 Hearty, local-style meals |
2982 Kress Street Kauai, HI 96766 United States +1 808 245 2921 |
Bored with breakfast? Try something different: teriyaki fish, miso soup, egg and rice. It sounds bizarre if you have never tried it, but it can be surprisingly satisfying in the morning. At noon, standard plate lunches are a favorite, but a selection of home-cooked American favorites is also available. Hearty dinner entrees include meat loaf, roast beef and stuffed mahi mahi. This simple and informal restaurant has been around for more than 60 years. During that time, it has managed to accumulate a devoted clientèle. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fresh, fabulous sandwiches |
3-2600 Kaumualii Highway # 1005 (Kukui Grove Mall) Kauai, HI 96766 United States +1 808 245 7115 |
As you may have surmised from the cafe's name, the bread here is fresh-baked on the premises. An impressive spread of deli meats and cheeses gives you plenty of sandwich fixings to choose from. Aside from the sandwiches, fresh-made soups are also a specialty. Meal-sized salads (Cobb, baby greens, etc.) and a selection of baked goods are also available. Pastries are best in the morning; pies and cakes can be bought whole or by the slice. Dine in the sparkling clean, deli-style dining room. If you are in the market for top quality appliances, the cafe doubles as a kitchenware store. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Experience a little piece of "Old Hawai'i." This Lihue restaurant is located inside the Kauai Marriott Resort and offers the best of Pacific Rim cuisine, along with outstanding ambiance and beautiful views. The restaurant is comprised of two floors and has an enchantingly tropical ambiance, complete with a small indoor waterfall. A canopy of lush foliage adds to the effect, and even the indoor dining area gives the impression of being open air. Take your time having a drink in the casual bar area or looking over the menu. The house specialty is fresh local fish, prepared any way you like. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Saimin For all |
2956 Kress Street Kauai, HI 96766 United States +1 808 245 3271 |
Hamura's is famous for serving lip-smacking saimin for a long time now. The U-shaped counters attract tourists to the specialty and no holiday in Kauai is complete without sampling something at Hamura. Take your pick from skewers of chicken or beef, wholesome noodles with eggs, vegetables, or seafood, and enjoy whilst sitting on wooden stools. Hamura's was recently awarded the James Beard Award for authentic, ethnic food; so don't think twice. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This old-timer is popular with golfers, shoppers, and other people who have a reason to be in downtown Lihue. It serves fresh fish, steak, and some rather creative vegetarian dishes. The restaurant is situated on Kalapaki Beach, and is known for great views. It is right in front of the Kauai Marriott Resort. The atmosphere is fun and unpretentious.

Good food, good times |
4303 Rice Shopping Centre # B9 Kauai, HI 96766 United States +1 808 246 0311 |
This is the biggest sports bar on the island. Located a couple miles from Lihue Airport, it is one of the few places on Kaua'i that stays open into the early morning hours. In addition to seven televisions, the bar has live entertainment nightly and dancing from Tuesday to Sunday. The menu offers a decent selection of American favorites including burgers, sandwiches and pupus (appetizers). Order your libation of choice from the full bar. Low prices and casual, boisterous, cheery ambiance make this place even more appealing. Review © 2007, Wcities |
