Tahiti and its islands blend the flavors of Europe, Polynesia and Asia to create spellbinding dishes. Each island has its own culinary secrets and uses their ingredients subtly. In traditional Polynesian cuisine, tropical tastes are mixed with splashes from Southeast Asia and the charms and refinement of France.

Fish, the king of the table, is prepared in a variety of ways, like steamed, wrapped in leaves, with coconut or herbs. Lobster is cooked on the grill and accompanied by delicate sauces and seafood is presented with an array of side dishes.

Tahitian cuisine is a delight and is always enjoyed amid the most magnificent scenery. We have selected some of the best places to discover this refined gastronomy.
