My Must-Eat List for Every Trip to Hawaii!

Every time I return to Hawaii, these are the delicious spots I can’t miss — tried, tasted, and truly treasured! 🥩 Steak Shack 📍 Waikiki Beach A beloved beachside gem — always a line, but totally worth it! You can choose your steak or chicken by weight, and even the smallest portion is enough for two light eaters. 🌅 Perfect for enjoying a meal while watching the sunset over the ocean! 🍾 Michel's at the Colony Surf 📍 French Restaurant with Stunning Views The ambiance here is even more beautiful in person — absolutely breathtaking! I celebrated my birthday here last year 🎂 — they even brought out a complimentary birthday dessert plate. A truly special experience! 🍨 IL GELATO HAWAII A popular gelato chain across the island — I’m obsessed with their ube and Kona coffee flavors! 📸 The IL Gelato Cafe Waikiki Royal Hawaiian location is a charming pink building — super Instagrammable! 🍛 GOOFY Cafe & Dine A cozy Hawaiian restaurant focused on organic ingredients, serving both breakfast and dinner. The parent company is Japanese, so you’ll find Japanese-speaking staff and dishes like ginger pork) on the menu — a tasty cultural blend! 🥣 Pai Cafe Coffee & Acai Bowls Located right across from the popular bubble tea shop Little Sweet — perfect for a two-in-one foodie stop! Their acai bowls are fresh and satisfying, and the staff is super friendly. 💻 A relaxed space where you’ll see people working, chatting, and unwinding. 🎋 Hawaiian Cane Juice Fresh sugarcane juice that you can order without ice — a lifesaver for those who prefer less-cold drinks! It’s a bit pricier than other juice spots near the beach, but totally worth it. 🦞 Red Lobster Yes, it’s a chain — but it’s a favorite I’ve enjoyed everywhere from Hawaii to Tokyo! The menu is diverse, prices are reasonable, and the food always hits the spot — especially those iconic Cheddar Bay Biscuits! 😉 #HawaiiFoodGuide #OahuEats #TravelAndEat #HawaiianFavorites #FoodieLife
