KAUAI.NAME2011’s Best of Kauai
The list is out! The Garden Island, Kauai’s oldest and most reliable chronicle, has reviewed the best eats that Kauai has to offer for tourists and locals alike:
Hanalei Dolphin
As a north shore favorite for over 30 years, the Hanalei Dolphin is known for fresh seafood and pleasant ambiance. Whether it’s a peaceful lunch, a ritzy dinner or just a casual trip to the sushi lounge, this restaurant offers the best of Kauai’s eating opportunities.
Tahiti Nui
Although it might look humble on the outside, Tahiti Nui is truly a local hot spot on Kauai’s north shore. Not only does it offer a wide variety of seafood and Hawaiian cuisine, but there is also impressive live entertainment that ranges from hula to Hawaiian music.
The Bull Shed
The Bull Shed consistently wins the best steak award and it easily takes the ribbon this year. With many meaty menu options, The Bull Shed is an easy option for the hungry carnivore. Some of the most popular entrees include teriyaki top sirloin, garlic tenderloin, top sirloin and beef kabob.
Keoki’s Paradise
If you’re looking for a more casual dining experience, or a fun bar scene, look no further than Keoki’s Paradise on the south shore. Keoki’s Paradise combines the best of pacific cuisine with a pleasant atmosphere to make it a favorite.
Wrangler’s Steakhouse
Located on the West side of the island, Wrangler’s Steakhouse is a local favorite that has pulled regulars and tourists in from the beach. With specialties such as the sizzling steak and the pulehu steak, this is another carnivore’s haven.
Even though most people don’t travel to Kauai for the food alone, they’ll be happily pleased with this beautiful island’s eats if they know where to look.
