Eating out

Bon appétit !

Bon appétit, Tāmā'a maita'i !

Hungry? Starving? Somewhere between the stalls in Papeete market, the many gastronomic restaurants and the typically Polynesian food trucks, you’re sure to find something to fill that gap!

Le bonheur n'est pas que dans l'assiette

Gourmand and gourmet

A vacation isn’t a vacation if you don’t eat well. But don’t worry, in The Islands of Tahiti you’ll find mouthwatering dishes to satisfy even the most demanding gourmand or gourmet.

And that starts with a meal at a food truck. A veritable institution, where Polynesians love to get together for a delicious poisson cru, chow mein or tasty steak and fries. The food is cheap, the portions are big and the company is warm and friendly. What more could a hungry man ask for? But go early, Polynesians start eating around 18h30.
