Why Travelers Love Restaurant Te

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.3 / 5.0(211 reviews)

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. 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!

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.
