Restaurant Honu Iti (Chez Roger)

Frommer's Review

This bayside restaurant is the domain of owner-chef Roger Iqual, who once won the Concours National de la Poêle d'Or (Golden Pot Contest) in Cannes for a sea-bass concoction. The scenic setting beside Cook's Bay is terrific. Roger devotes much of his time now to painting (his works hang on the walls here), but oversees his and wife Sui-Lane's two sons back in the kitchen. They specialize in fresh seafood -- Tuesday and Friday are fresh-tuna days -- prepared in the classical French fashion. Be sure to try the lightly smoked slices of mahimahi or haddock served over a piquant potato salad, or the delicate mahimahi mousse. One note of caution: Although I've had very good meals here, some of my friends on Moorea have not.
