Chez Lili
Snack Chez Lili
A family-run eatery by the Ohotu wharf, ranked No. 1 in Rangiroa on TripAdvisor. The owner, Lili, brings Malagasy spices to Polynesian fish dishes.
Located at the eastern tip of Avatoru, beside the Ohotu wharf and close to Tiputa Pass, so it is an easy stop after diving or dolphin watching. The owner, Lili, is from Madagascar. The menu is written on a blackboard by the door and changes with the day's supplies. Common dishes include coconut-curry fish, sausage stew, grilled tuna with Roquefort sauce and battered fried mahi-mahi, and locals also come here often. Lunch is the main service. Dinner usually requires calling ahead, and the owner decides whether to open. Some visitors report irregular hours and slow service. TripAdvisor lists it as mid-range. An earlier diner recorded about 1,500 CFP francs for a fish burger with fries.
Opening hours
Sources conflict: a third-party listing gives Tue–Sun 11:30–14:00, with dinner by advance phone reservation. Hours are irregular, so call +689 87 32 42 50 before visiting.
