Faaite Snack-Bar (Hitianau)

16° 42.2′ S · 145° 21.4′ W · approximate

Hitianau's only working snack-bar, the one place in the village to buy a simple cooked meal.

Practical

Coordinate approximate: village centre (OpenStreetMap); the snack is not mapped, so ask at a magasin. The 2021 government sheet lists '1 Snack (fermé), 1 Snack-bar', so one has closed and one operates. It also records zero drinks licences on Faaite, so don't expect to buy beer or wine. No cruiser report gives hours or menu. Expect lunch-time opening, simple Polynesian plates, cash only (XPF; there is no ATM). The village is small enough to walk around in 30 minutes (BoatNews 2022).
