The perfect eating places in Waikiki
Finest poke bowl: Poke Repair
We had SO a lot sushi and poke bowls whereas we had been there, however our very favourite is Poke Repair. The menu adjustments primarily based on what’s caught recent every day, and the seasoned alternatives are marinated to perfection. They honestly deal with poke like a murals; it’s by far the most effective poke bowl of my life.
Finest Acai bowl: ALO Cafe
All the pieces is made recent in home, together with their peanut butter. I really like these acai bowls as a result of the bottom isn’t too candy, they’ve gluten-free granola, and the ratio of acai to toppings is right. Additionally they have great smoothies!
Finest date night time or fancier dinner spot: A Home With no Key
That is in all probability in my high 10 resturants ever, together with the entire locations we’ve traveled. All the pieces is recent, vibrant, and you may’t beat the surroundings. You’re open air, going through the ocean and an beautiful sprawling tree, which supplies a little bit of shade for the stay music and hula dancers.
Household dinner spots: Tommy Bahama or Duke’s
We ate at each every time we had been in Waikiki. I like that Tommy Bahama provides one other menu the place every little thing is made in home, together with the sauces, salsas, and marinades. Additionally they supply from native farms at any time when doable. Their mai tais are my favourite on the island!
Duke’s has a legit salad bar which you’ll be able to add onto your meal for $9 (on the time of posting). Additionally they have a whole lot of recent and native choices, together with poke tacos (the women’ fave), ginger and scallion fish (my fave), steak, and extra informal fare, like burgers and pulled pork sandwiches.
Our favourite fast chunk and breakfast spot: Duke’s Market
From what we might inform, there aren’t a whole lot of *conventional* breakfast spots (with issues like eggs, bacon, pancakes, and so on.), however as a substitute, we went into Duke’s Market every morning, the place the women obtained malasadas (the most effective donuts!), masubi or fried rice and egg bowls, we shared a fruit bowl, and I drank an almond milk decaf latte. This was additionally an important place to load up on seashore snacks, like recent fruit bowls, sushi, drinks, sandwiches, smoothies, and so on. They’ve just about every little thing at Duke’s Market.
For wholesome informal fare: Nalu
We had Nalu twice this previous time as a result of it was so good, and my physique was grateful for a vegetable to go together with the entire sushi and mai tais I’d consumed. I had the rainbow salad with rooster twice, and the women additionally cherished their sandwiches and acai bowls. They’ve an enormous menu of salads, acai bowls, smoothies, wraps, and sandwiches, and I positively need to return and check out extra issues! (Additionally, the entire desserts are gluten-free!)
Finest udon noodles: Marukame Udon
This place is consistently packed – the lined wraps down the road from the time they open till they shut!- however our greatest tip is to order it on-line after which choose up on the pickup window to the suitable of the doorway! The ladies LOVE this udon place.
Stunning spotlight: the gluten-free mochi butter cake on the seashore
A lady got here as much as us on the seashore carrying a big tray of packaged truffles. When she informed me the primary choice was gluten-free and it smelled DELICIOUS, I fortunately paid the $10 to eat mochi cake from a stranger lol. (She informed me she makes it recent each day and I might see households round us additionally having fun with it, so I went for it.)
The household and I shared it, and we ended up shopping for it from her two extra instances! I can attest that this mochi butter cake is LEGIT. She additionally sells Filipino meals throughout the day, together with rooster and shredded beef with noodles.
And now after ending this publish, my abdomen is formally growling 😉
