May 19, 2020 Marissa Gamble

Discover Restaurants offering the best Polynesian food in Moorea, Society Islands, French Polynesia. 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.

Manuia Grill

Reviewed By Jason G

Located across the street from the Manava resort this is definitely a nice alternative to consider for dinner (or a good option even if you’re staying elsewhere). Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, vibe is chill, and staff are friendly. Can’t ask for anything more.

Le Coco D'Isle

Reviewed By chris45ny

My husband and I had dinner here on 5/22/18. We received complimentary pick up/drop off provided by the restaurant. There were 2 other couples from our resort that came with us. Set pick up time was 6:30 PM. This is a very casual, laid back place which suits us as my husband hates having to get dressy for dinners while on vacation. One of our traditions is that on every trip we have pizza. We've been surprised with great pizza in very unlikely places like Peru and Cambodia for example. I should mention that my husband and I are very critical of pizza as I think his homemade pizza is the best. I had read some good reviews of the pizza from this place so that's what we were here for.The decor was eclectic and the floor was sand-nice touch. It was also very busy. Our server was friendly and did a great job without being obtrusive. Service was spot on. We started with drinks. Hinano beer and a Blue Lagoon. Yummy on that Blue Lagoon. Not only was it pretty to look at but it tasted good too!My husband and I were going to share. We ordered the chicken caesar salad. Huge portion. More than enough for the 2 of us and it was delicious. Loved the pineapple touches as pineapple is one of my favorite fruits. Got the margherita pizza which was just tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Nothing fancy. While we prefer our crust very thin & crispy this pizza did have a fairly thin crust but not crispy enough for our tastes. It was very good though and better than expected. Saw lots of other tables with pizza. Had a hard time finishing everything. There was plenty of food and no room for dessert.Cost without tip was $45.45. Credit cards accepted. This place had a nice, homey atmosphere. The service and the food we had were excellent. We'd return.

Rudy's

Reviewed By 265rebeccak

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!

position on small motu and view is amazing, Little bit behind our expectation. We didn't expect luxury beach restaurant, but some cheap elements surprised us (tables, cleanness, ice bucket for wine with just little ice that 50€ bottle was just 10% in cold and rest on sun..). But place has vibe and definitely you need to visit.

The locals told us about this place, and the food was excellent, and a great value, considering the prices at the regular restaurants.

Reviewed By Jason G

We got there when they opened on a Tuesday and by the time we finished eating the place was packed. When we arrived they asked if we had a reservation (which we didn't), but I guess it's popular enough that if you're worried about time, you can go that route. Menu isn't very expansive, but everything is tasty, and you can't beat the views. Also, cash only and just park along the edge of the main road.

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!
