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 primarily based on what’s caught contemporary every day, and the seasoned alternatives are marinated to perfection. They honestly deal with poke like a murals; it’s by far the very best poke bowl of my life.

Greatest Acai bowl: ALO Cafe

All the pieces 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 right. Additionally they have fantastic smoothies!

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

That is in all probability in my high 10 resturants ever, together with the entire locations we’ve traveled. All the pieces is contemporary, 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 reside 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 pieces 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 a variety of contemporary 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 a variety 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 ladies bought malasadas (the very 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 awesome place to load up on seaside snacks, like contemporary fruit bowls, sushi, drinks, sandwiches, smoothies, and so forth. They’ve just about all the pieces 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 hen twice, and the ladies 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, the entire 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 correct of the doorway! The ladies LOVE this udon place.

Stunning 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 truffles. When she instructed 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 instructed me she makes it contemporary day-after-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 in the course of the day, together with hen and shredded beef with noodles.

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