The world's largest coral reef eco-system actually consists of 3,000 separate reefs. The island of Moorea serves as the perfect base camp for snorkelers and scuba divers seeking to come face-to-face with the diversity of life that darts among the coral. Non-swimmers can enjoy the same parade of astounding creatures from the dry perch of a glass-bottomed boat. Formed when half of a monolithic volcano crumbled to the blue-green sea, Moorea is an achingly exquisite heart-shaped island that is simply paradise found.

We stayed at the Intercontinental for 5 nights and enjoyed multiple meals (breakfast, lunch and dinners) at the hotel's various restaurants. Each time, we were impressed with the service, as well as the presentation and flavors of each dish! As such, I guess our expectations were high, when we made a reservation for a fine-dining dinner at the Shell Restaurant. Unfortunately, the food just fell short this time...The service, as was typical of our Resort dining experiences throughout our stay, was top notch! The servers were attentive, prompt and always friendly! The restaurant decor was high quality in appearance; close, personal, intimate and romantic in nature. Sadly, the only menu item that met/exceeded expectations was the absolutely delicious shrimp ravioli. The lobster medallions were presented beautifully but just didn't taste quite as good as they looked. The scallops were nothing to brag about and lacked flavor. The tuna filet was the real disappointment, as it was very tough, dry and overcooked. I' hope that the kitchen was maybe just having an "off-night", but we never ate at this particular spot again during our stay, so I can't be certain.Dear Guests,Thanks for sharing your impressions following your meals at The Shell. Rest assured that your comments will enable us to further improve our Restaurant.It is with pleasure that I will pass your compliments at our staff.We sincerely hope to welcome you back one day in our Establishment.With my best regards,

We were told about this place by locals and it did not disappoint. It is fine French dining in a very small setting. The owner picked us up from our bungalow. The dining experience was excellent as we watched a beautiful sunset in Cook's Bay and enjoyed seeing the sharks and sting rays swim beside the restaurant. The owner has lit the water and will feed them so they come to hang out. I had the Mahi Mahi plate and it was excellent. My aunt had the ravioli and loved it. Prices start at $33.00 a plate and it was an excellent experience. You need to call ahead for reservations as there are limited tables - 15 I believe. The waiter was wonderful and the food was delicious. The owner's cat will also make appearances. I was excited to see that as she happened to look exactly like my cat. All in all, it was a wonderful experience with the restaurant and I highly recommend it.

When it comes to meals in French Polynesia, steak would not be the first thing that comes to mind...but, if you are craving a NYC steakhouse quality meal, Holy Steak House on Moorea is THE place to go! Situated on "the mountainside" of the main road that circles Moorea, a glance across the way from any seat in the house, gives diners a spectacular view of the south Pacific where it meets the lagoon in front of the Intercontinental Hotel. If you are there for dinner you will behold a magnificent sunset for sure! Food for your eyes, all before your palate gets a taste!Libations are yummy and the food! In typical steakhouse fashion, things are a la carte, although they do offer a combination meal.We went 2 times, I had filet mignon and NY strip. Both steaks were delicious and cooked to perfection. I added 2 sides each time and with a cocktail plus gratuity we were out the door for under 50 USD/ person. A great deal indeed!The staff is attentive, service is prompt, but you do not feel rushed. The ambience is over the top. We did not have reservations either time, and if you want a seat outside along the rail for dinner/ sunset I recommend calling to reserve. When we went for a late lunch our 2nd visit, it was no problem being seated outside (4pm).

It's tough to select a restaurant after a busy, fun-filled day on Moorea! We chose Rudy's based on reviews. Rudy's picked us up from our hotel promptly. The restaurant is intimate and uncomplicated. The staff was SO welcoming and friendly! My husband tried the Parrotfish and it was delicious! I ordered a steak and it was also delicious. We saved room for dessert, lava cake and crepes, and were glad we did. After a delightful meal, the shuttle took us right back to our hotel. A perfect ending to a wonderful Moorea day!

We all really enjoyed our food which was interesting and tasty, with good vegetarian and gluten free options. The service was really good and so was the selection of drinks. The atmosphere was good too, except for one thing, the TV which was showing promotional videos. It was distracting and not what you'd expect in such an otherwise great restaurant.

Food in Moorea is expensive!! It was refreshing to find this place - reasonable prices (other places will easily charge you 2x as much for the same thing) good portions and tasty fish burgers. We came back on a couple of occasions. Only wish it was open for dinner!
