 Fresh Fish, just caught on Moorea by easyoar Les Tipaniers is a restaurant bolted on to a hotel of the same name. They do excellent fresh fish - a Polynesian speciality. The Polynesian deserts are great too with fresh fruit cooked in various ways. By Polynesian standards the prices are quite reasonable too. Service was very friendly, but we did find we had to wait a long time to be served.

 another night in paradise and the nightclub by jennie01, 4 more photos While in papeete we never actually went to any proper resarants !instead we went to the caravans that park every night along the quayside near wgere the ships dock ,sometimes maybe 15 caravans in all !they have the best food ! back here in england i wouldnt think of eating from a caravan but in tahiti its the best ! chez mami is the best for chinese and is the one that stays up late (if you fancy chinese for breakfast after leaving a nightclub at 6 in the morning) but if you want crepes, pizza, steak,burgers or french food this is the place to go, a set up of childrens plastic chairs and table is the norm,and you can bring your own alcohol ! great for watching the people go by ,and a good sign is that the locals dine there in droves ! Raitea -on the quayside again one french restarant and one chinese _excellent food and cocktails but a bit pricey ! Bora Bora -wel you ve got bloody marys but i think that can sometimes be a little to touristy ,and overpriced for what it is ! but you have to go there cos its famous ! the best lace we went to is a little secret called Kaina hut,its not opened at lunch time but in the evening its fantastic !similar to bloody marys with the sand on the floor ! but much nicer and quieter !the decor is very nice with cargo nets and oyster shels dangling everywhere,even the menus and plates are great ! its by far the best food and service here, but again a little pricey (but everything is here !) and then pirates bar is a fab little place,nice food and freindly french guys working there ! and you can sit and eat outside on a terrace and watch as the manta rays !they are not kept there but they are drawn to a spot there ,and they are amazing ,sooo big and gracefull,you could watch them all night !

Very close to the Moorea Ferry port is a little harbour area where you get quite a few street sellers all congregated together. They range from selling Chinese type food to French style crepes (pancakes with either sweet or savoury fillings). It is much cheaper to buy and eat here (most have picnic style tables and chairs) where you can sit and eat your food. I can certainly recommend the crepes - they were excellent!
The crepes - especially the sweet ones! Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: Harbour area near Moorea ferry

 Les Roulottes by Helga67 If you don't want to spend too much money on food, try out "Les roulottes". These are mobile diners usually found near the main road, where you can order a good and cheap meal (depending on what that roulotte is selling). Leave a Comment

 Mahi mahi in coconut-vanilla sauce by Helga67 Don't leave the islands without trying the local style home cooking. The food is usually delicious and inexpensive. Most popular meals consist of rice with chicken or fish (tuna, mahi mahi), coconut milk, curry or vanilla sauce and local vegetables. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalComparison: about average

 Fire-eating in Moorea by easyoar I've got to admit, I have never tried this food, and I am not about to start trying it either. It probably has more kick than the hottest curry you will ever eat! This really belongs in the nightlife/things to do section I suppose, but there's nothing to stop you trying this sort of dish if you are crazy enough, just don't blam mee for any consequences if you do!

 Truck restaurants in the harbour by b1bob On the way back, Lionel gave us a choice of going back to the hotel straightaway or getting off in downtown Papeete, returning later on our own steam. Everybody opted for getting off there. We ate supper in a parking lot full of roulettes (truck-restaurants). I have to give the Tahitians one thing, they sure enough are inventive with their trucks. I chose the truck-restaurant with French food. I had escargots (snails) in herbed butter and served with French bread. Mama and Grandma went to one selling Chinese food. Daddy and my brother went to one selling pizza. I don't know what the rest of our group, or, for that matter the rest of the busload did for supper, except I'm sure Brian Baker of Westminster sought a McDonald's in Tahiti. I felt like shaking a little common sense into the old boy! After supper, it was up to me to flag down a truck to take us to the hotel. I wrote my postcards, stamped them, and turned them into the lobby for Monday mailing.
Because Tahiti is part of French Polynesia, I stopped by the truck serving French food for some escargot. Some folks might think it is great and creative that the locals would make restaurants in the back of trucks, but, at the same time, think ill of it if it were tried in Texas or North Carolina. The truck restaurants are innovative and quite good.

 Poisson cru by Helga67 My favourite dish is Poisson cru à la Tahitienne. It's raw tuna or mahi mahi marinated in lemon juice and coconut milk, with vegetables. You can have it as an appetizer or for lunch. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than average

by AGHIOS BLOODY MARYS IN THE CENTRE OF BORA BORA TRY THE CREPERIE VANS ON THE DOCK ON THE SEAFRONT IN PAPEETE.AND HAVE A MAHI MAHI BURGER ALSO IN BORA BORA,BIT LIKE SWORDFISH OR TUNA BUT IS A LOCAL FISH AND TASTES SUPERB. LIKE A HUGE WOODEN SHACK WITH SAND FOR A FLOOR, THE ROOF WAS MADE OF SOME KIND OF STRAW AND WHILE YOU ARE EATING YOU CAN HEAR THE MICE RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE RAFTERS. ALSO THE LOCALS COME IN AND ENTERTAIN YOU WITH THEIR TRADITIONAL DANCES. THE CREPE VANS IN PAPEETE ARE OPEN TILL ABOUT 3 IN THE MORNING.

by yeah_baby FOOD Bora Bora is rather well touristed, therefore has a number of eating and dining establishments. Choices can be divided between the restaurants at the various hotels and private non hotel related dining. Cuisine ranges from basic island staples like fruits and fish dishes to world class French cuisine. The food is usually delicious, but you may have to sample different restaurants before you find one that suits your taste and budget. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
