Best restaurant in Town

This is by far the best restaurant in the little town of Vaitape. Easily reached by boat, taxi or by foot. Awesome,fresh food with an adjacent bakery that offers something deliscious for everyone. You will find here a very kind, courteous and knowledgeable staff that...treats you like family. Most all of them speak english well which helps beautifully in a french speaking nation. I love the ambiance, in which you eat your food and I have experienced nothing but kindness and bliss while visiting this beautiful restaurant. They also offer a sweet happy hour with deliscious cocktails by the sea and one feels truly at home visiting this very well managed restaurant. 5 stars all the way, come see, eat, enjoy, you will not regret it and remember it forever.More

Best upscale food option in Bora Bora

We spent a couple weeks in Bora Bora and out of all the restaurants we tried both in and outside hotels, we enjoyed the food here the most. Reasonable portions with local ingredients paired with a solid wine list!

Best food in Bora Bora! Was

Best food in Bora Bora! Was so good we went twice! Once for lunch and once for dinner. Amazing view at night or day. There are multiple tours that go there or it is not far from Vaitape pier also. Antony was fantastic. Service was...excellent. Reasonably priced French wine. From what I understand is very popular with both the locals and tourists. Highly recommend the cheese plate and the chicken dish (I know who orders chicken in the tropics but was recommended to us and was amazing).More

Outstanding food

From the drinks, to the starter, up to the main dish without forgetting the desert, every bit was outstandingly delicious. I would really recommend the St James Bora Bora if you wish to have a quality time on this magical Island. Also, the staff is...as qualified as the quality of the food. 5 stars isn't even enough.More

40th Anniversary Trip to Bora Bora

We had rented an electric vehicle, and toured the Island on our own. We had seen reviews on the St. James, and stopped for lunch there... in our bathing suits! We were welcomed and had a seat directly in front of the lagoon. We feasted...on the best FRESH lobster we have ever eaten! The lobster had just been caught and delivered to the St. James. We picked them out while they were alive! So good, the service was wonderful!More

Stunning sunset views and fantastic food

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Bora Bora! We had stunning sunset views, fantastic food and the owner was so much fun! One of the best things is you can be as dressed up or as casual as you want. I love to dress...up but you will feel just as at home in shorts. Many were. There is a side bar with dining and a sandy beach floor if you want a more casual beachy vibe. We loved everything about this restaurantMore

Best meal in Bora Bora!

Everything here is excellent! My fiancé eat out a lot and were thoroughly impressed with this restaurant. The presentation of the food was creative and artistic, the flavors complementary and complex and the wine list was impressive. The staff here were extraordinarily attentive. We were...given detailed descriptions of the menu choices and a great wine pairing each dish. Definitely come check this place out!More

This was the best meal by

This was the best meal by far we had while staying in Bora Bora and we were at the Conrad. The owner, staff and service was amazing. We were referred by one of the guys (sorry I can’t remember his name) from vitamin sea. He...was great calling and setting up our reservation with the restaurant. Well worth the trip over to Bora Bora from the Conrad.More
