Where to eat Polynesian food in Easter Island: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Polynesian food in Easter Island, Chile. Located in the South Pacific more than 2,000 miles off the Chilean coast, Easter Island’s not the easiest place to reach. (If you’re interested, the easiest access is by air from Santiago or Tahiti.) But isolation has helped preserve the 1,500-year-old mysterious congregation of volcanic rock sculptures (maoi) that’s the island’s biggest claim to fame. After exploring the unique landscape, relax on an uncrowded beach and ponder one of the most mysterious places on Earth.

10. Au bout du Monde

Restaurant Au Bout du Monde is located in the seaside of Hango Roa. Furnishings and decoration provide a pleasant atmosphere. Service is friendly.The restaurant offers French-Belgian cuisine with local quality food and Chilean wines. We came on a weekday and the restaurant was quiet, a so-so sign. We went for a mussel soup and a sirloin with shrimps accompanied with a good Chilean merlot.The food was well presented and the sirloin of good quality and tasty. The mussel soup was a total disaster. Instead of a soup we were presented a small bowl of moules marinières with some onion rings and served in its cooking liquid.Restaurant Au Bout de Monde is relatively pricey and a good place for anyone who doesnât care about value for money. Stay away from the mussel soup!

We ate at the Dominican Restaurant twice while in Easter Island. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the same thing twice and the second time it came prepared differently from how I had asked, so they took it back with no complaints and brought it back right. Like everywhere else we ate on the island, it took a lot longer than I am accustomed to for the food to come out, but, as I indicated, this was the case everywhere we ate. Just be advised that if you get grumpy like me when you don't eat on time, you should budget extra time for everything to be prepared at all restaurants on the island. Location was great.

We literally just walked into this place after going for an evening stroll at sunset and were pleased to be seated immediately before the sun had gone down completely. Surprisingly, this was the only restaurant where we encountered other Yanks on Easter Island. The restaurant was more full than any of the others we'd eaten at on Easter Island and service lagged a bit because of that (I think they might have been understaffed that night). Didn't really matter what with the sunset and all. The steaks we ordered were cooked perfectly and were very generous in size, making the place a fair value for the diner. Wine was inexpensive (as it is everywhere in Chile) and tasty.

Our guide, who was Rapa Nui herself, recommended Te Ra'ai as the most authentic show and food on Easter Island. It lived up to her referral with lovely island music and terrific food. There are food options for vegetarians. Wine and non-alcoholic drinks accompany the meal, which is served buffet style, The food is cooked in an underground "oven" luau style. There are also salads available. Try the dessert, which is a local treat. The dancers are very energetic and really into giving a good performance. Best thing is they pick you up form your hotel and deliver you back, so you don't have to worry about finding its location as it is a bit out of town. Check for performance times as they alternate nights with other such restaurants on the island.

This restaurant is on the main street. It also offers a folkloric show a few nights during the week. Their menu is extensive and I had the tuna which was very good, but I had the distinct feeling it was yesterdayâs tuna and not that fresh. With a lemonade and a bottle of water, the price came to 33,000 pesos (approx. $44.) This is one of the first things you learn about Rapa Nui -- it is not inexpensive!Food at higher-end restaurants like this one is imaginatively prepared, with good, professional service.

Restaurant Tataku Vave is located somewhat hidden in Caleta Hangu Piko, the small local fisher harbour at the south end of town. The restaurant offers lunch and dinner and has a terrace with a great view of the ocean, especially nice at sunset. Good fish food define its character.The restaurant is open from 11am to 10:30pm and the breezy terrace is just meters from the seashore. Furnishings and decoration provides an easy-going atmosphere. Service is adequate.We came on a late Sunday afternoon in July and the terrace was busy, a good sign. We went for tuna and white fish, accompanied with salad, mashed potatoes, fries and beer. The dishes were well presented. Unfortunately the tuna was uneatable. The white fish, the fries and salad were good.We recommend restaurant Tataku Vava to anyone who seeks OK fish food in a relaxed ambiance and appreciates a great view of the sea.

We enjoyed a very nice meal on the amazing Easter Island, at Makona. Iâd been in email communication with Alejandra for a couple of months to reserve a table for my partnerâs birthday. The meal was delicious; the beers were too and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere as we shared the company of other holiday makers there too. A special birthday dessert was given to us which was a nice touch. Would well recommend the restaurant and its lovely staff.

We booked this before hand since the sunsets were supposed to be quite nice overlooking the Moai at Ahu Tahai. We had a table by the window. Service was a bit slow but the food was good but not exceptional. Service was ok for service since we were in no hurry but there was a very irate gentleman next to us who was very unhappy.It is a bit of a way to go but worth it and it is easier if you have a car.Would recommend it.
