Discover the famous Food Trucks in downtown Papeete !

In French Polynesia, a food truck is called a “roulotte“. Delicious food, rapid service and reasonably priced menus make food trucks the favorite restaurants of the local population.

Originally roulottes were mobile restaurants which catered for laborers, close to their worksite. Now they are a veritable institution and can be found throughout The Islands of Tahiti. Usually located close to the main roads, the atmosphere is friendly and you can have anything from a light snack to a full three course meal. Polynesians eat early and the roulottes usually open from about 18h30. Poisson cru, chow mein, steak with fries, pizza, crepes, hamburgers… there’s something for everybody. Don’t hesitate to ask the locals what they recommend.
