The Roof is on pilings over the lagoon at the southeastern end of Anse Vata Beach.
There is a hole in the center of the restaurant looking down into the water. Some friends of mine had dinner there one evening and said the fish were swarming under the restaurant. Then they discovered why - a dolphin was looking for dinner there, too and the fish were attempting to hide. My friends said they were entertained for over an hour by the frisky dolphin. Oh, and they said the food was scrumptious.

In the heart of Noumea's CBD, the Best Café is part of the Best Western Le Paris Hotel. Reservations really are not needed, this is a place to stop for a snack or a drink at the bar during your shopping in town.
It is a street-side cafe where you can watch Noumea go by - although at lunch time very few people are anywhere but in the restaurants.
Try the garlic shrimps (crevettes à l'ail) - yummy.
