This is an upscale but still casual French beachfront eatery. You should go if you enjoy champagne - they’re really big on it here as you’ll be able to tell from all the decorations. The cocktails and food were a bit overpriced for what it was. I ordered the crispy rice sushi - the rice was soggy, not crispy, and seemed like it was cooked before hand and just sitting out. The fish on top did not seem fresh or tasty. The whole turbot, on the other hand, was quite delicious and buttery. The garlic bread was also tasty.

This is a beautiful restaurant with stunning views. The views are five stars, the food was three stars so the overall average was four. Our pitcher of mojitos was not very good, the food was just ok but you pay the prices for the ambiance. I think they really try but we were just not that impressed with the flavor of our dishes and they were not five star dishes, even though they sounded like they were on the menu.

Although the restaurant was beautiful and the service was great, the food was extremely overpriced. The quality did not match the price at all. I got the lobster Mac and cheese, which should have been a simple dish. However, much of the pasta was uncooked and crunchy, and the dish itself was quite dry and flavorless. It was similar to cheap bar food, but with unjustifiable high prices. I would recommend going to Manuia Grill instead.

Me and my husband both ordered pizzas. We easily could have shared one because they are massive. But they are absolutely delicious and rival even the best pizza joint in the US. The view is unrivaled, and the ambiance is relaxing and casual/upscale without hitting the wallet too hard (if you order the right things). We split a bottle of rose for about $33. Staff don't wear masks (if you care about that sort of thing).

We went for the well known Moorea sunset. The drinks were well made and refreshing. I had a mojito (or three), my companion had a variety of drinks and liked the piña colada best (made with coconut ice cream). The food was exceptional! We had a tuna and wasabi pizzette to start (the favorite eat of the meal). For entrees we enjoyed lobster dumplings in bisque and dover sole- both were very good but the pizzette stole the show.

The best pizza on the island that we had, and we had a lot over our 1 week stay. Highly, highly recommend the pizza. The Ti'Punch was strong and delicious and inexpensive; the holy trinity in my opinion. The views and atmosphere speak for themselves. The service was friendly and prompt. 5⭐️

This is a restaurant that might come close to a Michelin starred restaurant in Southern France. The staff is super friendly and have great recommendations what to pick from the menu in case one cannot decide. The food is just from heaven. Delicious and, prepared perfectly and very nicely presented. They even pick you up from your hotel with one of their busses if you call ahead. If you are deciding to stay on Moorea and you like excellent food, then this is a must go. One last word though: it is definitely not the cheapest restaurant but definitely worth it. And given the overall high prices in French Polynesia, it is no surprise.

So French!! Loved this little spot, and Bruno.... Had a few bottles of wine, enjoyed the sunset and had delicious tuna tartar... Walking distance to our little house... Great time, good food, wonderful service

Came here on two separate occasions, once for standard dinner, once for the sunset menu. The staff is super patient and accommodating, offering advice when you need it, and great at making tweaks based on flavor preferences. This place isn’t cheap, but nothing in FP is, so come here ready to live lavishly and Bruno will reward you. Get the Ti-Punch carafe, as much Tuna tartare and sushi as you can stomach. Thank me later.

We decided to stop 🛑 by for the pizza 🍕! Well that and 4 beers cost 💲 90…. Kinda steep but service and view was good 👍 not a 5 star ⭐️ place for sure….

Our evening at Moorea Beach Cafe was nothing short of magical! This charming restaurant, nestled right on the lagoon, provided the perfect backdrop for a stunning sunset. We were captivated by the beauty of the surroundings as we settled in for a delightful dining experience. The sunset menu was a true culinary delight. The tuna sashimi was incredibly fresh and flavorful, the seafood pizza was a delicious fusion of tastes from the sea, and the steak was cooked to perfection. Each dish was a masterpiece on its own, showcasing the chef’s expertise and dedication to quality ingredients. Save room for dessert because the chocolate lava cake paired with velvety vanilla ice cream was a heavenly indulgence that satisfied our sweet cravings. The combination of warm, gooey chocolate and cold, creamy ice cream was pure bliss. What truly elevated our experience was the exceptional service. The staff at Moorea Beach Cafe were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our evening was memorable. Their warm hospitality made us feel like valued guests, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable evening!

I highly do not recommend this establishment. As an American female physician with a husband who is also an American physician, we haven’t received such poor service in quite some time. Our friends booked a reservation for the restaurant with our hotel, Sofitel. The restaurant sent a shuttle to pick us up. On arrival, the host was upset that we presented as a party of 6 adults, as 2 members felt ill and thus stayed at the hotel. My husband and I ordered non-alcoholic drinks and the server acted upset. 4 adults were planning to eat dinner and 2 dessert and the server told us that we were all required to order entrees. Soon thereafter the manager came to our table and angrily explained that because he sent a shuttle, we were all required to order an entree. As I tried to explain to him that we were not told this at the time the reservation was made, he shouted over me and interrupted me. Due to the extremely awful experience, my husband and I left. Unfortunately this is not an establishment that is obsessed with making money whether you have a good experience or not. There are many other restaurants on the island that offer terrific service that I would recommend.

I had the most wonderful afternoon yesterday at the Moorea Beach Cafe. The pizza was delicious and they were kind enough to make me a special off-menu champagne cocktail (a French 75). The staff were so kind and friendly & the location is fantastic! Ask to be seated in the tables where you are sat on the beach in the water. I would recommend this to anyone staying on Moorea, and are hoping to go back tonight, for the sunset. Top experience of our time in French Polynesia!

We went to this place with my family and im so excited to try their food. I read some bad reviews already prior to going there but i still want to give this place a try. We were seated and greeted by a very friendly lady and my kids said she is really nice. The manager took our order. My kids specifically said that no sauce on both burger but the food came with sauce. They change it and my kids were happy but that did not last long as they cant even eat the burger. I ask them why, they said it doesn't taste beef patty. I tried it myself and i agree with them, i dont even know what the heck is it. My husband and i ordered lobster as we want to have a nice lobster dish and splurge a little. When the order came, the whole lobster is seating on top of a linguine/rice that is tasteless and a bit dry. We also think the lobster was overcooked to be honest. I think with the amount of money we spend, we did not get the meal we paid for. Too expensive! We were expecting that they will do something about the burger so my kids will feel better, but no. We were waiting for the manager to come to us to apologized but he just ignore us. In fact, we had to ask for dessert that comes with the kids menu instead of coming to us and ask. We have some leftover to go and they put in a box and when we get the bill we got charged for the box!!! Wow. We will not come back.

The location for this cafe is perfect and if you are looking for a great sunset spot this is it, as long as the clouds dont ruin it for you. We had a good meal here our only gripe was that the fish was way overcooked. The sauce it was in was delicious. All in all it is a good place to grab a drink, have some food and watch the sunset.

Got dinner for two at this place. Their garlic bread tastes like 3 day old bread toasted, and it comes with pesto sauce rather than garlic. Any house wife could make better garlic bread. Pork belly on cabbage: pork belly tastes good, but cabbage was bitter. For $34 I was served basically pork belly that you expect from a bowl of ramen. Fish of the day, we ordered tuna: nothing deserves the $34 it demands. This place does have a view of the sunset. But there's a lot of street car noise: not a good place to watch sunset.

We had an amazing time during our honeymoon trip at the Moorea Beach Cafe. We were looking for a nice restaurant by the sea and couldn't be more happy when we found this place. The tuna tartar was delicious, highly recommended. They also have tables in the water to have a drink by the beach 🏖️

I really enjoyed our meal here. There is a wide variety of unique dishes. My friends, who had dined here before cautioned that the whole lobster wasn't worth it, so we explored the menu and shared a few things. The pizza with raw tuna and wasabi was fantastic, as was the lobster bisque. The flatbread and greek salad were also really tasty. The tuna with gnocchi was a mixed execution: the gnocchi was delicious with a bit of crunchiness to it, but the tuna was overcooked.

Happened upon this place and the location is superb, right on the water. You could literally swim or boat up to this restaurant. The quality of food wasn't quite on par with the price, but I suspect the location was the reason. The shrimp and fish were fresh but not as inventive with seasoning, garnishments, and presentation. Overall, solid but not completely unforgettable.

Amazing lunch by the water. The food was really great. Fish was very fresh and tasty. The foie gras was very good as well. The staff was very friendly as well. Really liked eating while looking at the fish and sharks.

Great food with amazing views of the bay. Sharks come in at dusk and swim along the deck. Service is quick and friendly

The owner of our VRBO advised we should try this restaurant, so glad he did! Roger was exceptionally kind, service was fantastic... The aquatic "dinner show" was absolutely captivating!! So much sealife just beside you whole you eat! And then the food.... Delicious... I had filet w fois Gras & my sister enjoyed the Mahi & shrimp dumpling.... Just perfect.... Not a mystery why they've been there >40y

We loved our dinner here. I had the Beef stew and my partner had the curry shrimps. Both dishes were great! What really made our night is seeing the nurse sharks and the sting rays swim while eating!

I ate dinner there back in 2010. The steaks we ordered were cooked to perfection. Nice little cozy atmosphere. The restaurant name I was told translates to Little Turtle.

The setting of this restaurant is spectacular for marine life watching, it is right next to the water and you can see sharks and rays under the light. Very cool! The food was decent but more basic than other places we tried in Moorea. Prices were very high for food and drinks. Come here for the marine atmosphere and you won’t be disappointed.

Is there an option for more than 5 stars? I never write reviews but Te Honu Iti was one of the coolest experiences of my life and certainly the coolest meal. Food is great- the shrimp with coconut curry was amazing. Service was too. But the real gem in terms of unique experience is the rays and sharks that swim up to the restaurant at night. My sister and I went down some steps to see the rays and sharks up close and they were incredibly social, putting on a total show for us and the other diners. After dinner, we went back to sit and watch the rays and sharks and the waitress brought over some fish to feed the sharks. It was something I never thought I would do and I’m so grateful for the experience on top of a good meal!

Meals were quite small and expensive. Some staff were not that friendly (waiter). I would recommend booking a table in advance, as there were hardly no tables available in the back section even on a weeknight. We were not that impressed with the meals/service, but the highlight was watching the sharks, stingrays, and fish gather together near the back steps of the restaurant, which was a very unique experience.

This was one of our favorite restaurants during our summer ‘21 trip and remained so during this trip. The staff is warm and welcoming and the live entertainment of the sharks, stingrays, and manta rays makes dinner interesting.

Food was good. Heavy use of the microwave. But flavors were spot on. We had the mahi dumplings, seared tuna, beef stew, and ravioli. We saw a couple sharks and one ray, which was cool. Our problem came at the time for the bill. Once they brought the check they informed us the credit card machine was broken. Luckily we had some cash for the taxi ride home. We looked up the exchange and gave all the cash we had which came out to be more than the check. The server (who was very nice) said her boss said we had to pay more. They wanted to use the island standard of 1 dollar to 100 francs and the actual conversion we would have paid with the card is .91 to 1 franc. So we were actually paying over the bill with the correct conversion. There was some back and forth with the boss, and he very reluctantly agreed to the total, which is good because we didn’t have any more cash since we weren’t planning on paying with cash. So make sure if you go, bring more cash than you think you will need. We were just disappointed that they made us feel like we were trying to cheat them, when we were, in fact, paying over the actual currency exchange, all because their equipment failed.

The chef and owner himself came to pick us up at the Hilton! The food was incredible. Super French and super delicious. Best beef stew outside of France. The duck was a huge portion that tasted just as good as leftovers the next day. Get the bananas flambee!It's to die for. Would recommend!

During our 2-months-stay on Moorea we have been there several times - either for lunch or dinner. Food is of very high quality and prepared to perfection. The wine list is exquisite. For dessert tarte aux pommes is a must-have - it's fresh made (waiting time 15 minutes) and tastes wonderful. Besides the regular menu there are also fresh suggestions to select - they are excellent. Staff is very attentive and friendly and perfect english speaking. Overall the view from the terrace onto the bay is marvellous. In the evening you can watch sharks (nurse sharks and black tips) and stingrays passing by at the waterfront. We will definitely miss the restaurant Te Honu Iti when flying back to Europe end of November.

An amazing experience and the feeling to be at home away from home. Special thanks to Nancy and Bruno who makes this possible. The burgers are finger licking good, the fries to die for and guys they even have Canada Dry!!! As you guess this is very popular place, best to place a reservation because it does fill up quickly. If you miss lunch, there is always dinner at 6pm! Enjoy the Quebec experience in a paradise environment!

The Fish Burger was absolutely fantastic - fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. What I particularly love is the option to order 1 liter of beer in a glass. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.

Quality, price and delicious burgers were over the top. The service was stellar also! Will come back soon!

This restaurant does a wonderful take on a traditional burger. I had the Quebecois burger that included lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheese, and mushrooms along with a delicious burger sauce. Everything was well seasoned, cooked to order and the staff were very kind and accommodating. The only thing to note is that they don't have more than 10-12 tables so if you don't make a reservation or go early for dinner you could be turned away. Otherwise we were very pleased with the meal, the service, and the awesome playlist on the radio 😁

Such a great find! Delicious food and the owner is so nice! I had the double bacon cheeseburger and my friends had the fish burger. Great atmosphere, and a great way to finish the night on this beautiful island. Made this Alaska boy happy and full!

Huge portions! Delicious burgers, fries and salads:) Reservations are really necessary!

Best poutine this side of the equator!! And as a Québecoise myself, it really warmed my heart to have a such an authentic taste of back home🍁 Particularly with the shot of "Sortilège" maple whiskey, what a pleasant surprise!! Hats off to Nancy and the gang, fantastic experience all around. Gonna have to make sure I come back here any time I make it back to French Polynesia!!

Mo'orea's best burgers and salads. I was staying nearby, and this location was ideal for me. The price is a little high, but it is well worth it considering the portion and quality of the products used. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant is only open a few days a week. So, if you don't want to be disappointed, check ahead of time.

The sandwiches I've had are great! I've heard the chicken on the club is tough (overcooked?) but I haven't tried it. The hostess works hard and is friendly. The atmosphere is casual and fun, but not air conditioned. Note that parking is limited but there is more parking across the street. It can take a while to get food at lunchtime because this place is quite popular.

Refused us crepes at 9pm because "the last crepes are served at 8:30pm". This photo was taken at 9:03pm - they were clearly still making crepes... They turned down paying customers for no reason at all.

Beautiful location, loved watching the fish, sharks and sting rays with lights to show underwater. However there were some things that could be better 1) The food was OK to good, but not amazing, especially for the price. 2) The service is slow, and I am pretty sure they forgot about us at one point. 3) Booking in was interesting, as we weren’t staying at the Hilton we were treated in a less than amicable manner. Overall worth visiting for the surroundings but don’t expect a fine dinning.

The hours posted as 0600-2130, 7 days a week are not correct… we wasted our time driving here at 230pm only to be told by front desk staff that it opens for dinner. Call them first, as it doesn’t seem they’re interested in updating the business listing operating hours. Helpful hint - - - CALL FOR A RESERVATION - - - They won’t tell you that you need a reservation until you walk up to the hotel gate where they turn you away! (2nd attempt to visit March 8, 2022) As of now, I wouldn’t eat here if it were giving away food and it was the last food on earth! Customer service is horrible, and I never got to a table!!! COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME! If you want a crepe I’d suggest going to Le Motu Creperie and Pizzeria! (A pizza delivery at the gate of Toatea influenced our decision to visit Le Motu….. excellent service/food at Le Motu!!!)

My wife makes way better crepes at home. Watching sharks and marine life while dining is awesome experience. But the food is a pass. I will have my crepes at home.

Delicious crepes with best marine life viewing area in house! We saw so many black tip sharks and stingrays during dinner. Amazing place to chill out at night.

If you’re staying on Moorea and want to experience the “overwater bungalows” without staying at one, this is the best place to have dinner. You’ll have the opportunity to dine directly over the water and see fish and sharks at night (it’s lit up). I recommend making a reservation, even in the low season, they saved an amazing table for us. Seating is limited if it rains. The food was okay, they do make the crepes fresh but they were not super memorable to us. Service was friendly and more American style.

We make crepes a lot at our home, and these were quite tasty. The dessert crepes were amazing. They also can make gluten free crepes and took extra precaution for “allergy” needs.

I have no doubts that crapes tastes great but hear me out why I think you want to dine in a different place. We’ve made a reservation in advance but when we showed all tables were busy and we were offered seats at the bar, after some arguments we were ushered to the side table with the plastic seats they had to get somewhere to get us seated. 35 min of waiting and no one stopped at our table so we just walked out and had an amazing dinner at the statehouse, 15 min drive, great views and excellent service. Don’t waist your time and just stop by in the evening to watch the fish but dine where you are appreciated as a customer.

This restaurant is on Hilton property. Hours are sporadic and they relocate due to weather. It is located on the pier center between overwater bungalows. Our group thought it strange to make a crepe place a dinner spot. There are only two dinner choices a night at the Hilton. They rotate between three locations and when wind or rain is expected they relocate to the buffet area. I have posted the menu to allow to make a choice if it is right for you. Location is cool at night. It is indoor/outdoor. Mostly outdoor. Most seats are near an edge and often black tip shark are swimming below. The night we had reservations, it relocated to the inside buffet area. As such none of our group could order a fish crepe so we ordered off the other outdoor relocated restaurant menu. It sounds better but not so much. But better than fish in a crepe. After dinner off the other menu we tried dessert crepes. They just didn’t do it for us. We tried the Normandy, Suzette and Bounty between 6 of us. We didn’t finish one. They may be for some and my wife loves crepes, but these did not do it for us. With limited food choices here it’s hard to avoid when you stay for a week. I have read so many other reviews about eating off property and I would have to agree. It may cost more but it tastes better. I also enjoy being out with the locals. In closing my review is on the down side but I must say the staff at this restaurant are pleasant, helpful and always have a smile. They are what make this location.

There are much better places to watch fish, rays and reef sharks while eating! Try Snack Mahana in Moorea, Coco Beach in Moorea, or La Plage de Maui in Tahiti Iti instead. We were seated at an outer table near a guest bungalow with no lighting over the water so our view was very dark. The inner tables were much brighter. We happened to see one eagle ray as we were approaching our seats but then absolutely NO wildlife during dinner. I kept looking down throughout dinner but besides the fact that it was very dark in the water, it did not appear that anything swam past or under us. I realize you can't control wildlife but our experience was nothing like previous reviews. It was also a very windy evening and everyone's plastic menus kept blowing into the ocean. The staff kept blaming customers for losing the menus instead of proactively anchoring the menus! To their credit, they did offer us to move tables to something in the covered area beside the kitchen. This restaurant only opens after sunset so it is naturally very dark if you are not in the inner part of the restaurant. There is a beer happy hour here from 4 to 5 p.m. before sunset. Food and drink were as expected. Our airbnb host made a reservation for us here upon request. We did not stay overnight at the Hilton, but the one thing we do recommend is happy hour drinks on the main bar deck at the hotel facing the sunset. This was however a nice experience to be able to see the property from the perspective of the overwater pontoon. I ate the Papy Claude duck pear Roquefort crepe with a glass of Brut cider. The Roquefort was overpowering. I'm a Hilton Honors member. But I would recommend leaving this property for lunch and dinner whenever possible to experience the real Tahitian food and culture!

If you have to eat at the Hilton, which you have too, lol this is the place to eat. Great French crêpes, savory and dessert. And the best thing about this is you overlooking the lagoon and there’s anywhere from 6 to 10 sharks and various fish that entertain you during dinner. Like no other dining spot on the planet. 10 times better than the other restaurant Raitoui?

Fantastic crepes and ideal setting overlooking the beach. Live traditional Tahitian show as well during dinner. Need to staff a few more people but great experience overall!

Was recommended to try out the crepe by hotel staff. Food was ok but the view of wildlife was amazing.

Really delicious crepes! We loved the savory and the sweet ones we got. Also such a cool venue on top of the water with fish and sharks swimming all around below you!

This is the bar and restaurant at the hotel. All the food I had was pretty good I didn’t have any complaints. What I really enjoyed was their desserts! I ordered a couple different desserts every night of our stay, and had it delivered to the room. Their desserts were amazing

Amazing views. Quite windy on a December 15th 75 degree day. Just had drinks while we were here, but full menu available. Courtesy is not spared by the waiter.

Stopped in for a cocktail and early dinner. We had the Tuna Trio which was nice and the shrimp Curry which was also delicious. The cocktails are very light on alcohol which makes them taste watered down so you might consider ordering a double, they are also quite expensive. I ordered a Gin Fizz which I expected to be flavor packed with whipped egg white foam however it tasted more like a sweet soda water with a splash of gin. The margarita was marginally better only because it was smaller in volume so you could taste the tequila. The setting is nice right on the beach.

Great place to relax after a day filled with local sights and culture. The food is great and desserts are enjoyable. Recommend to everyone who enjoys a good meal at the end of the day.

Considering this is supposed to be a five-star resort, the food is OK. Drinks are anywhere between $20-$30 apiece. Beer and water anywhere from seven to $10 each and you’re looking at between $30-$50 for lunch. The food is OK. The fries always seem to be served cold, yuck. Just a very disappointing experience for what you’re paying. The staff however, is wonderful as is the atmosphere.

This restaurant is inside the Hilton. It’s right on the beach and appears clean. Have eaten there 3 times in a sense. Once on the beach via service, lunch, then dinner. The menu is the same for all meals. The menu seams expansive but lots of substitutions on their part. Flavor is a bit lacking. Prices on some things are a bit crazy. My wife ordered a glass of champagne. It was $26 for a 14ml pour which is about 3/4” on the bottom of a small plastic cup. Not appealing and makes it about 48 pours per bottle. That makes the 750 ml bottle get about 45 pours at 14ml per pour. That means that bottle is over $1000. A bit extreme and the last order of that. Starters were good but nothing exceptional. I ordered a seared tuna. The server brought a plate and said who has the swordfish. I said I ordered the tuna and he replied “ oh this is the tuna.” It was swordfish for sure. We saw a few pasta dishes and pizza. They looked ok but neither in a style we like. I didn’t expect this but had a burger for lunch. Other than a lot of aïoli it was a really good burger. My fife and I could have split it but she ordered a chicken club sandwich that was ok due to the bacon being very chewy. I have critiqued the food a bit and I think I should. Now I want to comment on the staff. ALL are great. They carry a smile in all they do and want to be of good service. I would say the staff is the highlight of this location. We would never go out of our way to come back but tough with few options at this location.

Delicious food. But overpriced by starving Hilton corporate office. Amazing location by the beachfront. $6.5 for coke. It’s painful to discuss the price on the menu. Catch your fish in the lagoon. Eat it raw or grill it in your bungalow.

The only good part of this bar, was that it closed up half way through our stay. Only two beers on tap for Happy Hour, and they were still over priced. It was, by far the SADDEST happy hour I have even seen. One more reason to not stay at the Hilton Moorea. And not a shark to be seen, contrary to every picture that is posted about the bar.

Hotel restaurant was great! Food was fantastic, and overlooking the beach and lagoon for a great view for lunch!

Delicious food, big portions, and great staff and service. Right by the beach with beautiful scenery!

Out of the hotel restaurants I tried (Hilton and Sofitel) this is the best "return of investment", the one that's worth what you're paying. Not too pricey, big portion, and good simple food. We had the cesar salad, burgers, and 2 different pastas (bolognese for me, shrimp and cream for my husband). Good portions, good to very good food.
