Top 12 best restaurants in Nouméa

Located at the end of the pier and perched on stilts, Le Roof is the ideal location if you enjoy breathtaking views. Whether lunch in the sunshine or dinner lit up by a colourful sunset, this restaurant offers an idyllic setting.

Le Roof offers local Caledonian produce, including seafood, the house speciality. We particularly enjoyed the attentive service and the delicious chocolate fondant, the perfect sweet note to end the meal.

On a stroll through the heart of the city, the unmissable place for lunch  is, without doubt, Le Pandanus. This snack bar with a casual atmosphere offers an authentic  Caledonian culinary experience with regularly changing menus and ideas.

On our last visit, Steven opted for the parrot fish accompanied by coconut rice: delicious! Created to ensure fast service without compromising on the quality of the ingredients, which are all fresh and well-selected.

Only open for lunch, Le Pandanus is ideal if you want to treat yourself to tasty and balanced food between activities. It offers a wonderful insight into the country’s cuisine, and every bite draws you in to the soul of New Caledonia.

Le Faré, located in the heart of the Le Méridien Hotel Nouméa Resort & Spa and blending perfectly into the outstanding setting of Anse-Vata, invites you to enjoy a relaxed beachside dining experience.

Le Faré is renowned for its privileged location right on the beach, with an outdoor deck where every table enjoys a spectacular sea view. This spot is ideal if you want to enjoy a meal while listening to the gentle sound of the waves.

From the colourful salads, to the light starters and the tasty hot dishes, there’s something for everyone. The snacks available throughout the day are perfect if you’re not too hungry.

Steven and I made the most of this getaway to take a dip in the pool and soak up the sun on the comfy sunbeds at Le Méridien. The nearby water sports add a touch of adventure to the relaxing experience.

When the call of Western America resonates all the way to New Caledonia, it leads you to the Texas Grill. Do you love tasty meat and an authentic atmosphere? You’ll enjoy the feast of tender, perfectly seasoned grilled meats.

It’s not just steak lovers who’ll find something to their liking here; fish and prawns are also on the menu. The plates are plentiful and always served with a smile.

Good to know: Fancy some meat in the middle of the afternoon? The Texas Grill is open 7 days a week from 11.30am to 10.30pm.
