  • Kauai offers a variety of dining choices and cuisine for visitors ranging from small town restaurants serving local favorites to fine dining experiences available at the islands upscale resorts.

    Authentic Hawaiian cuisine is made from the freshest of ingredients including fresh fish like mahi mahi, ono, and opakapaka, along with vegetables and local fruits like pineapples and coconuts. Sugar cane is grown throughout the island to produce sweet delicacies such as passion fruit preserves and mango jam. To experience authentic Hawaiian cuisine in an authentic Hawaiian setting, celebrate your visit to Kauai by attending a traditional luau. Here you'll be entertained with hula dancers, fire dancers, and music as you enjoy delicious foods like poi, Kalua roast pork, ono mahi mahi, and chicken adobo.

    For a scrumptious Hawaiian dessert treat, be sure to try ice cream in flavors like Macadamia Nut and Passion Fruit, coconut cream filled éclairs, or authentic Hawaiian shave ice like Island Punch and Blue Coconut.
