Beachcomber Cafe

Beachcomber Cafe offers exceptional lagoon and ocean views, whether you decide to dine indoors or on the beach. Dishes include a varied menu of Polynesian-inspired dishes alongside classic French cuisine.

At this restaurant and our other dining venues you will enjoy the freshest of ingredients. Every day, our chef selects for the day’s dishes organically grown fruits and vegetables from our own gardens and orchards. These may include mangos, papayas, tomatoes, green beans, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, avocados, breadfruit, bananas, limes, watermelon and more. And our fish and shellfish are from Polynesian waters.

Les Mutinés

For a more intimate dinner experience, head to Les Mutinés. Shaped like the hull of a ship to evoke the story of the Mutiny on the Bounty, the interior is all subdued elegance, with sable-colored glass chandeliers and gossamer curtains between the tables. Chef Pierre Lecorne and his expert team offer a gastronomic menu of French specialties with a Polynesian influence.

This restaurant includes an extensive, world-class wine cellar in a carefully climate-controlled glass enclosure.

Te Manu

Te Manu Bar

Located on the second floor, this open-air bar features spectacular views of the lagoon, distant motus and sunsets. In addition to the main lounge, there are several private tree-level seating areas that can be reached on walkways through the palm canopy.

Bob's Bar

This is a very casual setting on the beach for conversation and making friends. The bar is named for Marlon Brando’s factotum (assistant) on film sets. At the end of many days, Brando and Bob would wind up at the bar for long talks. Eventually the bar at Marlon Brando’s lodge, Tetiaora Village, became known as Bob’s Bar. Our Bob’s Bar has retained the original bar from the lodge Brando built. We have kept the name in honor of Bob and all others who have worked, and continue to work, anonymously to bring Brando’s visions to life.

Vegan option

A vegan menu, designed by the renowned Chef Kelvin Au-Ieong, is also available at Les Mutinés fine dining restaurant, the Beachcomber Café, and for in-room dining.

Nami

The Brando takes dinner enjoyment to a new level with Nami. Located inside the Beachcomber Café, Nami seats just eight guests and offers a gastronomic menu with meat specialties (“Riku”) and seafood (“Umi”), Japanese desserts and a fine selection of sake and beers from Japan.

Chef Kaito Nakamura joined The Brando in 2018, with an impressive resume that includes working as a sushi chef and sous-chef in Tokyo and Paris, and two of Tahiti’s top hotels.
