One of Tahiti's most romantic dining destinations, with fantastic views over the city from 600m atop a hillside. It was being renovated and re-imagined as a 'concept restaurant' when we passed, but it promises to be as stylish as it is gourmet with fusion dishes in a romantic setting.

There will likely be a shuttle, but if you drive, take the first right after the Hamuta Total petrol station in Pira'e east of Pape'ete. The 7km road to the restaurant is steep, winding and rugged towards the top.
