Small intimate setting with warm welcoming Polynesian hospitality. Each dishes are sophisticatedly presented with distinct flavors. Make a reservation if possible as we were lucky to go in right around the opening time and got the last seat. Most people came after us had a reservation. Freshness, flavors, and service all five stars. Like others have mentioned, each dishes are about 3,000 xpf. Truly exceptional culinary experience, the food here was delectable! One of the best meals I’ve ever had, each dish is crafted impeccably and made with fresh and local ingredients. They’re a quaint French Polynesian mom and pop shop with only two people running it so arrive with patience, but this spot is definitely worth the visit. Absolutely delicious! Outstanding meal of our French Polynesia holiday. Everything about this meal was first rate and after being on a Windstar Cruise that was saying something. The flavours and freshness of the food made the shared entree and two mains we ordered a gastronomic experience. The service wasn't impeccable, with the owner explaining in detail all the dishes which we really appreciated as our French is limited. Also had a lovely rose and Sauvignon Blanc to accompany the meal. All at very good prices for the quality. Cannot recommend highly enough

We didn’t like the restaurant. First, it took forever for someone to take our order, and then we waited even longer for the food. The menu was only in French. Out of everything we ordered, the only thing I liked was miso soup with Foie Gras. My fish was terrible—completely inedible! Ron’s duck was okay. We paid $140 for dinner, which is affordable compared to Miami prices, but we honestly regretted going to that restaurant.
