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 modifications primarily based on what’s caught contemporary every day, and the seasoned choices are marinated to perfection. They really deal with poke like a murals; it’s by far the most effective poke bowl of my life.

Greatest Acai bowl: ALO Cafe

Every part is made contemporary 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 great smoothies!

Greatest 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 all the locations we’ve traveled. Every part is contemporary, vibrant, and you may’t beat the surroundings. You’re outdoor, dealing with the ocean and an beautiful sprawling tree, which offers 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 provides one other menu the place every part is made in home, together with the sauces, salsas, and marinades. Additionally 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 add onto your meal for $9 (on the time of posting). Additionally they have quite a lot of contemporary 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 chew and breakfast spot: Duke’s Market

From what we may inform, there aren’t quite a lot 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 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 a fantastic place to load up on seaside snacks, like contemporary fruit bowls, sushi, drinks, sandwiches, smoothies, and many others. They’ve just about every part 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 rooster 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!)

Greatest 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 fitting 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 truffles. When she informed 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 informed me she makes it contemporary on daily basis 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 in the course of the day, together with rooster and shredded beef with noodles.

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