Dining

Beachcomber Cafe

Les Mutinés

For a more intimate dinner experience, head to Les Mutinés. Shaped like the hull of a ship to evoke the story of the Mutiny on the Bounty, the interior is all subdued elegance, with sable-colored glass chandeliers and gossamer curtains between the tables. Chef Pierre Lecorne and his expert team offer a gastronomic menu of French specialties with a Polynesian influence. This restaurant includes an extensive, world-class wine cellar in a carefully climate-controlled glass enclosure.

Te Manu

Bob's Bar

Nami

The Brando takes dinner enjoyment to a new level with Nami. Located inside the Beachcomber Café, Nami seats just eight guests and offers a gastronomic menu with meat specialties (“Riku”) and seafood (“Umi”), Japanese desserts and a fine selection of sake and beers from Japan. Chef Kaito Nakamura joined The Brando in 2018, with an impressive resume that includes working as a sushi chef and sous-chef in Tokyo and Paris, and two of Tahiti’s top hotels.

In-Villa Dining

In-Villa dining is the perfect complement to a lazy day. Whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, our team will create a culinary journey for you in the privacy of your villa, villa beach or on your private outdoor deck or fare (covered dining area).
