Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Haleiwa Alii Beach Park

"A couple of our favorite Waikiki lunch spots with great ocean views are Hula Grill, Duke’s Waikiki, and Tropics Bar and Grill for casual fare. For a bit more of an upscale lunch with an ocean view, we like Veranda at the Beachhouse and House without a Key."

"Waikiki Beach’s legendary gathering place honoring Hawaii’s great ocean sportsman, Duke Kahanamoku. You'll find beach boys and guests alike with local-style comfort food, Hula Pie, and spectacular sunsets with Diamond Head in view."

"This neighborhood 24-hour bakery and diner is a beacon for night owls or the early morning business man. The legendary Coco Puffs are undefeated in the “what to bring to the potluck” category and sell out quickly."

"Address: (3 locations) 580 N Nimitz Hwy, HonoluluHours: 6:30AM-10PM, DailyPrice Range: $$MenuRecommendations: The Waffard, Loco Moco with Fried Rice, Oxtail Soup, Coco Puffs, Poi Mochi Donuts, or Malasadas."

"For a truly outstanding dining experience, from the food and wine to the service and intimate setting, Chef Mavro in Honolulu is the restaurant you and your significant other won't soon forget. The Hawaiian-French fusion restaurant is helmed by owner and chef George Mavrothalassitis who masterfully combines fresh, local ingredients into inventive dishes. Favorites include onaga, a long tail snapper baked in a salt crust with a tomato-ogo-fines herbes sauce, and the house-made lilikoi malasadas with guava coulis for dessert."

"Some of the island's most accomplished cuisine is served at this small, intimate restaurant in Honolulu. Under the masterful command of Chef Mavro, French technique pairs with Hawaiian ingredients to create culinary magic. Dishes include Maitake Mushroom Indochine sautéed with green papaya, mushroom broth, sumida watercress galangal and kaffir lime and Keahole Lobster Paella with roasted red bell peppers, green olives, fried cilantro, lobster, chorizo, and saffron puff rice."

"In March of 2020, Jeremy Shigekane, Mavro’s executive chef, bought the restaurant from his boss, one of the original founders of Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine. And then the pandemic hit. Luckily, he had already been planning to expand upon the tasting menu, once the restaurant’s only offering, with more casual options."

"This superb grill Princeville restaurant is a great place for both lunch and dinner. Headed up by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and with a designer menu created by Chef de Cuisine Maxime Michaud, you’ll be instantly won over with the food. Some must-try dishes include the juicy bigeye ahi tuna encrusted with rice cracker crumbs and served with a citrus-chili sauce, or seriously comforting glazed short ribs with crispy grits!"

"Macaroni Grill captures the Italian experience, down to each individual ingredient, and delivers the extraordinary flavors of Italy to ordinary life."

"On the way, you’ll pass Kaneohe Bay, Waiahole Poi Factory (stop here for Hawaiian plate lunches), Kualoa Ranch and a natural landmark known as Crouching Lion. You'll see coastal views of beaches and undeveloped valleys before entering Laie, where the Polynesian Cultural Center and Mormon Temple are located. Stop in Kahuku, the next town, for shrimp at any one of its food trucks, before driving to Ehukai Beach Park, also known as the renowned surf spot Banzai Pipeline."

"Home to several film locations including Jurassic Park, Kualoa Ranch is stunning, and riding ATV’s is the perfect way to see it!. This is the one activity we debated whether to spend the money on, but I’m so glad we did—it was unique and ended up being one of my favorites."

"Waikiki gets its own Michael Mina signature restaurant located here in the new market place. Stripsteak goes beyond your basic prime cuts of steak, and offers a nice 45-day aged Porterhouse Steak, a Tomahawk Steak for two, and a tasty Waygu Grade A5 Striploin Steak. And if you’re thinking of going big, consider ordering the $95 Kona Lobster Pot Pie!"

"Located on the mauka side of the International Market Place Grand Lānai, this third-floor Michael Mina restaurant faces a landscaped courtyard, a breezeway and a nice slice of sky. We arrived with a reservation at 6:45 p.m. and had our pick of tables."

"A restaurant boasting “new style” Japanese cuisine, Nobu Waikiki is one of chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s many restaurants located in countries around the world. The black cod miso and the yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño are two of the more popular items on the menu. The restaurant is full of elegant design features, such as the sea urchin-inspired chandeliers and the minimalist decor."

"The Nobu mystique is alive and well at this Honolulu outpost, which counts Robert De Niro among its owners. Even without a celebrity connection, the restaurant would be a culinary destination, courtesy of chef Nobu Matsuhisa's spectacular food and the place's careful service. Sushi and saké get lots of attention, but so, too, do tobanyaki and tempura selections."

"Nobu‘s Honolulu location is a dazzlingly unique venture in its own right. The world-renowned restaurant chain helmed by Master Chef Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa serves exquisite Japanese-Peruvian fare. Today, it is truly one of the world’s most sought-after restaurant brands."

"Lunchtime: Restaurant 604 is convenient to the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites and has waterfront dining with a menu of American and island favorites (like loco moco and kalua pork). No trip to Oahu would be complete without visiting the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, home to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the USS Arizona Memorial, which sits over the sunken battleship. You’ll want to set aside at least 2 to 3 hours here to tour the museums and join the free 75-minute USS Arizona program, which involves an informational video and a boat ride out to the monument. The visitor center and USS Arizona Memorial are free, but the memorial requires a timed ticket, available online 60 days ahead of time (for a small convenience fee)."

From the summit, enjoy awesome views of Waikiki Beach, our next destination. Back on level ground, head to one of the most famous beaches in Hawaii, the place to see and be seen in Honolulu. Body surfing, swimming, shopping, dining or just beach bumming – Waikiki is a perfect way to relax on your first afternoon."
