There is a delectable array of fresh fish and exotic fruits and vegetables with a Polynesian influence and unmistakable French flair. Parrot fish, ahi, mahi-mahi and other fresh fish are divine in a light sauce made with Tahiti's famous vanilla beans. Selected Polynesian specialties are available daily in addition to continental menus.

Numerous French, Chinese and Tahitian restaurants can be found throughout the islands, mostly on Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora. And, of course, there's gourmet picnics on offshore islets, snacks in outdoor cafes, and succulent traditional feasts.
