It is quite expensive in Tahiti for meals. For example, Breakfast is about $25 per person, $30 for Lunch and about $50-$60 for Dinner. Suprisingly, wine is not that expensive and sometimes cheaper by the glass than it is in the states.

I recommend you purchase meal plans on most islands, except in Moorea. There are so many Restaurants to choose from on Moorea. Right near the Moorea Pearl Resort, with in walking distance, is a local grocery store. You can stock up on fruit ($8/grape bunch) and bread for a light lunch or breakfast. Moorea also offers Te Honu Iti and Le Cocotier for French cuisine, Alfedo's for Italian and Le Mahogany for Chinese.

Bora Bora offers excellent dining in a unique atmosphere. Bloody Mary's, almost an institution on the island, is a bar and restaurant that has seen many international celebrities walk throught its doors. La Bounty serves excellent pizza and Ta Manuata is famous for its fresh tuna dishes served with vanilla, pineapple or coconut sauces.

Upon my return to Tahiti in April, I will give you a review of Bloody Mary's!
