This was definitely the best restaurant on the island. I knew based on the reviews that I wanted to check it out. Unfortunately, I only made it there on my last night. Wish I had went sooner, I would have eaten there every night. Francisco was awesome! Super friendly and very passionate about what he does. My food tasted as... More

Francisco is a one-man-band. He cooks, he waits tables and he said he is continually renovating his space. We sat at the giant table that is almost outside. We both had a kind of red snapper ceviche that was incredible. When I asked Francisco what was in it, he said "love!" I believe him! I had the Shrimp Thai which... More

My wife and I read about Kotaro in the TA postings and decided to give it a try. It is located on the paved road that runs parallel to the airport and we got there just after 4:30PM when they open so we were the only patrons. The chef was very friendly and happily explained the menu to us, asking... More

The place itself is cosy, only seats maybe 15/16 people and feels authentic japanese. The husband and wife team are great and very friendly and helpful. They only serve whatever fresh fish they get for the day. I absolutely loved the food. Would go back again but I only tried it on my last night and I live in London!!!... More

Very cosy restaurant, only 16 places, very friendly, and above all very tasty! We each had a lunch set and where very pleased. Not the kind of restaurant you would expect on easter island! More

After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, I had to find Kotaro, and have dinner there. A fellow single traveler and I went, and I can't say enough about the delicious, fresh seafood dishes they prepare and serve. It's basically a "one man" operation, but his wife will come out to help out, when the crowd appears. After first visit,... More

We sought Kotaro out, having read the previous reviews. We enjoyed the local fish with miso. It was perfectly cooked!!! Francisco, domo arigatou! Thank you so much!!! And, as previous entries have alluded to, the bill is more than reasonable! More

This place is one of the most meaningful spots in terms of restaurants that I have visited on the Easter Island. Great food, great service, quality products. 5 stars are not enough to describe the experience. The only issue that I'd say they need to improve is they're schedule and the volume of the music they play. More

Francisco is the one man show here. His little gem is just wonderful. You feel like you are in Japan. His food is the very best- and we love japanese food. We walk in and he asks us what we are in the mood for. I said Shrimp and my wife said Beef. He then made us some of the... More
