Moana Nui - Thuir

Not what we expected from the reviews. Set menus at €22 each incl glass of wine and a coffee. Plates were mean in size, the theme being ' the Pacific '. All starters were easy salads, small but tasty. The main courses consisted of a chicken...and rice dish, a beef chow mein and a fish dish we didn 't like the sound of! No alternative menu for children. The chicken dish came out completely raw and was sent back and was changed quickly for an alternative tho no apology made and no bill reduction. Dessert OK. Friendly enough service though very slow: arrived 7.30 and no drink order for almost half an hour. Good entertainment though by 'Philache ' singing English and American songs. Expensive for what it was and raw chicken inexcusable. We wouldn 't recommend the food.

Since this was rated the no 1 restaurant on tripadvisor in thuir, it was very underwhelming. the service and the people were beautiful. the set menu was 29 €, which we thought was expensive for what we got and we were offered an aperitif that...out to €8 above this. it was a nice experience and something else, but going to eat and the aromen do not think this is the best restaurant in thuir. we were the only people in there, not locals to lunch.

Brilliant food featuring weekly food themes from around the world. Excellent, friendly service in a cosy atmosphere. Well worth the two minute walk from the centre of Thuir. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant, with a selection of food from around the world. The menu changes each week and we are treated to 3 new destinations and typical cuisine from that region. When we were there it was Sri Lanka, Martinique and Italy. Our group tried everything...from the menu and we were all delighted with every dish. We have already recommended Moana Nui to our friends and will definitely be going again. The service was great and we were happily surprised when we got the bill.

Very good food. Very imaginative dishes. A menu that changes frequently. Good value for money. Vegetarians are very well served.
