Restaurant Te Honu Iti

Excellent food in an amazing location. Service was a little slow but the shrimp were worth the wait. Sharks swam next to us as we ate. Good for kids. Can’t wait to come back.

What a hidden spot - we made an unplanned stop here & we felt so lucky to take our chance. The food was very tasty, our waiter/chef did a brilliant job & while we enjoyed our dinner, we spotted some rays & sharks right next to our table!

Quaint little off the road restaurant. You almost drive past it without noticing it. We easily got a table water side. The waiter was very nice and the menu was on a blackboard. We ordered the goat cheese salad. It’s the salad photo. The goat cheese is melted on top of a piece of toasted bread. There is a nice tomato sauce on top of the goat cheese. The bread is the croutons really. It was wonderful. Then we had the filet which was done perfectly. We also had the shrimp ravioli. Those raviolis were to die for. Hand made, these three raviolis fill you up. Cooked shrimp fills the hand crimped ravioli thin almost see through pasta. Peas on the outside, cooked vegetables, with a nice salad. The dessert was to top off a perfect dinner. The banana foster is better than I have ever had, even at $600 US a night dinners. The apple pie comes out pie size flat, making it a good size amount to serve two people if you’re already almost full from the meal. Overall, 5 stars! There are only 3 fine dining restaurants in the island and this is one of them! It doesn’t look like a fancy restaurant with marble floors but this pls e is just as good. Trust me! 800+ reviews can’t be wrong!

Read the reviews and decided to check it out… definitely worth coming for dinner and the views! My Son really enjoyed watching for sharks and stingrays while eating dinner. :) The food was fantastic too!!

Delicious meal and top tier views of the bay! We enjoyed our dinner while watching sharks and stingrays swim just feet away. Be sure to stop by during your visit to Moorea!

Happened upon this place and the location is superb, right on the water. You could literally swim or boat up to this restaurant. The quality of food wasn't quite on par with the price, but I suspect the location was the reason. The shrimp and fish were fresh but not as inventive with seasoning, garnishments, and presentation. Overall, solid but not completely unforgettable.

Excellent service, and the food was delicious, especially the scallops! We saw multiple sharks in the water while eating! Highly recommend

Is there an option for more than 5 stars? I never write reviews but Te Honu Iti was one of the coolest experiences of my life and certainly the coolest meal. Food is great- the shrimp with coconut curry was amazing. Service was too. But the real gem in terms of unique experience is the rays and sharks that swim up to the restaurant at night. My sister and I went down some steps to see the rays and sharks up close and they were incredibly social, putting on a total show for us and the other diners. After dinner, we went back to sit and watch the rays and sharks and the waitress brought over some fish to feed the sharks. It was something I never thought I would do and I’m so grateful for the experience on top of a good meal!
