Ronald's Snack (Hao)

18° 6.5′ S · 140° 54.5′ W · approximate

A hard-to-spot snack in a blue house kitty-corner to the mairie, praised for cheap pizza by the slice and a warm, English-speaking host.

Practical

Feb 2019 report (Nehenehe): pizza about US$1 a slice and the best-priced meals the crew had seen; open for lunch and dinner. It is an older report, so check that it is still operating. Two other snacks were reported but not detailed: Snack Maria, on the street across from the church toward the ocean reef, and Snack Bogosse, beyond Magasin Otepa and reportedly open for lunch. Position approximate: placed at the Otepa main quay, about 100 m NE of the anchoring spots cruisers logged just off the wharf (Soggy Paws compendium); the exact building was not located on a map. The commune's 2019 profile counts 8 snacks and 1 pizzeria on Hao, so there are more options than cruiser reports name; ask in the village.
