I looked through my "Hidden Tahiti" guidebook, and could not find reference to any restaurants close to the ICB. A reference or two on www.tahiti-explorer.com to the fact that there aren't any. Looks like the roulottes are for you, or cafes in downtown Papeete, if you get there. You can use the "Le Truck" system to get there, it's really cheap, although you can decide if it's worth it in the heat. Have a look at the a la carte prices at various eating places when you arrive, I'm betting you can make out just fine at the hotel, especially with breakfast and Saturday lunch included. Just don't order too many pina coladas, I shudder to think what a drink costs. The local beer, Hinano, is quite good if you like a cold one. You might even find a supermarket near the hotel, maybe you could buy beer there--if you do, buy some french bread--it's the real thing, and about the only thing in Tahiti that's cheap. :rolleyes:
