Top choice in Mo'orea
This friendly eatery with a casual atmosphere has an idyllic setting on Motu Tiahura that is guaranteed to help you switch to ‘relax’ mode. The choice is limited and prices are a bit inflated, but the food is fresh and tasty – the octopus salad will certainly win your heart. Bookings are essential on weekends. Cash only.
You can get a boat over to the motu from the mainland (700 CFP per person return) – call ahead.
