Great local seafood selection, if your in the middle if the pacific and expecting the best cheese burger ever, your going to be disappointed. If you want fresh local caught seafood this a great spot. We were there as the local fisherman dropped off two huge Mahi Mahi they just caught an hour ago, doesn't get much fresher than that!

We went today for lunch. Initially we were considering trying their pizza but when we asked were told they had no pizza today. We then turned our attention to their pannini's and tried ordering their Chicken Mexican which normally comes with guacamole and was then advised they had no guacamole. We eventually settled on a couple of pannini's they could... More

If you are in Bora Bora and you go to the island for the day, you must stop at Aloe Café. The staff isn't the warmest even for me who speaks French like a Parisian, but they warm up. You've got the best tartar of tuna, poisson taithian and more! A great spot.

I had a really yummy burger and my husband a nice salad and beer. They were very fast and friendly service. The free wifi was a real plus when you are travelling to make contact with the world back home. Good value for Bora Bora standards.

There aren't a whole lot of options for casual and affordable sit-down lunches in Vaitape so this was a good fallback option for us. My husband enjoyed his burger and pizza and I was happy with the caprese and veggie paninis, good fries and always delicious Hinano beer. Husband recommends that if you like your meat medium-well, better ask for... More

Not many options in Vaitape but this looked "local" and interesting. It wasn't. The waitress was somewhat unconcerned and the quality of the food was mediocre. Not worth the effort unless you're ready for a simple "fill me up now" experience.

This place had good food at a good price. If you are trying to shop on the mainland, I suggest doing it before you eat, because if you wait until after, the stores will be closed.

Went here for lunch after pearl shopping, wasn't expecting much from this little cafe but the food ended up really good! We ordered the Japanese fish burger and the white wine mussels, both were very good and the price are relatively cheap. Service was good, our overall experience is great. Will go again if we have the chance :)

The Aloe Cafe was our go to breakfast stop. The fresh ahi tuna wasn't bad either. Although there was absolutely no eggs the entire 10 days we were in Bora Bora, the chocolate croissants surely made up for it. The staff was friendly.
