Why Travelers Love PAĪ Bistro

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.5 / 5.0(78 reviews)

This was a lucky find! Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Everything I needed! And amazingly, one of the kind ladies that worked there gave me a ride back to my hotel! I don’t think you can expect that every time, but I think it is a very lovely group of people preparing delicious food. My partner and I messaged ahead that we are vegan and the Bistro noted they could accommodate our diet. WOW did they, a tasty starter, amazing main, and one of the best chocolate mouse desserts (they used aquafaba). The wine which was served was fantastic and also vegan!!! Such an amazing night we are already planning on coming back! Cocktails were also great! Food is really good. That atmosphere inside is great. But sitting outside God bless them for trying. But it's in the equivalent of the 2nd story Santa Ana, California strip mall. Not soothing to the eye.

We appreciated the friendly and helpful staff, and the excellent fish plates, which were cooked to perfection, with lovely presentation. The soft background piano music added to the evening atmosphere. The wine selection is great, and includes some special (and expensive!) items. Overall, this was one of the best dinners we have had on Tahiti.

The best fries in Papeete, probably in Polynesia and maybe even in all of the pacific. Haven’t had fries that good for a long time! The rest of the food was excellent too and we were very happy with the wine selection. A great spot to have stumbled upon, will be back for sure.
