Top French Polynesia Cooking Classes

We really enjoyed our time and experience at the Food&CookLab during a stop in Moorea of our cruise. Stevenson, Audrey and Therese were the best hosts you can imagine! Stevenson took us through the history and diversity of Tahitian cuisine leveraging local ingredients and influence. From there and together with other guests we put together a delicious traditional Tahitian festive which was a lot of fun. Stevenson is an encyclopedia on many topics including cooking which made our group experience even more enjoyable. We learned a lot. The meal we put together was out of this world and full of flavor with quality ingredients. I would recommend this activity to anyone who wants to experience the authentic Tahitian food culture.

Very beautiful experience with Stevenson as our guide who shared the culinary richness of his island with us. After we all participated in the preparation of several recipes, we gathered around a large table to savor an excellent meal. A big thank you to him and his entire team, it was a real treat.

A great experience for the entire family. A great host, setting and a wonderful culinary experience.

My family and I LOVED this cooking class!!!! We had so much fun getting to know the local cuisine in a hands-on way, especially cracking the coconut open and making fresh coconut milk. The food was delicious and so fresh. The instructor gave us good directions and made the whole process very easy. Plus, the home is beautiful and a quick taxi ride from the moorea ferry port (we took a ferry from Tahiti). The host was very responsive to email, and the arrival instructions were easy to follow. This became a highlight of our vacation, and we excitedly talked about our experience with many people we met. This is 100% worth the money and time, regardless of how experienced of a cook you are.

Best experience ever! We caught three fish and hooked a shark and a huge bonito. Kenzo is incredibly friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and made the whole experience truly unforgettable.

A magnificent day with Kenzo, who is very professional and attentive. He is very attentive and gives excellent advice. He had us practice 4 types of fishing in superb locations. I recommend 👏👏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

An immersion with Hervé the real Polynesian life We loved this day Really beyond our expectations An experience to live imperatively This is the excursion not to be missed Simple spiritual realist One of our most beautiful days in Polynesia Thank you Hervé for such an intense sharing 😍

We had the most magical day learning about Polynesian culture and Tahitian cooking while making new friends from other parts of the world. Audrey and Stevenson were so welcoming and shared all their wonderful knowledge. It was so lovely to spend time in the lush garden and learn about different crops and share a meal with other travellers to this beautiful island. I highly recommend this experience.

I highly recommend this experience! Cooking local, delicious food in a beautiful setting was one of the highlights of our trip to Moorea. Our teenage girls loved being involved in the meal prep and extracting the milk from the coconuts. Our guide was warm, welcoming and spoke perfect English so we were able to learn a lot about the local food and way of life. 10/10!

Absolutely amazing experience. We did a cruise and stopped in Moorea and booked with Cool Destinations. We were able to get a cab from the cruise port and It was about 30 mins away. She has a gorgeous house and the food we made was incredible. 15/10 experience and would do It again every time!

May be the best experience on Mo'orea. Stevenson and Audrey are sensational hosts for three reasons. 1. So welcoming. We were a French and English speaking group which they navigated with ease. By the end when we all sat down to share our meal and language was no longer a barrier. 2. They shared not only their talents in cooking local dishes, but involved everyone - kids and adults were chopping, mixing, and prepping banana leaves over an open flame with trust and care. 3. You eat like a king! This may be the best value for money in all of French Polynesia. A full history/culture lesson about the ingredients (like bread fruit, coconuts, and tuna (aka Ahi/Thon). And lunch is a multi course meal, with poisson cru, ahi, marlin, ipo (coconut bread), coconut chips, toasted breadfruit, and finished with banana poi. Seriously delicious and you get all the recipes! 10/10 highly recommend. Even if you're staying in Tahiti coming to Mo'orea just for this experience is totally worth it.

We had an excellent day with a fishing professional; we highly recommend it.

It was a fantastic trip. Captain Kenzo did everything possible to catch us a big fish, which we requested. He modified the meal experience at our request and we kept fishing and ate on the boat. The food was delicious and he had fresh coconuts as well as juice and water. My husband caught an over 5 foot shark which we released back after getting some great pictures in the water. While my husband really enjoyed the fight, Kenzo jumped in to help when my husband requested assistance in the middle. I would highly recommend this experience. Please understand that he will adjust the experience for your comfort and experience level.

Wonderful activity. Stevenson is a charming host, full of information about Moorean food, plants and culture. The cooking was fun and the food was delicious. Top recommendation.

Stevenson and Audrey were amazing, showed us the farming plants and how to make over 5 Polynesian dishes, and sent the recipes. Loved making the Poisson Cru and coconut bread.

Great experience for families. The cooking lesson and the cultural exchange was exactly what I was looking for. The hosts were wonderful.
