Padovani's Bistro and Wine Bar

Charming European bistro

1956 Ala Moana Boulevard
(Doubletree Alana Hotel)
Honolulu, HI 96814
United States
+1 808 946 3456

Proprietor and executive chef Philippe Padovani was formerly the executive chef of the exclusive Manele Bay Hotel on Lana'i. He opened this gourmet room, located in the DoubleTree Alana Waikiki, and styles it after the finest restaurants in France. The sophisticated decor is dominated by rich woods and carpeting. The separate wine bar upstairs has 40 fine vintages on a cruvinet system—the wine equivalent to beer on tap. Cuisine described as Mediterranean-French/Hawai'i Regional features items such as Maine Lobster in a Lobster Cream Sauce and Pan-fried Scallops with Leeks and Sun-dried Tomatoes.

+1 808 737 2900 Two tasteful nightly belly dancing performances draw everyone from former Middle Eastern residents to honeymooning couples to, Honolulu's only Egyptian restaurant. The attractive sand-colored dining room features intricate brass lamps, hieroglyphics and mother-of-pearl inlay furniture. Lunch buffet is served Monday-Saturday. Dinner entrees include Shawerma (thin slices of grilled, spiced lamb or chicken) and Reiash (grilled rack of lamb) - all served with basmati rice, salad and pita bread. Plenty of vegetarian selections are available, too. Beverages include a few beers, cocktails and wine by the glass or the bottle.

Sarento's Top of the I

360 degrees of Diamond Head 1777 Ala Moana Boulevard
Honolulu, HI 96815
United States
+1 808 955 5559 Located on the 30th floor of the Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki, this place is most widely known for its 360-degree view of Diamond Head and Waikiki and its lively piano bar. Formal, fancy, romantic and classy describe the dining atmosphere. Waiters in tuxedos charm and spoil you while you take in the stunning view. The multi-regional Italian cuisine includes a nice selection of veal dishes such as the Ossobuco and innovative pastas such as the Lobster Ravioli. The choice of wines is impressive in the main room, and in Jiros Cellar it is superb; there are more than 3,000 vintages in total.

Town

Paint it red 3435,Wai'alae Avenue, No. 103
At 9th Avenue
Honolulu, HI 96816
United States
+1 808 735 5900 Local boy Chef Ed Kenney has kept things as simple as possible with Town. But that's still pretty complicated, in a good way. The decor is largely dark woods and steel, greens and oranges, which give Town a very contemporary feel. The menu's hand typed (it changes everyday) and you can't help but smile when you read "local first, organic whenever possible, with Aloha always". The tastes and textures are a subtle blend of local cuisine as well as Mediterranean, especially noticeable in their fresh salads. The popular dishes are the soup du jour, and almost anything that's seafood or pasta. With a menu like this, you can almost go to town with it!
