DK Travel : Honolulu & O’ahu : Places to eat

La Mer

The best and most authentically French restaurant in Hawai’i makes lavish use of both local seafood and imported delicacies to create “cuisine de soleil,” a cuisine of the sun with a distinctly Provençal bent. Formal dress.

When you’re in the mood to savor each exquisite bite and watch the sun set, choose this classy French place.
Local Fishes

A myriad variety of local fishes – like mahimahi, ahi, opakapaka, onaga – forms the foundation of Hawai’i cuisine.
Local Greens

Small farms grow dozens of varieties of lettuce and greens for Hawai’i’s restaurants.
Local Meat

Beef, lamb, even elk and venison are produced by Hawai’i ranches and used extensively by local chefs.
Lucy’s Grill & Bar

A truly Pacific Rim restaurant, Lucy’s offers well-prepared East-West dishes in a vibrant atmosphere. It has a lively bar, too, with a patio area – the only quiet place to talk.
L’Uraku

Classic Japanese dishes are given a Continental flair here, in an interior splashed with bright colors. Their contemporary kaiseki (set menu) provides great value.
L’Uraku

The food is Japanese with a European flair, delicate in flavor, and beautiful in presentation.
Maliko O Punalu‘u Bar & Grill

At this funky roadhouse the key ingredient is shrimp – steamed, tempura, and scampi-style. Lively bar at night.
Moi

Once enjoyed exclusively by ali’i (royalty), this small, delicate fish is now on menus throughout the islands.
