Le Roof
A stilt restaurant at the end of the pier at Anse Vata, Nouméa's only overwater restaurant, known for its sea views, sunsets and seafood. It's ideal for an anniversary dinner.
Built on stilts at the end of the long pier over Anse Vata bay, Le Roof is Nouméa's only overwater restaurant. It faces Palm Beach and is close to the major hotels. An opening in the middle of the floor lets you watch fish swimming below, and diners often spot small reef sharks and sometimes dolphins. The menu focuses on seafood and French dishes; the crispy prawns, chocolate lava cake and poached pears are recommended. It serves lunch and dinner daily. Prices are high, and reviews generally say you're paying for the setting, while the food and service are less consistent. Book ahead for sunset.
