Japanese with Mediterranean influences
Tapasake — Menu & Prices
One&Only Reethi Rah · Over-water
Tapasake is One&Only Reethi Rah's over-water Japanese restaurant, its name a fusion of Spanish "tapas" and Japanese "sake" that signals a sharing-plate concept built around premium sushi and sashimi, teppanyaki, robata grilling and small plates with Mediterranean accents. The sprawling complex by Jean-Michel Gathy is among the largest overwater dining spaces in the Maldives, with a see-through wine cellar and glass-floor panels over the reef. The kitchen, associated with a Michelin-starred chef, leans on Maldivian and sustainability-certified catch alongside imported luxuries like otoro, king crab and A5 Wagyu. Expect to graze widely rather than order a single main.
