Le Mayflower

Mo'orea


The G-spot for local gourmands. A neoclassical French menu puts the emphasis on fish and meat dishes with the addition of locally grown (or caught) ingredients. The signature dish? Lobster ravioli. Thanks to subdued lighting and elegant furnishings, it manages to be atmospheric and snug despite its location on the main road. Free pick-up.
