Even if I'm not staying at Hotel Kaveka, I come in for Moorea's best mahimahi burger and the terrific view of Cook's Bay from its overwater restaurant. Pizzas, pastas, Chinese stir-fries, and French steaks and chicken are inferior to the fish burgers, but they are good value nonetheless, especially considering the view. A portable bar rolls out on the hotel's pier, making it a great place to watch the sunset (from this vantage, it disappears into the sea, but also paints the mountains surrounding Cook's Bay with a phenomenal array of colors). A Tahitian string band usually performs here during dinner on Friday and Saturday.
