The most effective eating places in Waikiki

Greatest 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 based mostly on what’s caught recent every day, and the seasoned picks are marinated to perfection. They really deal with poke like a murals; it’s by far one of the best poke bowl of my life.

Greatest Acai bowl: ALO Cafe

All the things is made recent in home, together with their peanut butter. I 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. In addition they have great smoothies!

Greatest date night time or fancier dinner spot: A Home And not using a Key

That is in all probability in my high 10 resturants ever, together with all the locations we’ve traveled. All the things is recent, vibrant, and you may’t beat the surroundings. You’re open air, dealing with the ocean and an beautiful sprawling tree, which gives a little bit of shade for the dwell 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 presents one other menu the place all the things is made in home, together with the sauces, salsas, and marinades. In addition they supply from native farms at any time when attainable. 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). In addition they have plenty of recent and native choices, together with poke tacos (the ladies’ fave), ginger and scallion fish (my fave), steak, and extra informal fare, like burgers and pulled pork sandwiches.

Our favourite fast chew and breakfast spot: Duke’s Market

From what we may inform, there aren’t plenty 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 ladies received 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 an ideal place to load up on seaside snacks, like recent fruit bowls, sushi, drinks, sandwiches, smoothies, and so on. 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 together with all the sushi and mai tais I’d consumed. I had the rainbow salad with rooster twice, and the ladies 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, all the desserts are gluten-free!)

Greatest 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 choose up on the pickup window to the appropriate of the doorway! The ladies LOVE this udon place.

Shocking spotlight: the gluten-free mochi butter cake on the seaside

A lady got here as much as us on the seaside carrying a big tray of packaged desserts. When she advised me the primary possibility 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 every single day 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 instances! I can attest that this mochi butter cake is LEGIT. She additionally sells Filipino meals through the day, together with rooster and shredded beef with noodles.

And now after ending this submit, my abdomen is formally growling 😉
