A premier restaurant in Bora Bora — Jean-Georges Vongerichten's overwater dining room at the St. Regis, serving French Polynesian-inspired cuisine with extraordinary lagoon and Mount Otemanu views. The signature grilled lobster and Tahitian vanilla-infused desserts are exceptional.
Why It Belongs on the List
The Lagoon Restaurant at the St. Regis is the finest restaurant in Bora Bora — a Jean-Georges Vongerichten concept that brings serious culinary ambition to the island for the first time. The dining room is overwater, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking across the lagoon to Mount Otemanu. The menu draws on French Polynesian ingredients: grilled rock lobster, mahi-mahi with black pearl coulis, tuna tataki with Tahitian lime, Tahitian vanilla crème brûlée. Lunch and dinner; reservations essential; non-guests welcome but must arrive by resort boat. This is the destination restaurant of Bora Bora — the meal you plan your stay around.
