Au Bout du Monde
An European-style restaurant run by a Belgian owner, featuring Tahitian vanilla tuna and sunset views from the upper terrace.
Located on Policarpo Toro Road, this restaurant blends French, Belgian, and Polynesian flavors, and is described by Imagina Rapa Nui as one of the most European-style restaurants on the island. The signature is the Tahitian vanilla tuna, featuring large chunks of tuna seared only on the surface, alongside tuna tartar, and the Tahitian vanilla crème brûlée is highly recommended for dessert. The upper terrace faces Hanga Vare Vare bay, offering views of the sunset and Moai statues, and is also a prime spot for watching the Tapati festival. It has about 550 reviews on Tripadvisor with a 4.2 rating, and still has new reviews in 2026. Guidebooks recommend it for a romantic dinner; call to confirm operating status.
