EAT
You can go broke eating in this town. There are some fine restaurants but expect to pay US$30 for a hamburger.
There are a lot of midrange places where you can expect to pay US$25-30 for your whole meal. French is well represented here. There is also a conveyor belt sushi place that's very good, and the chefs are quite friendly there.
The best deal in town is the food trucks that set up shop every evening in the big square in the waterfront park. Every day they begin setting up around dusk. Chinese, French, and Tahitian cuisine are all well represented. You can get chow mein, poisson cru, crepes, ice cream, and of course this is France so everything comes with bread. Expect to pay about US$15 for your whole meal.
