Te Moana.
Set directly on the Hanga Roa waterfront, Te Moana is a reliable staple for those seeking a balance of Polynesian flavors and contemporary Chilean technique. The outdoor terrace offers some of the best sunset views in town, looking out over the harbor where surfers and sea turtles often share the water. The menu prioritizes the island's daily catch, with the tuna ceviche and ginger-infused fish dishes serving as the primary draw. Beyond the seafood, the kitchen produces solid pastas and steaks, though the atmosphere—characterized by live Rapa Nui music on select evenings and a constant ocean breeze—is what truly defines the experience. It is a casual, airy spot that feels tethered to the rhythm of the island, making it an ideal post-exploration retreat for a Pisco Sour and local sashimi.
