Maikai Bora Bora

Top choice in Bora Bora

LoginSave

This highly rated eatery offers excellent Polynesian cuisine with a refined twist, savoured in a vast and stylish dining room overlooking the lagoon (but only a few tables have lagoon views). Prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality of the fare. On the northern outskirts of Vaitape. Free shuttle at dinner.

Everything's pretty good, but if you want a recommendation, go for the outstanding beef fillet with homemade mashed potatoes. Something sweet to finish? Try the luscious chocolate mousse.
