Mara'ai Le Spot (Tubuai)
23° 23.1′ S · 149° 26.6′ W
Tubuai's standout restaurant on the south-east coast near Tamatoa, praised by cruisers for French and Polynesian cooking at lunch and dinner seven days a week.
Practical
Coordinate from OSM ('Mara'ai le spot Tubuai', mapped as chalets). Chugach (Sept 2020): 'The Maa'rai' on the SE side, tel +689 89 73 62 20, open lunch and dinner 7 days, excellent; it is far from the anchorages, so rent a bike or car. Reserve ahead (verify phone and hours locally). Chugach also names Poeni on the south side (not signposted, Friday and Sunday dinner only, grills and raw fish).
