Hawaii has a dual personality when it comes to dining - boasting the best of casual and gourmet - and Oahu's restaurants are the same, even when it comes to breakfast and brunch. Orchids is an upscale place that highlights fresh local produce and seafood with elegant presentations in a fantasy setting with consummate service. Sam Choy's Breakfast, Lunch, Crab and Big Aloha Brewery is a happy, carefree eatery - elegance and cholesterol be damned, as chef Choy features gigantic meals. Simple, sophisticated and peaceful, Hatsuhana Hawaii is a welcome retreat from the hectic rush of Waikiki. It caters to an almost entirely Japanese clientele, although some Western tourists wander in from time to time. Another Asian-inspired place for a healthy morning meal is Well Bento, which offers many dishes made without eggs, refined sugar or dairy products. With so many options in Oahu, it's a safe bet you'll find yourself saying "Ono!" each time you sit down to breakfast or brunch.
