One of the small family snacks clustered around Opareke Market in Pouheva, serving plate lunches and grilled dishes.
Practical
Approximate: placed in Pouheva village ashore of the village anchorage (Soggy Paws waypoint 16°37.6S / 143°34.3W); no source geolocates the building, so walk from the dinghy dock. Named by Soggy Paws among the snacks in the Opareke Market area (with the Opareke Grill Bar). Hours not published. Hamble Warrior (July 2023): the village's few snacks keep different hours and all close by 8pm at the latest; there are no proper bars, and cruisers buy cold beer at the market and sit on the market-square bench or the covered quay shelter. Noonsite (March 2023) reported 'a few restaurants and snack shops'. The commune listed 1 snack-bar and 1 restaurant in 2024, so ask locally which are open. Cash (XPF) is safest.
Best for
A cheap local plate before 8pm
