Bora Bora Maikai Restaurant
Chef Teiva was born in Hawai and grew up in Tahiti. He studied French cuisine in Paris and has an American wife. So there's an American influence on the Polynesian inspired French fusion menu which features steak and seafood. Dishes change daily. Popular ones include the tuna platter, mahi mahi with vanilla sauce, and a tasty hamburger. The chocolate cake and mango & passion fruit cheese cake are tasty. MaiKai's staff can serve good meals for large parties.
Eat
Eating in Bora Bora is known to be expensive, and yes, the imported foods can be pricier than back in your own country. Make the most of the fresh local Polynesian food and visit a local grocery store. Combine that with a dining plan at your Bora Bora resort, and you will save money, as well as have the best eating.
Bora Bora Yacht Club Restaurant
The Bora Bora Yacht Club restaurant in a relaxed lagoon-side setting. The menu offers a wide choice of dishes. Many have a Polynesian focus with a French twist. Their specialty is seafood but if you're hungry for a succulent steak they provide that too. Burgers are popular at lunch time. Main courses are 1.900 XPF/$20 to 2.400 XPF/$25.
Lagoon Restaurant by Jean-Georges
The St. Regis Lagoon is reputed to be one of the best Bora Bora restaurants and strives to offer world class dining, over water, in a stunning ambiance. Go to the bar, before an early dinner, to enjoy the sunset. Unfortunately Lagoon is only open at night so darkness quickly veils the views. You'll have the best experience eating outside on the deck, under the stars, providing the weather makes this possible.
La Villa Mahana
At Villa Mahana, Damien Rinaldo Dovio, a Corsiacan chef de cuisine, offers a superb, gastronomic menu which is served in an arty, romantic setting. He has 6 tables out on the patio and moves them inside during rainy weather.
A 7th table, in a private alcove, looks down on the garden courtyard. Influenced by his origins, Damien imaginatively combines local Polynesian ingredients with exotic spices, to magnify flavors. There's a wide selection of very special gourmet dishes to choose from.
