the menu to allow to make a choice if it is right for you. Location is cool at night. It is indoor/outdoor. Mostly outdoor. Most seats are near an edge and often black tip shark are swimming below. The night we had reservations, it relocated to the inside buffet area. As such none of our group could order a fish crepe so we ordered off the other outdoor relocated restaurant menu. It sounds better but not so much. But better than fish in a crepe.After dinner off the other menu we tried dessert crepes. They just didn’t do it for us. We tried the Normandy, Suzette and Bounty between 6 of us. We didn’t finish one. They may be for some and my wife loves crepes, but these did not do it for us.With limited food choices here it’s hard to avoid when you stay for a week. I have read so many other reviews about eating off property and I would have to agree. It may cost more but it tastes better. I also enjoy being out with the locals.In closing my review is on the down side but I must say the staff at this restaurant are pleasant, helpful and always have a smile. They are what make this location.

If you have to eat at the Hilton, which you have too, lol this is the place to eat. Great French crêpes, savory and dessert. And the best thing about this is you overlooking the lagoon and there’s anywhere from 6 to 10 sharks and various fish that entertain you during dinner. Like no other dining spot on the planet. 10 times better than the other restaurant Raitoui?

We really wanted to like this place because it was a super charming locale and the owner/staff were nice and friendly however the food was very disappointing. I got the tuna poke and it was not fresh, in fact it was half frozen and half cooked which means it was frozen and microwaved to thaw unevenly. The fish was not very vibrant and cut poorly with a lot of gristle. The chicken teriyaki was similarly microwaved and overall bland. Both came with rice & salad, which was ok, but also included a brown avocado garnish which was pretty unappetizing. Perhaps it was an off day because most of the other reviews are positive but unfortunately it was probably the worst meal we had on the island. Too bad!

Love this cute little place! Food was great and so was the sweet owner. This is in walking distance from the Hilton resort. Note they only take cash. 😊

We loved our lunch at Lilikoi! If you are staying at the Hilton, I would definitely recommend ditching the Hilton’s overpriced mediocre food and strolling over to Lilikoi for lunch instead. The food was top notch- especially the tuna poke bowl. The setting is quaint and cozy, family owned. Note that they accept cash only.

I really love this place. I ate the eggplant and pineapple curry and it was really amazing. My boyfriend had the tuna and loved it as well. You must try the desert with pineapples and rosemary! It is a really cute cafe with a really nice women.

Unbelievable lunch at such a cute spot! The staff was so friendly and welcoming. Get the shrimp curry, the sauce was to die for and the best rice on the island.

Best chicken curry I’ve had! It was so flavorful, so fresh! It was amazing! It’s a must to go here!

A short walk from the Hilton for some incredible food. Highly recommend the curry and the poke bowl. The juice of the day was also great. And there is also a super cute puppy for you to play with.

Amazing lunch spot on Mo'orea! The food is incredibly fresh and prepared when you order. The spot is lovely, and we enjoyed the breeze while we ate. I thoroughly enjoyed their plant-based options, especially the ones with pineapple, and my husband absolutely loved their tuna (he said it was in his top 3 tuna of all time). The service is great, with very friendly staff that can speak a variety of languages.

We were staying at Hilton Moorea so getting to Lilikoi was an easy quick walk across the street. We absolutely loved everything we ordered! We had fresh juice, tuna sashimi, poisson cru, and maybe our favorite.. biscoff and passion fruit tiramisu. My husband said the poisson cru was some of the best he had our two weeks in French Polynesia. The owners were friendly and were walking around talking to customers. We’re bummed we didn’t have enough time to go back for a second meal!

We ate here twice during our 5-day stay on Moorea. It was delicious, the prices are better then some other restaurants, it was a pleasant experience, the staff was very nice and accommodating. The first night, we ate poisson cru au lait de coco, poulet au citron (fried chicken with lemon glaze) and moelleux au chocolat (chocolate lava cake). The next time we ate there, we had poisson cru au lait de coco, sashimi, and maatinito with chicken. We will eat here again next time we come!

Big portions, good prices. Stopped during a downpour. Wife and I split one meal, plenty to go around and it was tasty (Chicken chow mein).

Very good food! Very generous portion and nice owner :)

We loved it and we're pleasantly surprised on how good everything tasted. We had enough for a second meal of leftovers...

The food was wonderful and fresh. Big portions too.

Very friendly staff. Our French is very limited and their English is too, but with the help of google translate we were able to order without any problems. The portions were generous and the pricing reasonable. We actually saved half of our meal to take back to the hotel for the next day. The food was pretty good, but not 5 star worthy. We will probably go back while we are here since it’s close to our hotel and the food was good

Great place with very good Thai and other Asian inspired dishes.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant in a very pleasant setting, quality service, fast very professional, view of the 9th holeThe dishes quite varied, the choice of high-level drinks.In short, a restaurant as we often find in golf courses in Europe.In terms of price, it remains very reasonable.(Original)Restaurant au cadre très agréable, service de qualité, rapide très pro, vue sur le 9eme trouLes plats assez variés, le choix de boissons de haut niveau.Bref un restaurant comme on en trouve souvent dans les golfs en Europe.Côté prix cela reste très raisonnable.

This place was a delicious and beautiful place to eat!!! I would recommend coming here for a delicious meal and great view. I give it four stars rather than 5 because the service was challenging. We ended up eating four courses rather than two because of the way the orders were taken. They were also out of many key menu items. The Caesar salad is so good! The chicken burger was delicious. The pumpkin hummus was very heavy on pumpkin. The assortment of fresh cheeses was also great.

(Translated by Google) Very nice setting, excellent dishes from starter to dessert, co*cktails also alcoholic or not, staff very helpful.Very good place we tested family, I recommend.(Original)Très beau cadre, plats excellents de l'entrée au dessert, les co*cktail aussi alcoolisés ou non, personnel à l'écoute très serviable.Très bonne adresse qu'on a testé en famille, je recommande.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant setting by the golf course!Quality restaurant, very generous portions!Very good burger.Large car park to park in front of the restaurant.Very nice wine listWhat is unfortunate is that the dishes are less refined than before!(Original)Cadre agréable au bord du golf!Restaurant de qualité, portions très généreuses!Très bon burger.Grand parking pour se garer devant le restaurant.Très belle carte des vinsCe qui est dommage c’est que les plats sont moins raffinés qu’avant !

Food is decent at a good price for the area. Service pretty standoffish and lackluster. Longgggg wait times for food.

Great spot for lunch or dinner. Dining directly next to the water with stunning views. It doesnt look like much from the road but it is worth a visit. Pizza was DELICIOUS!!! They make it with a sweet dough and we really loved it. Poisson Cru was also very good and came in a huge serving.

Nice atmosphere and good piña coladas! The burger was okay, tuna sashimi was good. I would recommend arriving on the early side, by the time we left it was completely packed and the wait staff could not keep up with orders and tables.
