Lagoon Restaurant at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort

Best dining experience of our life! God’s glory was on display with the beautiful mountain and the sunset breath taking. Service was top notch. So many flavor bombs. The angus beef was the best I ever had. All the fish dishes were delicate and refined. Parrot fish was awesome. The desserts were amazing.

We made a dining reservation a few months in advance of our trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary. One of us had the six course meal with wine pairing and the other the four course meal. We thought all of the food was delicious. The service was very good. We would definitely recommend for a special occasion. This is a formal dining experience however we noted that many guests were dressed in formal attire.

I liked the concept of see-through glass floor but the water was honestly not that clear so you can’t see the fish. The food was amazing! Their truffle brioche croissant bread is baked to the right amount of crispness and had the strong aroma of truffle. I also enjoyed the prawn three way and liked the unique pairing of mango and the shrimp. The fish (both raw and cooked) tasted fabulous very tender and fresh. I also liked the dessert cheeses and how wide the selection was.

First of all, I want to express my sincere gratitude to every single staff member at the restaurant. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everyone was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive it truly made each visit special. We dined here three times during our stay. Each time, we arrived about 30 minutes early to enjoy a drink at Bar 727 on the pier, soaking in the breathtaking views before heading into the restaurant. Every cocktail at the bar was carefully crafted, from presentation to ingredients, perfectly capturing the island vibe. Now, onto the restaurant and the food itself: The menu is well-curated not too large, which we actually prefer. When we dine at restaurants, we usually start with the à la carte menu before moving on to the signature tasting, so this time we focused on à la carte selections. STARTERS: The Tahitian Ahi Tuna in coconut milk from Bora Bora was a highlight. The combination of flavors elevated the already delicate tuna into something that quite literally melts in your mouth. The Tahitian shrimp in three steps had an interesting presentation, but for us, it wasn’t surprising while shrimp are considered a delicacy here due to limited local production, to us it was just… shrimp. What truly stood out was the Tahitian farmhouse cheese plate, especially the blue cheese ice cream absolutely incredible and unexpected. MAIN COURSES: As an octopus lover, I couldn’t resist trying the Polynesian Octopus. While not the best I’ve had in my life (I’m admittedly quite spoiled), it was still very good. One night, the Catch of the Day was moonfish something I had never tried before. That dish alone was worth the visit. The flavor and texture were unlike anything else, almost like a fish-steak hybrid. We also tried The Angus Beef, The Veal, and on the third day, the chef prepared a special pork dish just for us even though it wasn’t on the menu. That thoughtful gesture truly touched us. Out of everything, The Angus Beef stole the show. The way it was cooked honestly, I’m out of words. You just have to experience it. Special mention goes to The Chef’s Truffle Mashed Potatoes an absolute must-try! DESSERTS: All three evenings, I ended my meal with the Dame Blanche. I’m a chocolate lover, and this was the perfect finale pure bliss. Last but not least, a heartfelt thank-you to our sommelier, who helped us select wines that matched our picky palates perfectly. Can’t wait for our next visit to embark on a culinary journey with the signature tasting menu! P.S. I’d like to say a few words in defense of the chef regarding some of the negative comments about portion sizes. I don’t want to sound like a snob, but restaurants like this are not about filling up they’re about tasting, discovering, and experiencing something new and extraordinary. For us, that moment came with the moonfish and the blue cheese ice cream. Even though we’ve dined at many Michelin-starred restaurants, it’s rare to not only find such unique ingredients but also to see them paired and prepared with such precision that’s where the true talent of the chef shines through. Of course, not every dining experience is for everyone my own parents, for example, don’t really enjoy this kind of fine dining and prefer more traditional, familiar food. And to the credit of the resort, there’s a great selection of restaurants each evening that cater to a wide range of tastes. But please, don’t diminish the chef’s work. What’s being done here deserves appreciation.

Beautiful setting on the lagoon with an incredible view of the island and lagoon. The service was outstanding and the food was quite good except for one dish. With 11 people we got to try most of the menu. The lagoon fish was so good. The shrimp was very good. The beef was not so good with one person comparing it to his mom's pot roast from 1980 (not a good comparison) however one person in our party thought it was really good. So definitely find out for yourself.
