Bloody Mary’s, entertaining tourists since it opened in 1979, is one of those Bora Bora experiences that simply must be done. The ambience is beach-bar hip, with sand floors, colored lights, and coconut stools in a dining room under a thatched roof and surrounded by tropical foliage. Even if you don’t eat here, at least come for a cocktail to experience the vibe and mingle with the crowd of local pension, or guesthouse, owners, visiting celebrities, and other travelers. The food’s quite good, too: Fresh fish, seafood, and meats are grilled, American-barbecue style, with tasty results.

The food isn’t necessarily the point here — although the fresh grilled fish is quite tasty. What matters is the fun: the signs outside touting the celebrities (from The Carpenters to the Kardashians) who’ve dropped by since 1970, the sand floor, the signature cocktails, and the kitschy Polynesian décor. Open for lunch and dinner.
