The perfect eating places in Waikiki
Finest poke bowl: Poke Repair
We had SO a lot sushi and poke bowls whereas we have been there, however our very favourite is Poke Repair. The menu adjustments based mostly 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 one of the best poke bowl of my life.
Finest Acai bowl: ALO Cafe
Every thing 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 good. Additionally they have fantastic smoothies!
Finest date evening or fancier dinner spot: A Home With no Key
That is in all probability in my prime 10 resturants ever, together with all the locations we’ve traveled. Every thing is recent, vibrant, and you’ll’t beat the surroundings. You’re outdoor, going through the ocean and an beautiful sprawling tree, which supplies a little bit of shade for the reside music and hula dancers.
Household dinner spots: Tommy Bahama or Duke’s
We ate at each every time we have been in Waikiki. I like that Tommy Bahama affords one other menu the place all the things is made in home, together with the sauces, salsas, and marinades. Additionally they supply from native farms every time attainable. Their mai tais are my favourite on the island!
Duke’s has a legit salad bar which you’ll add onto your meal for $9 (on the time of posting). Additionally they have a number 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 may inform, there aren’t a number of *conventional* breakfast spots (with issues like eggs, bacon, pancakes, and many others.), however as a substitute, we went into Duke’s Market every morning, the place the women acquired malasadas (one of the best donuts!), masubi or fried rice and egg bowls, we shared a fruit bowl, and I drank an almond milk decaf latte. This was additionally a terrific place to load up on seashore snacks, like recent fruit bowls, sushi, drinks, sandwiches, smoothies, and many others. They’ve just about all the things 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 along with all the sushi and mai tais I’d consumed. I had the rainbow salad with hen twice, and the women additionally liked their sandwiches and acai bowls. They’ve an enormous menu of salads, acai bowls, smoothies, wraps, and sandwiches, and I positively wish to return and check out extra issues! (Additionally, all the desserts are gluten-free!)
Finest udon noodles: Marukame Udon
This place is continually 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 decide up on the pickup window to the best of the doorway! The women LOVE this udon place.
Stunning spotlight: the gluten-free mochi butter cake on the seashore
A girl got here as much as us on the seashore carrying a big tray of packaged truffles. When she advised 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 advised me she makes it recent daily and I may 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 occasions! I can attest that this mochi butter cake is LEGIT. She additionally sells Filipino meals throughout the day, together with hen and shredded beef with noodles.
And now after ending this submit, my abdomen is formally growling 😉
