I booked reservations 8 months in advance really hoping to secure a wonderful dining experince while in Bora Bora. My husband and I were really looking forward to this evening. Because we were staying at a hotel off the main island we had to take a ferry over each night to get to all the restaurants. This was fun actually,... More

The fois gras was the best I ever had.They even let me substitute the Pairing Port for my whiskey of choice (I choose the Lagavulin Distillers edition :) Definitely a must on your list to do if you are on your honeymoon.

Villa Mahana was a dream. It's a small, intimate place with nice lighting and only a few outdoor tables. The attention is superb, it's only the chef and two really nice women! We had the epicurean meal with wine pairing... HEAVEN ! Every dish was so tasty, well presented, and excellently paired with delicious wines. This was easily one of... More

I really struggled between given three or four stars. The food was good, not great and at $300/person ($600 for two) for the Epicurion tasting plus the wine paring it needed to be great. To be clear I am fine paying for a very expensive meal when the meal is to rave about. We are from Philadelphia and have had... More

My wife and I chose to spend one of our last nights here largely based on reviews here on tripadvisor.

On our evening we went with the French 'tasting' and... More

EVERYTHING is wonderful. The simple salad dressing is magic. The tuna, the potatoes, the tasting menu is a must, either one will thrill your palate. We went twice and crave more.

I think Chef Damien spikes his food with love!!! I had the lobster and prawn risotto and my husband had the tenderloin with gnocchi and we shared a bottle of Pinot (can't remember the label but it was lovely). Both meals were excellent as expected from previous reviewers. Portions are HUGE! That tenderloin was big enough to feed three people... More

We dined at La Villa Mahana and had the pleasure of enjoying the 'top table'-which was an amazingly romantic spot with no one else around. The exotique multi-course menu was fantastic, all of the flavors were amazing and the food perfectly prepared and presented. The ahi tuna appetizer was most delicious, as was the tenderloin. The molten chocolate cake for... More

Let me start by saying I had read many, many reviews about La Villa Mahana and my wife and I decided to take the plunge and spend the $$$$$ to eat here. I knew that we would spend tons of money for this place but also decided that it would be worth it considering the reviews I had read. I... More
