The 17 best bars and drinks in Moorea

I would definitely recommend eating lunch here if you are going to moorea. We booked a couple of weeks in advance and when we did there were only 1 or 2 days on our vacation that were available. It was absolutely paradise, beautiful clear water. Lush green trees, a ray swam up to the picnic tables that are halfway in the water. There is limited parking. We arrived early and had to park on the side of the road. My advice is to bring or pack water shoes that was my only regret. When you arrive by the boat you wade in shallow water for a few steps and it is quite rocky with coral 🪸 and rocks and shells. I'm not really sure about snorkeling there, you can but I feel like you would have to really want to. But I do think some good water wading shoes would be helpful.

Definitely worth a visit. We had a beautiful day! Book your reservation on the website. Your reservation time is for the time of the boat pick up. The food was amazing. Snorkeling was fun but the current was really strong. If you walk right of the restaurant there is a beautiful sand bar.

Amazing restaurant on a motu with a ferry shuttle service (costs an extra $5 US return) or you can rent a boat or a paddle board or a kayak to get there. Book an early time because the last shuttle comes back at 3:00 p.m. and if you want to snorkel in the Coral gardens, there's black tip reef sharks and stingrays and thousands of beautiful fish and corals I've never seen before, you just have to walk past the restaurant along the water a couple hundred meters. We had an 11:00 a.m. shuttle booking and by the time we arrived at the back of the group, all the tables in the water were already taken, so I would recommend taking the first shuttle and being at the front of the crowd when you get to the hostess stand. Eating with my feet in the water is a dream of mine that I will one day fulfill lol. We tried to book another trip and they were full a week in advance, at least the shuttle service, which is only for restaurant patrons... Btw I had the lagoon fish of the day which was a parrot fish and it was so delicate and delicious and fresh omg! Full of bones but that's to be expected with the smaller fish. I don't know if the restaurant staff saw me throwing the fins and tail and head to the chickens that were nearby, one of the things I love about French Polynesia is they're really laid back about stuff and they just ignore it if they see something, not like the rules of everywhere else. I don't think they have electricity everything is cooked on the grill so the rice and stuff must be made in advance on land, therefore our pina coladas were kind of chunky, with bits of real coconuts or pineapple, not blended like a smoothie. Just FYI to order something else. I did have a fresh squeezed pineapple juice afterwards that was the best juice I've ever had!

Definitely a “must do” while on Moorea! I made reservations on their website - reservations are needed for the boat that takes you to the motu. The reservation is for the whole day- so the table is yours. I booked for 11am (this is when the boat picks you up), we left around 3 pm. The food was great- I had the special- mahi-mahi- it was delicious! The pina colada was good. After lunch, we snorkeled for about an hour. There is a current between the two motus- fins were needed to get to the coral heads between the two islands but you can ride the current back (you could also wade/walk up then ride the current back). Highly recommend; kid friendly.

We went to Coco Beach as we had read it was a must do while in Moorea. If you have a nice beach where you are staying, where you can swim and snorkel you don't need to go to Coco. Once you are greeted off the boat by staff they encourage you to order a meal and drinks immediately before enjoying the beach, etc. We didn't like the timeline and pressure right after arriving. The best part was the boat ride out and that was about it. The drinks were nothing special and food was okay.

We had an excellent day on Coco Beach Island. We booked our boat shuttle on the website, met the boat at the wharf (lots of shady car parking) the ride over to Coco Island was stunning as was the lunch. Throughly enjoyed Coco Beach as our introduction activity on Moorea, a lovely relaxing day on an island in paradise. 5 star.

Coco Beach Moorea is a little slice of paradise! The setting is absolutely stunning—a small island café nestled under the trees, surrounded by the most vibrant turquoise sea you can imagine. The water is crystal clear, full of colorful fish, and perfect for swimming or just relaxing and soaking in the view. We waited about 15 minutes for the shuttle boat, which took around 10 minutes to reach the island. We arrived around 1 PM, which turned out to be a bit late—they had already run out of some of the most popular dishes like poisson cru and grilled octopus. So if you want the full experience, I’d recommend going earlier in the day. The food we had was delicious, but honestly, the reason I’d return is the location itself. It’s an unforgettable spot—peaceful, scenic, and uniquely Moorea. Highly recommended—not just for the food, but for the breathtaking setting. A must-do if you’re visiting the island!

The Moorea Beach Café is an absolute gem. The setting and views are nothing short of incredible — the perfect spot to watch the sunset while enjoying dinner with your toes in the sand and the ocean lapping at your feet. The food and service are exceptional, and Bruno, the owner, makes the experience even more special with his warm, welcoming personality. The crispy sushi was truly out of this world (so good I had to come back just to have it again!), and the fresh focaccia bread was another favorite. The Veuve Clicquot Champagne theme throughout the café creates a fun, celebratory vibe that makes every visit feel special.

My partner and I had a fabulous experience dining at Moorea Beach Cafe by Mr. Bruno Jamais. We started with a Veuve Cliquot toast while watching a beautiful sunset at a lovely table by the water. Each course was delicious - especially the foie gras sushi which was so fabulous, we ordered it twice!! We also enjoyed Greek salad, garlic bread, and Hawaiian pizza. The piece de la resistance - classic crème brûlée and espresso! I strongly recommend this charming cafe as a “must” visit on Moorea. It was also a pleasure to meet the incomparable Bruno Jamais - the visionary behind it all!

RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE – RUINED OUR LAST NIGHT IN MOOREA The view might be nice, but everything else was an absolute nightmare. My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and were immediately swarmed by bugs — crawling on our legs, into our shirts, and even into our food and drinks. No matter how much we swatted them away, they kept coming. We literally had bugs in our food and water cups. The manager offered to move us to a different table, but the whole restaurant was infested — mosquitoes and termites everywhere. By then, our food and drinks were already contaminated. His excuse? “It happens all over the island” and “it’ll end in 5 minutes.” It went on much longer, and instead of showing any understanding, he was dismissive and extremely disrespectful. When we explained we didn’t want to pay for food full of bugs that we couldn’t even eat, he ignored us. He offered a free dessert instead, but by that point, we just wanted to leave. To make matters worse, the nice table of three next to us tried to cheer us up and even offered to cover our drinks. But when the bill came, the manager charged us for EVERYTHING — including the drinks the other table had already put on their check. When I tried to reason with him, he doubled down, saying we were “the only ones complaining” and continued to make rude comments. Meanwhile, we saw multiple families unable to sit down because of how bad the bugs were, and several people walked out. Even when I finally decided to just pay to end the situation, he continued making disrespectful comments toward us while I was telling him, “just let me pay.” In the end, I just paid to avoid further confrontation and plan to dispute the charge with my hotel/credit card. What was supposed to be a special last night of our honeymoon was completely ruined by this awful experience. Do yourself a favor — RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. The owner is rude, the restaurant is bug-infested, and you’ll end up paying full price for food and drinks that you can’t even consume.

The most beautiful beach cafe I have ever been to in my entire life. The views here were mind-blowing. Very peaceful setting with friendly staff. We didn't have long in Mo'orea so we just took a taxi here (from the ferry port) with some friends and spent about an hour enjoying the view, with a lovely cold drink. I cannot rate the food because we didn't eat here.

Beautiful view and vibes. Bruno is the man! Merci/Maruru to him and all the staff! Epic portions and the sashimi was too notch. 🥂🤙🏻🌴

We were in Moorea for a week and ended up at this restaurant 3 times, we enjoyed it that much. We spent our last night there with our group of 8 and everyone raved about it and said it was the best restaurant they had been to on the island. The setting is perfect where you can watch a sunset while you dine or listen to the lapping of the water on the shore. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. We did encounter the bugs but they were gone by 6:45pm as the owner said they would be and they occurred the day previously at another restaurant.. of 3 visits they only appeared once and from talking to all the locals, it is an inexplicable act of nature. If the bugs are out, dine later in the evening or find an indoor restaurant. However MBC is not to be missed!

Don’t pay any attention to any of the negative reviews, we almost didn’t go because of them but we are so glad we went. This is the only spot on the island that you can sit and dine right on the waters edge, you have 180 degree water view and it is so amazing. The food and drinks are next level and the staff and owner are super friendly and attentive. We sat there for 2 hrs just enjoying and relaxing watching the view. We did other restaurants but none have a view, atmosphere, food, or service even close to this. Don’t miss out on this place!!

We were warmly welcomed to the restaurant. The terrace offers a breathtaking view of Cooks Bay, and you can see sharks swimming around. The shrimp was delicious!

Best dinner ever!! The restaurant is right on the water and during dinner, we saw an octopus, a sting ray, a nurse shark, multiple reef sharks, an eel, and a crab! There was no wait time and they were so nice and attentive! The food was better than most of the dinner restaurants we have been to on the island. Highly recommend this place!!

Well this place turned out to be a great find - even in the rain at night last week, it was awesome to eat alongside nurse sharks and sting rays. The staff was great and they even gave us a dish of raw fish to feed our new friends! Worth the trip for sure.

Quaint little off the road restaurant. You almost drive past it without noticing it. We easily got a table water side. The waiter was very nice and the menu was on a blackboard. We ordered the goat cheese salad. It’s the salad photo. The goat cheese is melted on top of a piece of toasted bread. There is a nice tomato sauce on top of the goat cheese. The bread is the croutons really. It was wonderful. Then we had the filet which was done perfectly. We also had the shrimp ravioli. Those raviolis were to die for. Hand made, these three raviolis fill you up. Cooked shrimp fills the hand crimped ravioli thin almost see through pasta. Peas on the outside, cooked vegetables, with a nice salad. The dessert was to top off a perfect dinner. The banana foster is better than I have ever had, even at $600 US a night dinners. The apple pie comes out pie size flat, making it a good size amount to serve two people if you’re already almost full from the meal. Overall, 5 stars! There are only 3 fine dining restaurants in the island and this is one of them! It doesn’t look like a fancy restaurant with marble floors but this pls e is just as good. Trust me! 800+ reviews can’t be wrong!

Came here at 6pm. First one & only while I was there. WARMED bread was served, which is a first to me in Polynesia thus far. The food is absolute delicious. Had the chicken & shrimp in lobster sauce with rice & veg. Best non-raw fish food I’ve had so far in Polynesia, rivaling my dinner at “2 Michelin star” Le Lotus in IC Tahiti. (Maybe even beating it; definitely in portion size & cost factors.) They deserve way more attention. Left satisfied & going to return tomorrow.

I ordered the scallops with peppersaus and tuna tartar. It was great🤩Cool with the reef shark that we could feed with tuna.

This place has a gorgeous view. The chef freshly prepared our lunch. The coffee was absolutely delicious, as were the tuna burgers. We saw lemon sharks swimming in the lagoon next to our table. It was beautiful view of the bay and the towering jungle peaks. Highly recommend.

The service and food were wonderful! We did the 7 course tasting menu, ordered a bottle of wine. We were the only people in the restaurant for about 30 min so we had a lot of attention. We enjoyed the experience, food and the service however, I’m not sure it was worth $500 USD. It was very over priced and hyped up upon check in. Although we enjoyed this, I would skip it next time!

We had 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing, and all the dishes were just delicious! Make sure you book the dates that serve tasting menu to get the best experience. Will definitely come back for the best meal in town when we return to Moorea!

Was it good? Yes, absolutely. Is it worth paying double what you would pay in the regular hotel restaurant? Not sure. The starter I had was indeed unique, but the main I chose (steak and gratin) was actually very similar, if not identical (which I highly suspect, since both gratins were low on salt...) to the same dish I had in the other restaurant the day before. Other than the sauce, it was almost identical. In fact, the dish I had the day before was bigger... So it was a little disappointing for me. Other than that, it was good.

We had a 3 course menu without wine pairing. The ambient in the sand was absolutely amazing. Also the service was also good. Unfortunately we wanted to order a la carte which was not possible. The food was mediocre, the mahi mahi was dry and the price is very very high given all this.

A beautiful setting for an exquisite dining experience. The foie gras with the Tahitian twist and the desserts were simply heavenly!

This was certainly the best meal we had the entire trip, and one of the best meals I have eaten. The portions are small as mentioned in some of the other reviews, but it’s a 7 course tasting menu. You’re not going to get a 16oz steak for your entree. Each of the courses were absolutely delightful, from the very beginning to the dessert. The wine pairings were also spot on. As amazing as the meal was, the service was outstanding. Very attentive, and helpful to explain each of the dishes as they were brought out. It did not feel too long at all. Once again it was a 7 course tasting menu, it’s going to take time. If you’re coming to Moorea and are looking for an outstanding dining experience, look no further.

The atmosphere and service are excellent. However the food and wine are very disappointing. We had the five course meal and wine paring. All of my food are full of sugar. I feel like we spent over $300 and sit for 2 hours to eat 5 very mediocre desserts. The menu itself is 2 starters + 1 entree + 2 desserts. Not sure why anyone want 2 desserts on a fixed menu. Wine pairing was very random, and doesn’t match the food at all. Not to mention they are not very good wine by themselves either. It’s sad that the food and wine are bad for such a nice venue.

Some places rely on their view or location too much, and cut corners elsewhere, because of higher overhead, operating costs, supply costs etc. This place is not one of those. You get the best of both here. The food is phenomenal, the staff was amazing from GM to servers. Prices are elevated but reasonable. And this coconut creme brulee was one of the most amazing desserts I've ever had, anywhere. Incredibly unique dessert. Also the duck was excellent and perfectly cooked. The half-lobster with the surf and turf was awesome. We went after dark, so I don't have a great picture of the view, but I could see it at dusk, and it was spectacular. I'm not sure why the Google maps restaurant rating was lagging a bit at 4.2 on 8/6/25, but that compelled me to post a 5-star rating. Also, I wanted to note the kid-friendliness of the culture there. They dedicated an airline-club style room to kids, which had two beds/lounges and a TV on the room wall to play children's programming. But that says something because they could have put at least two more customer tables in that room for more Revenue. There's literally zero excuse not to go to this place as a top-3 dining destination on Mo'orea.

Great Restaurant! The lobster of my surf and turf was brilliant as well as the homemade shrimp dumplings and the coco creme brulee. We didn't like the entrecote (very chewy) and the burger was solid but nothing exceptional.

We had a very good experience. We had beef tenderloin, one medium well and one medium, were on point, and the creme brulet was also exquisit. The view is really nice, we had the full moon and the sea in front of us.

We had a lovely meal here on October 14th 2025. We were lucky to walk in at around 7:00 p.m. and get a table for two. It's a lovely place with fresh flowers everywhere, a neat wine cellar that's glassed in and all the tables are on a covered wooden deck overlooking the ocean a block away, and would probably have a great view at sunset! The staff were wonderful, they share tips so everybody was serving us not just our server. We didn't order steak because we heard it comes from New Zealand not Alberta like we're used to in BC Canada, and we know we're spoiled! I had the steak tartare and my companion had the fish of the day which was a local type of swordfish, we couldn't remember the name. The creme brulee in the coconut shell was delicious as well. I made the mistake of having the crispy tempera prawn appetizer and I just had to try their homemade olive tapenade, and then I couldn't finish my dinner ...but I still wanted dessert so I ended up with quite a bit of a to-go box 😆 I had it for dinner tonight though so I really got two meals out of it. Dinner for two with one drink and one juice was $200 US, quite reasonable for such a fancy place! We may return again on this trip! 😍🥰

We stayed at the Hilton and this restaurant provided a free return shuttle. Dinner was amazing as was dessert! Would certainly return and recommend. The staff were super polite and engaging too!

So thankful we found this place! We ended up eating here three nights in a row, because it was by far, the best food on the island. Everything was delicious. We had steak, lobster, fish and chicken. The wait staff is excellent and they go above and beyond. Heanahu(sp), our server, was the absolute sweetest. She has the best personality and excellent service. We really struggled to find good food off the resorts but this steakhouse was phenomenal. Couldn't ask for better food or a better experience.

Beautiful building. Nice view. Upscale and great for a date night. Service was outstanding and food was exquisite. Best wine liquor selection I’ve seen on the island. Saw they had a nice happy hour selection/specials.

Absolutely incredible place. Would consider this at top pizza place in any part of the world, evermore so surprising to find such quality on the west side of the island. Make sure to make reservations. Limited seating. Limited opening times.

We visited the restaurant yesterday. We had one of the best pizza we ever had😍We are from Germany and have been to Italy so many times but its really hard to find such a good pizza even in Napoli. We had the Nduja Pizza and the Pesto Pizza. Nduja was really good but the Pesto was incredible. The dough is like heaven and all the ingredients taste homemade. A bite of it gives you so many tastes it’s hard to figure out what you like most

Easily the best pizza and lemon tarts we have ever had. And prices are soooo reasonable! Service was outstanding. We are seriously considering a 10k mile round trip back just to get more of their food!!! lol

Pizzas are good, but be cautious with extras as they can be very pricey, in my case i ordered a regular ham and mozzarella pizza for about 2000 XPF and asked for additional burrata on top. I was surprised to be charged an extra 950 XPF just for a small portion of burrata - half the cost of the pizza itself. Maybe the burrata was hand-carried from Italy to Polynesia in someone’s backpack - that would explain the price.

The best pizza in French Polynesia! We ordered the foresta and the burrata. Both were incredibly good. Good portion size and tasted just as great the next day!

Best Neapolitan-style pizza with a light, soft crust. You feel like you’re in Italy, but you’re actually on Moorea. The place is really clean, and the staff pay great attention to hygiene standards. Highly recommended: make a reservation in advance, as it’s always busy and you might not get a table—especially if you want to enjoy their pizza.

We had a delicious meal here during our stay on Moorea. Would highly recommend. Make a reservation beforehand as the evening before we had tried to get in and there was an hour wait.

We enjoyed our dinners at the creperie, where we ordered both savory and sweet crepes. There is somewhat of a limited menu but they accommodated special requests. Staff was friendly and attentive. All of the seating is outside with a limited number of tables under cover near the bar. The remainder of the tables are situated on the boardwalk in somewhat close quarters.

We were pleasantly surprise by the delicious crepe, they have a variety of selections for both galette and crepe. My favorite was the teiki galette and the Suzette crepe. The staff was super friendly. They only have a few tables and were almost full but nicely accommodated us a table, make sure to reserve in advance. The sunset view was incredible! During our dinner, a shark family greeted us and stays around for over an hour which occupied our kids the whole dinner time :) Kids menu is great and is free for 12 and younger!

Location is great. Good variety of drink. Shark can be seen here at night

Definitely come here at sunset for a delicious crêpe dinner. You will not be disappointed when you look down in the water and see all the fish and sharks swimming around. The food is really good and the service is spectacular. Everyone here is so friendly and the quality is way up there. Sit back, grab a beer and a great dinner and enjoy the view.

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.

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!

Go for the sharks and atmosphere, food was expensive and not great.

We had the parrotfish and coconut crab as we are avid seafood lovers and wanted to try something new. The coconut crab tasted off and was gritty, a typical texture of previously frozen crab, so we asked the waiter if it was fresh and at first we were assured that it was. Perhaps it was the crab’s texture itself being very different from all the other types of crabs we have tried? Then, we were told by another staff member that it was frozen on the way here. We mentioned it to the staff member and were told that’s just how the crab is. I am aware it’s a premium product, but if it was of such low quality to the point it was sour, it shouldn’t be sold. Sauces were fine. The parrotfish was fried to a crisp and dry, after having it in various other tropical places we now know it isn’t just the fish, it’s the preparation. The sides are good. Both mains were way overpriced for value and not worth it if you know your shellfish.

This little restaurant was a fantastic find. The server (owner?) thoroughly explained the menu and gave excellent recommendations. She could not have been more attentive. She even chased us down to bring us what was left of the bottled water. The food was fabulously prepared. Will definitely dine here again on our next visit.

Garlic butter shrimp with rice and coconut bread shown in photo was good. My partner got tuna curry that was on special. Good flavor, but not spicy, super mild. Friendly staff.

Tried coconut crab for the first time here — and it was absolutely delicious! 🦀 The owner lady was incredibly kind and took the time to explain everything on the menu in detail. The garlic shrimp was also amazing, and she suggested replacing the rice with a fresh salad, which turned out to be a great choice — lighter and super tasty. The whole meal felt almost like a French fine-dining experience, with elegant plating and thoughtful presentation. Yes, the coconut crab is market price, so it’s not cheap — but it’s definitely worth it for such a unique local specialty. The coffee and fresh juice were both excellent too.

My husband and I came here on a whim after seeing all the great reviews. We came about 15 minutes before it opened and had no idea about the reservations but were still met with kindness and were seated immediately. The food here was mouthwatering and delicious! I could honestly kiss the chef of how good it was. I ordered the chicken with shrimp in garlic butter sauce and my husband ordered the wahoo with fries and a side of vanilla cream sauce. The veggies were fantastic and the coconut bread was homemade. If there’s any spot you need to go to it’s this one, so well worth it and so darn good!

Great restaurant with amazing local cuisine. + the grilled mahi mahi and the shrimp/octopus duo were delicious + the offer coconut bread as side dish (in addition to the white rice). The coconut flavor is to die for if you are a huge coconut fan like me + lovely staff and fast service The place was quite busy so I would recommend booking a table in advance, especially if you are a big group. Limited parking spots available at the restaurant.

We have eaten pretty much everywhere on the island and this is the most consistent, amazing food. (at least on this side of the island) The staff is extremely flexible for changes to the order. Guylaine is such a delight and actually comes back to check up on us-which is a rarity on the island. The atmosphere is authentically charming. Just eat here you won’t be disappointed.

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.

A little pricey for Ok small portion food but for a hotel on an island it's not a surprise. Time waiting for food kinda long (20-30 mins). Fruit punch mocktail sucks, taste like cheap bottle juice, super sweet but 1500 XPF.

Really tasty chicken sandwich. Pepperoni pizza. Good cocktails

Food was ok, but nothing out of the ordinary. Same for drinks. Most of the staff was nice and helpful. The roof of the location is a bit too low. If you're not careful you can severely hurt your head.

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

Delicious food. But overpriced by starving Hilton corporate office. Amazing location by the beachfront. $6.5 for coke. 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.

Located with a beautiful view of the water, Taoahere is a wonderful restaurant and visit. The food was incredible!

We went there at 5pm to have a drink. We were told that we need to have also some food, not just drinks. She gave us a menu (standing up) and immediately left us to take care of another couple behind us (without a reservation but wanted to eat) She never came back. So we left. Just rude.

A beautiful setting and very lovely evening. We watched shark cruise by. The poisson cru was enjoyable and marlin perfectly cooked. Sizeable portions. If you want ambiance this is your place!

Ate lunch here and the food was ok. Calamari was frozen, but pizza was good. Really neat atmosphere! Waterfront!

Amazing spot for dinner, the tuna in coconut is lit, and you can see sharkies. Very recommendable.

At our request our captain dropped us off here after snorkeling and swimming. A beautiful ocean front restraunt and one of our favorite meals.

Food was terrible, the burger was not cooked at all, even bloody and fries were cold. Meal was left untouched. Staff didn’t care at all about it and even made me paid for it. Was overrated place.

Favorite restaurant on the island. We are pretty sure the chef was talking bad about us in French, but food was delicious nonetheless. Best burger we had the whole trip, and the poke tuna bowl was beautiful with fresh ingredients to pair that were just as delicious. Potato triangles with burger were somehow to die for too. Tried to come back here but it wasn’t open before we left :(

This place was amazing. My brother and I happened to stop here while cycling the island and it was the best choice we made the whole trip. I DREAM of the burger and salad that I had and have tried to recreate the meal several times, to no avail. I'm pretty sure I would have been happy with whatever was put in front of me--everything we tried was so delicious. All simple ingredients but taken to a whole other level. I'd go back to the island just to eat here. Food, Service, Atmosphere - all 5 stars!

What a hidden gem! Best food on the island by far. Everything was so fresh! We had the steak taco with salad & potatoes, a burger and the tuna taco. The Chef is so humble, you can tell he just loves to cook and decides what that will be on any given day! We found it on our last day, if we had found it on our first it’s the only place we needed! Delicious!

I wish we had found out about this restaurant sooner, the food was better than most of Moorea. The ingredients just taste fresher and the dishes are simply more elevated. You can definitely taste the difference. Small and a bit hard to see off the road, but there is a small parking lot. Takes cash only. The burger was very good. And the poke bowl was equally delicious and fresh. Would definitely recommend.

Grand!! Fantastic food. Lovely cook personality. Our group of four had Budhi bowls with grilled tuna and the special of sage and pork seasoned lentils with 3 sausages. Delicious!! We sat outside in the shade with a breeze. Also, smoothies and beer. And a one minute walk from where we sleep. We will be back.

The food was good, there was no bathroom available, we really wanted to wash our hands before our meal so keep that in mind before going. It's a cash only place, I didn't find anything exceptional here, just regular okay food. We tried the hamburgers and fresh raw fish dish.

Feels very local, there’s souvenir shops next door. The „food truck“ has French influence serving crepes and the food was really delicious. Had a crepe and a poke bowl. Service was fast. Definitely recommended!

I read the reviews and I wondered what our experience would be. I will tell you I was surprised. We had the breakfast a few days and dinner once. Breakfast was good with plenty of options. It is pricing but that is the price for buffet in such an isolated place. Quality was good and options were well displayed. No issues. Dinner: We walked up at opening and was told they have no openings for 30 min. I thought it was odd since they only sat about 4-5 tables before us. I remembered it was a holiday and saw they only had 2 people handling sitting and serving, so bless them for their hard work! We were seated at the given time and our orders were taken promptly, no issue. Food arrived and it was great all around. The Seafood reduction for the parrot fish was Devine. So I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and so did the rest of our party. I know others complained about their food or service but that was not our experience.

Main restaurant of Hilton Hotel, severs breakfast and dinner. The dinner is very disappointing, small and expensive plates with mediocre taste. The breakfast however is pretty good, decent selection of food. Unfortunately they don't replenish the drinks as fast as they should, on mtiple occasions all recipients were empty and there were no more glasses either. Some of the staff might not look as friendly as expected for such a location. Nice view over the sea though, located on the upper floor.

Terrible experience, je ne recommande pas du tout. Voici ma description de notre dîner à 2 couples. Dining Experience: The restaurant experience was perhaps the most disheartening part of our stay. We booked the resort’s ‘gastronomic’ restaurant expecting a culinary highlight. Unfortunately, the reality was underwhelming at best. When we arrived at 8 PM—well within operating hours—the hostess greeted us with visible annoyance, likely because we were among the last guests. The sense of inconvenience only grew when our waitress took our order and then disappeared for the remainder of the evening. Requests for additional drinks or assistance required us to flag down other staff, who were busy preparing to close for the night. When our meals arrived, disappointment turned into disbelief. My order, a special lamb dish with chickpeas, came as a small portion of pulled lamb accompanied by mashed potatoes—no chickpeas in sight. When we asked about this, the waitress informed us they had run out, offering no prior warning or apology. Another member of our group, who has a known intolerance to mussels, ordered a fish dish only to find it contained mussels, with no warning whatsoever. This lack of attention to dietary needs could have been problematic. We were fortunate to spot the issue before it became an unpleasant situation. To add to the chaos, four cockroaches made themselves at home on the restaurant floor. One met its demise under a waiter’s foot, only to remain there as a grim decoration for the next 15 minutes.

Never ate here for dinner. But we had breakfast here every day. The breakfast was exceptional. The pineapple in FP is second to none. If you get there early enough, eat on the balcony for super views with a breeze.

The worst margarita I’ve ever had, Jesus Christ get these people some bartending training

The margaritas are horrible

All the way from England visiting relatives in Tahiti.

We went with a group of 7 without reservations but they fit us in It was busy all night (Monday) so I would suggest reservations We all got different meals but I thought all of them were good The burgers are huge as was the raw tuna. The fish of the day (barracuda) was great. The poke bowls were tasty and filling Happy hour drinks were available until 1830 Friendly service

Pizza was awful. We ended up just having 1 slice each and feeding the rest to the doggies we met along the road. Staff were nice, but took a few stars off because it was the only place on the island that didn’t allow us to bring in our own reusable water bottles that were already filled with water.

Went out to dinner every night for the 7 days we stayed. This was our favorite. Went twice. Food was very tasty!The menu had the most variety, & it was also the lowest priced & open prior to 530pm for dinner.

An awesome restaurant and bar. They have live music on a Saturday night. And it’s got a great vibe. Prices are fair and food is good with large portions. Friendly staff. What more can you ask for. Ohh no reservations required. It’s large and there is plenty of seating.

Fun place on saturday night with music. Food is very tasty with big portions. A lot of locals,which is always a good sign. On peak hours parking can be challenging.

Nice selection of dishes and cocktails. + by far the best cocktails we’ve had on the island. The Moscow mule and the disaronno sour were very good + the sword dish was delicious. Generous portions too

Came here three times during my week in Mo'orea, that’s how good it was! I tried two different pizzas on separate nights, and both were delicious. On another visit, I ordered the shrimp curry, which was packed with flavor. One night we split the chocolate molten lava cake for dessert, and it was absolutely spectacular! Highly recommend stopping by: great food, great atmosphere, and definitely worth a visit (or three).

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this restaurant. They are located at the end of the manava beach resort driveway. They have some of the best fish and chips and great prices. Their service is great and the drinks are cold. They are directly on the lagoon, and there's always awesome music creating a fun atmosphere. Don't miss this place if you're on the island.

Service was slow, but the food and beer were worth the wait. We got the duck and it was fantastic. Locals also enjoy this spot. Cocktails were just okay. Dog was high quality.

Great location for dinner and sunset. Cute very casual restaurant where locals go. Open on Sundays too! Fits was great and in mass quantities. I had the grilled Mahi Mahi and chips! Sooooo good! My hubby had a tuna burger,

Three things: 1) the best sunset near downtown Moorea 2) reasonably priced beer (the local Hinano was our favorite) 3) big servings of fish (daily catch and sashimi) Did we have more gourmet meals at Rudis down the street? Yes, but we came back because the sunset was so good plus friendly staff.

Such a perfect little spot by the beach. The view is absolutely insane — blue water, chill breeze, and locals just living their best life. You can even see the neighborhood kids playing around, which gives the place a really warm vibe. Great for a quick lunch or some snacks while enjoying the ocean view. The owner is super friendly, and everything feels relaxed and genuine.

Absolutely recommend. Was given this recommendation by our water tour and it didn’t disappoint. The shrimp curry and rice was out of this world. Not to mention they were so friendly for visitors and the music was just jamming. 10/10 recommend this place.

This place was recommended by a local resident. We enjoyed the outdoor covered dining area overlooking the ocean. I recommend the fried fish and chips. The fish and chips portion was enough for both of us. We visited a second time and both ordered grilled steak with fries. The steak portion was large and must be eaten right away. As the steak cooled down it became harder to chew. The menu is extensive and the food is served fresh.

Great bar on the resort with good happy hour drinks and prices. The food is ok but the service and views are excellent

(Translated by Google) We came on a Wednesday evening to enjoy happy hour and the dance show. It takes place every Wednesday and Saturday from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. From the bar terrace, you can see it relatively well if you are in front. The spot is also super pleasant at sunset. I didn't find the cocktails transcendent, but for 1100F at Happy hour and with a nice show as a bonus, it was a very pleasant moment. (Original) Nous sommes venus un mercredi soir pour profiter de l'happy hour et du spectacle de danse. Il a lieu tous les mercredis et samedis de 19h30 à 20h30. Depuis la terrasse du bar, on le voit relativement bien si l'on est placé devant. Le spot est aussi super agréable au coucher de soleil. Je n'ai pas trouvé les coktails transcendants, mais pour 1100F à l'Happy hour et avec un joli spectacle en prime, c'était un moment très agréable.

(Translated by Google) We went for dinner, and enjoyed the dance show they do on Saturdays. They didn't have very traditional dishes, but the pizza we ordered was well seasoned although the dough seemed frozen (or at least it wasn't very good). We ordered some feta cheese Paninis, and they were good although small for the price (1500 francs) for a few slices of bread. In general, the space is very pleasant and makes dinner very enjoyable and the waiters are very attentive. (Original) Fuimos a cenar, y disfrutamos del espectáculo de baile que hacen los sábados. No tenían platos muy tradicionales, pero la pizza que pedimos estaba bien condimentada aunque la masa parecía congelada (o al menos no estaba muy buena). Pedimos unos Paninis de queso feta, y estaban buenos aunque poca cantidad para el precio (1500 francos) por unas rebanadas de pan. En general el espacio es muy agradable y hace que la cena sea muy amena y los camareros son muy atentos

(Translated by Google) Bar by the swimming pool of the Manava hotel which serves good dishes and simpler dishes (burgers, pizzas, club sandwiches) from noon to 9:00 p.m. without interruption Pleasant and efficient staff (Original) Bar au bord de la piscine de l'hôtel Manava qui sert de bons plats er des plats plus simples (hamburgers, pizzas, clubs sandwichs) de midi à 21h00 sans interruption Personnel agréable et efficace

(Translated by Google) We had a very good evening, with a Polynesian dance show to close it. The cocktails are good and the tapas too, classic, we haven't tried the rest. (Original) Nous avons passé une très bonne soirée, avec un show de danse polynésienne pour clôturer celle-ci. Les cocktails sont bons et les tapas également, classique, nous n’avons pas testé le reste.

(Translated by Google) Passing through Manava, lunch for 4 adults: 1-Very quality meal 2- What is this amateur service for a hotel of this quality: the two first courses served after 20 minutes, the 3rd only the fries and the 4th waiting..... Finally the last 2 courses served after 40 minutes.!!!!!! The 3rd, fish but no more fries!! 😵 We were served by 6 different people. 🤔 Logic would dictate that the waitress who takes my order then serves me the dishes and no. So it's a mess, everyone takes dishes and doesn't know which table they are intended for. Well finally organization of the service to be reviewed but congratulations to the cook. (Original) De passage au manava, déjeuner pour 4 adultes : 1-Repas très qualitatif 2- C est quoi ce service amateur pour un hôtel de cette qualité : les deux 1er plats servis au bout de 20mn, le 3e uniquement les frites et le 4e en attente..... Finalement les 2derniers plats servis au bout de 40mn.!!!!!! Le 3e, le poisson mais plus de frites !! 😵 Nous avons été servis par 6 personnes différentes. 🤔 La logique voudrait que la serveuse qui prend ma commande me serve ensuite les plats et bien non. Donc c'est le bazar, chacun prend des plats et ne sait pas à quelle table ils sont destinés. Bon enfin organisation du service à revoir mais bravo au cuisinier.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Tahiti Food Tours! Every stop introduced us to new flavors, local favorites, and amazing dishes we never would have discovered on our own. The host was fantastic; warm, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our many questions. We loved the conversations, the insights into daily life, and the chance to learn so much about Tahitian culture while eating some of the best food we’ve had on our trip. This was truly a highlight of our time in Moorea and we can’t recommend it enough! Highly suggest going early in your trip so that you have time to go back to all of your favorite spots.

Our absolute FAVORITE thing on Moorea! Mareva was a wonderful guide through all the different cuisines and how they blend together to make the unique food scene. Stopped at places we would’ve driven by and tried things we wouldn’t have thought to try, everything was delicious, and it gave a fun peek into what island life looks like outside the resorts. We’ve done a lot of food tours and we can’t recommend this one enough!

Unforgettable tour — We left HAPPY and FULL!!! My teenager and I loved this tour so much! After a few days of snorkeling and hiking, it was nice to take a break for a few hours to tour around the island with a local and just EAT and learn about the culture and customs of Mo’orea. The tour was relaxing and low key - no stress! We hit up several stops, but never felt rushed. Besides just eating, it was fun learning about the influences and background behind the foods we were trying. Our guide, Heimata (aka “H”), was the former chef of the USA Olympics Surf Team, and we felt so honored to be learning from the expert! He was truly passionate about food, and his enthusiasm was palpable. We especially loved the fresh local fruits, “snacks”, and sorbet (perfect ending to the tour). Trying all the different varieties of local food was such an enriching experience for us. We will never forget this tour, the foods we ate, and the kindness of H! A++

We highly recommend this food tour! It’s a great way to enjoy some local and traditional dishes. We also appreciated the history bits and the tour guide did a really good job of creating a nice group atmosphere. The day flowed very well, we never felt rushed and we had some rest breaks in between tastings which gave us some time to digest! An added bonus were all the beautiful sceneries along the way.

We were on Moorea this January and had booked a food tour with Tahiti Food Tours as we had seem many good reviews and recommendations for it. Unfortunately, on the day of the tour there was a big, island-wide power outage. Heimata still came to meet us at our hotel as planned and explained to us that the majority of the places we were due to visit would be closed and unable to operate. He offered a full refund or to reschedule (which we were unable to do, due to the popularity of the tour and the fact we had no more free time on Moorea), then he said we could come with him to the ferry port to at least try some fruit and get a bit of the tour information, free-of-charge, before returning us to our hotel. We were disappointed not to be able to do the tour (I'm sure it's very good), but thankful to Heimata for still taking the time to personally come to meet us and take us for a brief trip despite circumstances beyond his control.

Visiting Moorea for a week to celebrate my sister’s birthday and found Tahiti Food Tours. We reached out and the owner, Heimata, was able to squeeze the three of us in for a tour. Booking this tour was hands down one of the best decisions we made! From the moment our tour guide, Mareva, greeted us with her warm smile and welcoming energy, we knew we were in for something special. Mareva is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the island’s rich culture and history, but she also has a true passion for sharing the hidden gems and local flavors of Moorea. Every stop on the tour was delicious and unique — from fresh tropical fruits and traditional French/Chinese/Polynesian dishes to sweet treats we’re still dreaming about. She also gave us guidance on the local products she likes during our shopping breaks. Mareva made the experience so personal and fun, taking the time to explain the stories behind each dish and answering all our questions with joy and insight. It felt more like spending the day with a local friend than a typical tour. We left happy, stuffed, and with a newfound level of appreciation for Tahiti history and culture.

What an amazing experience! Fun, interesting, informative and most importantly very taisty. Heimata totally knows his stuff, we visited different places with a perfect variety of different types of foods and drinks. Do this first thing when you arrive as his recommendations are both valid and insightful. We honestly has a blast and we were a mix of America, Scotland oldish and youngish. A perfect experience for everyone.
