This restaurant, also known as Chez Roger and/or the Little Turtle, is located at the edge of Cooks Bay in Paopao. We found it to be very quaint and romantic, with a very laid-back atmosphere. With (covered) over-the-water outdoor seating (they call it the terrace), you were able to watch the manta rays and eels play while you ate. That is if you were lucky enough to get a table on the water side.
The staff was very accommodating and offered everyone the same opportunity to get the best table (specific tables are not booked in advance). This was another restaurant that offered a small fee for shuttle service to and from your hotel, provided it was arranged in advance. The kitchen was completely open (which I love), and the inside looked like you had stepped into someone’s kitchen in France.
I had mahimahi and Frank had the steak with madeira sauce – both were very good. We shared a citrus crepe flambé for dessert – quite a show, and delicious as well. They had a great wine list. The service was a nice change from Le Mahogany, as it was quick and efficient.
