Food in Tahiti - Delicious Delights
By J Gonsalves





Exotic and beautiful, Tahiti is for many, the most idyllic destination in the world. Tropical weather, palm fringed white sand beaches, clear blue skies, and azure lagoons, make this tiny island in the South Pacific, the perfect getaway. If you are looking for a stress-free retreat, come to Tahiti and enjoy a vacation like no other!
While in Tahiti, one of the best ways to experience French Polynesian culture is through the food here. Delicious and tasty, the food in Tahiti gives fine dining a whole new meaning. Fish and seafood reign supreme in the kitchens out here, however, do not be deceived. Tahiti offers plenty of natural produce for the vegetarian and even meat-lovers can find some of the most succulent steaks prepared to perfection. If you wish to sample traditional Polynesian cuisine or maa’a tahiti as it is known, your best bet is to visit the capital Papeete, reputed to have some of the finest restaurants in the world.
Food in Tahiti – Papeete
Papeete is Tahiti’s food capital and is home to a wide variety of gourmet restaurants and first class eateries. Here you can sample everything from fine French cuisine to Chinese, Malay, Vietnamese, Italian and Continental cooking. And though eating out can be quite pricey, you are treated to some truly sublime dishes. A great way to enjoy your an evenings is to try a dinner and dance show, with a buffet fit for a king!
Food in Tahiti – Traditional Fare
When in Tahiti don’t forget to sample the delicious local cuisine which is an amazing experience. Here each mouthful of food is a burst of flavor and freshness, making eating here an experience to truly savor! The food in Tahiti is generally eaten with your fingers, however, you may request for a fork and spoon if you are eating at a food stall. Most dining establishments in Tahiti have western table settings, complete with a fork, spoon and knife.
  

In Tahiti, food is traditionally cooked in an ahimaa or oven, which is a hole dug into the ground. In here the food is placed, usually wrapped in banana leaves, and the hole is then covered with sand to make it airtight. The cooking process can take up to several hours, but it is worth the wait, as the food comes out soft and tender, in many cases literally falling off the bone.
Food in Tahiti – Exotic Fruits
Fruits and vegetables are available easily throughout Tahiti. Some excellent fruits to enjoy here include mangoes, melons, pineapples, watermelons, grapefruits and bananas. Sold in most markets and by vendors all over the island, you will find many locals indulging in a mid-morning fruit snack. Also don’t forget to try out some rambutans, while you are here. They are incredibly delicious. November to April is the best time to buy fresh fruits as it is the summer season.
  

Food in Tahiti – Must try delicacies
Of all the foods in Tahiti, some must try items on the menu are; poisson cru or raw fish and casse-croute, which is a local sandwich. Both these items can be found on the menu of any food stall and snack bar, and should definitely be given a try.
  


Faraoa coco or coconut bread is a mouth-watering dessert worth tasting as is firifiri or donuts, which are shaped like the number eight. A yummy treat, firifiri is best had when dipped with coffee. Poe is perhaps the most famous dessert on the island and is a baked papaya dish wrapped in banana leaves.
