Meals for Under $20 on the north shore of Kauai, Hawaii

By
Real Estate Agent with Na Pali Properties, Inc.

Yes, it is possible to find good food for under $20.00 on Kauai. While it may not include a waiter or waitress or even a bartender, there are still good grinds to be had.

A friend of mine in Colorado actually sent me a link to an LA Times article which revealed the results of a restaurant survey they did on Kauai. While the article, posted at http://travel.latimes.com/articles/la-tr-kauai30-2008nov30 goes into more detail, here are some of the north shore spots they listed (along with some of my own comments):

1. Red Hot Mama’s – price $5 to $11.50. This place is tucked away in Wainiha (on your way to the Na Pali Coast) next to the General Store, but before the double bridges. You’ll place your order and take it with you as there are no tables here.

2. Tahiti Nui Restaurant & Bar – price $7 to $20.00. One of the landmark spots in the town of Hanalei. While Auntie Louise is no longer there running the show, it’s still a favorite among all who enter. Stop by on Thursday night and you’ll experience great music and may be treated to a hula performance.

3. Polynesia Café – price $7.95 to $16.95. Gourmet dining on paper plates in Hanalei town. You place your order, then select a table where you’d like to dine outside. Bring your own bottle of wine if you like. No bar and no waiters/waitresses.

4. Kilauea Fish Market – price $9.99 to $14.99. Located in Kilauea town on the way to the Kilauea Lighthouse. Mostly take out, but there is a small outdoor patio.

5. Kilauea Bakery – price $3.05 to $11.95. Enjoy scrumptious fresh baked breads and pizza in Kilauea’s Kong Lung Shopping Center. Place your order inside, then head to the courtyard with tables outside (limited seating inside).

Check out the L.A. Times article for more detailed information as well as more listings they included in spots like Anahola, Kapaa, Lihue and Koloa. Whether you’re coming to Kauai to purchase real estate,or just want to kick back for a fabulous vacation, keep these places in mind for dining that won’t empty your wallet.

Also, some of the best meals you’ll have are those where you buy your own fresh fish, take it to your “Kauai home” (if you’re staying in a vacation rental) and cook it on the grill! Mmmmm.

Enjoy!

I boomarked this one. My wife and I are having our 10th anniversary in 2010 and I'm planning the trip now. I'd like to do 1 week in Hawaii and maybe ride around the island on a Harley. These might be some good places to stop while out and about on the bike.
