The Four Seasons has three restaurants. We never sat at the Sunset Bar, but I believe they all three offer dishes from the same menu. The Tere Nui was the main restaurant and where breakfast was served every day, unless you ate in your room. Breakfast was a buffet which offered egg dishes, meats, potatoes, french toast, waffles, fresh fruits, and an assortment of pastries, plus a lot of other things I didn't even get to try. Every morning they served a 'juice of the day'. Freshly blended shakes of mango, pineapple, coconut, kiwi, or whatever else got thrown into the mix. I really liked the carrot-ginger-guava. Or something like that. They also brought a full carafe of coffee or tea.
We had lunch in the restaurant once.
A watermelon and feta salad,
Ahi tuna with mashed bread fruit.
Then we had lunch by the pool,
And lunch on the beach,
And lunch at the bar
On Thursdays they offer a barbecue with everything from lobster to curry chicken, to lamb. Along with grilled vegetables and fruit.
And for desssert an assortment of treats. I chose the creme brule and it was heavenly.
My favorite lunch was the shrimp pita with cilantro and french fries, or salad. I liked the fries. Crispy and hot. I ordered it four times.
And then of course there are the drinks. The bartender was from France and had worked at three other Four Seasons across the globe
before coming to Bora Bora. He was very good at what he did, and it was fun to sit at the bar and watch him work, effortlessly turning out his wonderful creations all the while conversing fluently in French, then English, shake it a few times, then add a flower and there it was. Sometimes he would have extra after mixing a drink and would us pour us shots of whatever it was he'd just blended up. A fun way to try drinks.
The Mai Tai was very good.
The fancy coconut one was very good. The blue one that I can't remember the name for was very good. Maybe it was the Shark Bite?
But my favorite was the kiwi mojito, which, when they bring it to you in the pool on a hot day after a snorkel, is just about the best thing.
And don't forget to try the local drinks.
Vin de Tahiti- a local wine from grapes grown on Ragiroa. I would have liked to go to the vineyard, but again. Next time.
And the local beer, Hinano.
