3 Best Restaurants in Raiatea, The Other Islands
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Raiatea right now.
Raiatea has a good selection of restaurants with an across-the-board selection of food ranging from French to Polynesian, Chinese, and Italian. This is a "boatie" or "yachtie" type environment with a number of the better-known dining places clustered around Uturoa's harbor; things can get quite busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Seafood is always outstanding on the menu but the selection should satisfy most diners, though they may find the wine list more constricting. It should perhaps be pointed out that many of the restaurants are as much noted for their outstanding views or sunsets as for the food.
Another way of dining are les roulottes which are found here and on other islands in Polynesia. The name means basically "rolling food trucks" and they supply simple island food, usually on the cheap side. They are a favorite of many locals who either eat at the truck or take the food home.
Club House
$ | Uturoa
Perhaps the largest restaurant in Raiatea, the Club House faces the yacht harbor and is shaded by a thatch-roofed canopy. It's a reasonably priced place that serves a decent breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Regular entertainment on the weekends, and amazing sunset views, are a big draw for guests.
Sea Horse
$ | Uturoa
This Chinese restaurant is a favorite among boaties as it's in the Maritime Complex by the wharf; reservations recommended on the weekends. All the usual Chinese food fare is served up, as well as local dishes, at a reasonable price.
