Dining in Bora Bora is ultra expensive no matter what you do. Some people can pay $1000/night for an OWB and easily drop $40 each for breakfast and $200-$300 each for dinner. Some of us stay on points and have to watch what we spend on food too. No matter how much you watch your budget, it's going to cost you quite a bit. I would say that the snack shacks and restaurants outside of the IC's are a much better deal. Snack La Bounty was Ok for $15-$20 a person (Pizza, etc.), Bloody Mary's was good too at only $10-$15 each for lunch (Burgers, etc.), and the restaurant at Le Matai (Close to Le Moana) had reasonable food (Good french fries) too. There is a small grocery store in Vaitape or an even smaller store in Matira (About 10minutes walking from Le Moana). You can get some food and sundries at these stores and it is cheaper than eating at restaurants. If you are at Thalasso, going into town can be a pain. We would order a pizza and some fries for dinner a couple nights and that was plenty of food for about $30. If you are staying for a week or so I would consider bringing some snacks with you from the US. If you are a drinker, hit the duty free in LAX on the way. I find Bora Bora enjoyable no matter what you eat. I prefer to save my money and use it for activities like the Shark/Ray feeding tour.
