One of the best 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 modifications primarily based 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 the most effective poke bowl of my life.
Finest Acai bowl: ALO Cafe
Every part 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 good. In addition they have fantastic smoothies!
Finest date night time or fancier dinner spot: A Home With out a Key
That is in all probability in my prime 10 resturants ever, together with the entire locations we’ve traveled. Every part is recent, vibrant, and you’ll’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 thing is made in home, together with the sauces, salsas, and marinades. In addition they supply from native farms every time potential. 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 quite a 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 quite a lot of *conventional* breakfast spots (with issues like eggs, bacon, pancakes, and so forth.), however as an alternative, we went into Duke’s Market every morning, the place the women received 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 awesome place to load up on seaside snacks, like recent fruit bowls, sushi, drinks, sandwiches, smoothies, and so forth. They’ve just about every 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 along with the entire sushi and mai tais I’d consumed. I had the rainbow salad with rooster twice, and the women additionally beloved their sandwiches and acai bowls. They’ve an enormous menu of salads, acai bowls, smoothies, wraps, and sandwiches, and I undoubtedly need to return and take a look at 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 decide up on the pickup window to the precise of the doorway! The women LOVE this udon place.
Shocking spotlight: the gluten-free mochi butter cake on the seaside
A girl got here as much as us on the seaside carrying a big tray of packaged desserts. 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 day-after-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 occasions! 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 put up, my abdomen is formally growling 😉
