Pink Coconut - Faaa

Great food. my group had thunfisch and pizza. Both were excellent as the setting by the docks.

This is a local hunt for the nightlife. I had the pleasure of being brought by some locals I met when visiting papeete. it had this wonderful carefree island vibe we landlords not often experience. the prices were in comparison to the tourist traps we travel to often judge. music and laughing filled the air. as well as the smell of evaporated wodka. tahitian dishes are crazy about someone who never drank alcohol like (Americans would call) a crackhead. but how they say when in rom, right? the landgirl in me was looking for whiskey. No, they only have vodka. everyone. single. flavor. they ignite the alcohol on fire and catch the gasses in a pint glass. if the bartender pulls off the glass, you have to spin the shot with a straw and then inhale the alcohol wing. yeeew.

I was absolutely powdered in pink coconut while I forced the sticks in the local middle school de punaauia to observe my ingwerkind born from wedlock. even the bartender to ignore the commands of the manager to give me the fifth tequila.

Nice place right located right at the water front. Menu was extensive and they had reasonable prices. Food was good with respectable serving sizes. Had a cheese and seafood pasta dish. The prawns were not peeled. Service was ok, but don't go here if your are in a hurry. They take their time bringing you everything including the bill. We got the impression this was a place for locals and they really cater to them. They had a local band playing who was pretty good. This place could be really good if the service had been better.

A very relaxing spot to enjoy the sunset, a drink and a meal. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Cocktail hour is 6-7pm.
