4.5 / 5.0(141 reviews)

This is a lovely place with lovely hosts. I had the shrimp curry and my wife had the Tuna. Both were delicious, now please don’t come here expecting a curry as you would get around Asia, come with an open mind and you won’t be disappointed. To the reviewer complaining about vegetarian nasi goreng, you need to grow up, it’s not the hosts fault and you shouldn’t complain about pricing … if you don’t like what available or on the menu then walk away rather than leaving 1* review - you’re on a remote island and the world doesn’t revolve around you. Anyway, if you’re as attractive to sand flies as I am - then be sure to spray some insect repellent before visiting. Highly recommended! Staying at the Hilton Moorea for our honeymoon - this was a very short walk for lunch and it was the best meal we had in Tahiti. The tuna burger was fresh, beyond perfectly seasoned and cooked - the French fries were unreal. The Thai salad was refreshing and would recommend that as well as a main dish. The chocolate mousse was fine dining. Please note it is a cash only establishment. Must do 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 My family of 6 went to the restaurant hungry and ready to enjoy a great meal. It was hard to get into with parking not quite available, our food took a long time to prepare, and then my meal was eaten by a chicken that jumped on the table. I asked for another sandwich, and I was refused because the owner indicated I had eaten the sandwich. I barely had one bite and had divided the sandwich with my Mom. I hope they realize that treating every customer like they are valuable is important!

We just love this place: very peaceful setting al fresco, food is a mix of Asia inspired dishes and local ones. Excellent desserts! The managers are very friendly and always available for a chat .

Food truck by a nice garden, with lots of coconut trees in front and not far from the Hilton. Overpriced like everywhere else on the island and the portions are not big. I had the Poisson cru, which was basically some raw fish in coconut sauce. But it was lacking salt, and could use a lot more kick of spice like capsicum and some herbs like coriander, basil, mint for spring onions. The owners are super friendly and the place has a nice vibe, but you will end up hungry after your meal.
