Come and experience the modern local street food culture with Orama, as she will immerse your foodie taste buds around the Papeete municipal market and city surroundings. “Matete” means Market in Tahitian, where locals go to shop for seasonal fruits, vegetables, and fish. We will visit local vendors and taste authentic local food, such as seasonal fruits, snacks, fish dishes, juices to name a few of the delicious tastings from the three main culinary cultures: Tahitian, Chinese and French. You will experience a minimum of 10-12 tastings, depending on the season and/or availability.

We will also be visiting a few historical sites of Papeete city.

I offer you a delicious culinary escapade in the image and taste of my love for Papeete, the city where I was born. An immersion in my life in Tahiti, the island where I was born and flourished as a Polynesian and citizen of the world. We will start with a typical breakfast, seated around our famous raw fish in coconut milk. Then, it is to the rhythm of all our tastings (minimum 10) that I will guide you through the city, its history and its flavors. I will show you the addresses that mark my daily life: from the famous Papeete market to the little hidden gems that are close to my heart. Throughout this morning together, we will explore and celebrate the vibrant culinary culture of Papeete, the flavors, stories and characters behind everything we will taste together. From local specialties, to snacks from my childhood, to modern street food, Papeete will not leave you hungry!
