Snack Jojo

French Polynesia


It’s hardly haute cuisine at this modest joint, but the fine choice of sandwiches (from 400 CFP) alongside the mainstream Tahitian dishes provide easy midday or evening fuel. The owners also rent a spacious, well-appointed bungalow (one/two people including half-board 9900/15,000 CFP) at the back of the property, right on the water's edge (but there's no beach). Credit cards are accepted.
