The Moorea List
Five editorial picks, ranked by the only filter that matters: why you are dining.
Restaurant K
Sofitel Kia Ora's beach-front fine-dining flagship — chef Guillaume Burlion's tasting kitchen with a candle-lit driftwood-and-shell setting and a sand floor.
Pure
Sofitel Kia Ora's casual sister to Restaurant K — Pure's panoramic lagoon view with the canonical evening Polynesian dance shows.
Moorea Pearl
Moorea Pearl Resort's chef-driven flagship — Pascal Bionaz's gastronomic Polynesian-French programme and the most decorated kitchen on the island.
Te Honu Iti
Cook's Bay water-balcony institution — Te Honu Iti's terrace where rays and sharks swim up to the diners, with Polynesian-French local-seafood cooking.
Le Lézard Jaune
Moorea's modern-Tahitian café institution — Le Lézard Jaune's blend of local Tahitian vibes with modern touches, with a deliberately wide menu range.
