Pura Vida Moorea

French Polynesia People and Culture

"A pandemic-born food truck rooted in hyperlocal sourcing and seasonality: the chef grows basil, chili peppers and tomatoes and supplements what she can’t raise with produce from Moorea farmers, adding seasonal items such as fried pumpkin to poke bowls and pineapple to fish tacos. Standout preparations noted by visitors include a carpaccio of tuna with mango and ginger and a house-made kombucha fermented with local honey." - Jeff Chu Jeff Chu Jeff Chu is an editor-at-large at Travel + Leisure.
