Restaurants in Kauai

Restaurants in Kauai are diverse enough to suit every preference in your party. You can grab pizza for the kids or enjoy the outdoor Hawaiian sunset with your sweetheart while you dine on gourmet seafood. Kauai restaurants offer a large amount of Japanese and Italian choices. You should not go home without trying the fresh sushi or the special pasta dishes. Additionally, you can enjoy an authentic Hawaiian luau and take pleasure in the native island cuisine. If you just need a quick sandwich before you head to the beach, check out Brennecke’s at the end of the green belt just before Poipu Beach. We want to make sure your dining experience in Kauai is optimal for you. If you have any questions be sure to call Lauren.
