Frommer's Recommended

Assuming the owners haven't taken leave of their senses and moved this restaurant across the road, it will still be sitting almost over the sand, with a great view southward along Avea Beach. It's a charmer, with a thatch-lined ceiling and tables hewn from tree trunks. Lunchtime sandwiches include a "Killer" baguette loaded with grilled fish and french fries (yes, in the sandwich) under your choice of vanilla or other sauces. For my money, this is a good place to sample Tahitian treats such as fafa ru (chicken with taro leaves in coconut cream), or sample different dishes on a Polynesian platter. Ask for a menu in English if the friendly staff doesn't figure you out first.
