Our VBRO hostess, Nathalie, vouched for Bloody Mary's, a Bora Bora institution since 1979. Make a reservation, she advised. So we did. We were treated to an open air restaurant built out of bamboo and thatch, with sand for a floor.
Two excellent Polynesian musicians completed the vibe.
I had their signature Bloody Mary cocktail (spicy!) to start and then we were ushered to a ice bed displaying the catch of the day, plus fresh meats from New Zealand. Once you make your selection, they grill it up for you. We both selected mahi mahi that was then cooked in coconut milk in a foil packet. Quite delicious.
We also left a souvenir of our visit with the restaurant. My sister Alyce gifts me $2 bills every birthday, and I decided to add my $2 to the wall of dollars (and a few British pounds).
The bulletin board was a good four feet by twelve feet. That's a lot of dollars.
