Practical information : Take a break French Polynesia
Timetable
As for restaurants, a distinction must be made between Tahiti and the islands, or more precisely between destinations with a high tourist influx (Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora in the lead), and the others. The time range of bars and tea rooms - when there are any - is indeed wider in the busiest islands, so that one can eat at any hour or so. The establishments open their doors from 7am in the morning and will be happy to serve you tea, coffee or even more for breakfast. In the afternoon, these same establishments are usually open non-stop for a drink or a cold snack. On some islands, only the big hotels boast a dedicated address for a drink, and another for a delicious sweet treat. On others, there are hardly any bars and tea rooms, so only the corner shop will be able to offer you cold drinks, biscuits and sometimes pastries.
Budget & Tips
For gourmet breaks and alcoholic beverages, expect to pay an average of 1,000 to 2,000 XPF for a cocktail (approx. €8 to €17), 400 to 900 XPF for a draught (approx. €2.50 to €7.50), 500 to 900 XPF for a fresh fruit juice (approx. €4 to €7.50), and 350 to 500 XPF for a coffee (approx. €2.90 to €4.20). In Tahiti, most beer and cocktail bars offer happy hours at the end of the day, usually between 5 and 7 pm.
Age restrictions
As in mainland France, the age of majority is 18 in French Polynesia; this is also the age at which you are allowed to consume alcohol.
What's very local
You can't leave Fenua without: 1. tasting Hinano; 2. sipping a good fresh coconut on the beach; 3. enjoying the fruit flavor of the excellent Rotui juices made in Moorea. If you are a rum lover, the Mana'o Tahiti rum distilleries (made in Tahaa), are also to be discovered. If you prefer wine, don't miss those from the only vineyard in French Polynesia - Vin de Tahiti, made in Rangiroa - or the amazing pineapple wines produced by Manutea in Moorea: a nice surprise.
Kids
Up to a reasonable time in the evening, children are generally accepted in all establishments.
