Snack de la Marina
A local favourite that serves excellent, fresh food in massive portions. Light eaters can order single fish brochettes (300 CFP each) or big side orders of salad, fries and more (also 300 CFP each). For dessert try hot delicious gaufres (Belgian-style waffles; from 400 CFP) with a choice of sweet toppings.

Au Jardin des Îsles
For fruit and veggies stop at this roadside stall which has a selection of imported fruit like apples (around 580 CFP per kilo) and some other produce from around French Polynesia and Rangiroa. They’re not exactly giving the food away but prices are only marginally more expensive than in Pape’ete.

Although there’s nothing out of the ordinary on the menu and the roadside setting isn’t spectacular, travellers and locals rave about the excellent food here. A big portrait of Obelix inspires you to stuff your belly.

Pizzeria Filipo
This is a great little place right near Rangiroa Lodge. The food is delicious (try the daily specials for around 1200 CFP); the pizzas are huge, and the whole place is as clean as a whistle.
