3 different locations on the island to serve you: 1) Le Petit Village shopping center in Haapiti (across from the Club Med), 2) The Temae airport, and 3) the Vaiare ferry dock.

"Cyber Points" & Cafes

The cyber cafe "scene" on Moorea is still pretty prehistoric, however, it's been getting better over the years. What most urbanites and travelers take for granted as "cyber cafes" really haven't existed on any Society Island other than Tahiti (in Papeete) until just recently. Instead, as the internet began to make its mark on these islands, "cyber points" began springing up in random places.

Basically, a society island "cyber point" is a no frills access point to the internet and little else. No ambiance or amenities offered. Many are located in the backs of shops or in some dark room, and have the slowest of slow computers... until recently...

It now seems the cyber cafe bug has hit these islands like it has in every other developing country on earth and the whole scene is quickly improving.

(Finally), Moorea actually has a few GOOD places to get online and surf, check emails, etc, with a little cyber atmosphere mixed in.

RESTAURANTS/ DINING / EATING

Moorea probably has more restaurants than any other Tahitian island besides Tahiti. Dining locations can basically be divided between the restaurants at the various hotels and pensions, and private, non-hotel related dining.

Cuisine ranges from basic island staples like fruits and fish dishes to world class French and international cuisine, prepared by a variety of chefs, some imported directly from Paris!

As with all islands in Tahiti Polynesia, the food is usually delicious, but you may have to sample different restaurants before you find one that suits your taste and budget.

LOCAL & FRENCH CUISINE

Understandably, many of the restaurants on Moorea feature fine French and Tahitian style cooking techniques and dishes.

'LES ROULOTTES"

The family run, local food trucks on Moorea are known as "les Roulettes" as they are on the other islands... This is a generic term meaning "rolling food trucks", and that's exactly what they are... Many local people dine at these trucks for their daily meals. The food is island food. Pure and simple. Economic and tasty, always TST's favorite places to eat!
