From $15 to $200: Lanai's Dining Scene

On Lanai, you can have a $200 tasting menu one night and the best $15 plate lunch of your life the next. My advice? Do both.

Authentic Local Eats

🐟 Lanai Ohana Poke Market

Best and freshest poke. Ahi prepared daily with local fish. Get there early before they sell out.

🍽️ Blue Ginger Cafe

No-frills classic. Hearty local-style breakfasts and plate lunches. Famous loco moco.

🍕 Cafe 565

Teriyaki plates and surprisingly good calzones. Multicultural Hawaii food scene.

☕ Coffee Works

Start your morning like a local. Great coffee, pastries, and island conversation.
