Again, a reminder that Hawaii is quite a travel destination and trips can be booked a year in advance. It will be exceptionally difficult to get a last minute reservation for anything amazing. So please plan well in advance to ensure best options. Since you will be dealing with island time and service during the Covid era, it is ill advised to try to pull a favor.

As note in the first post, we had dinner at sunset at Beach House Restaurant to take advantage of the view for our first night in Kauai.
Wailua Shave Ice
4-831 Kuhio Highway
Kapa'a, HI 96746

This was the best shave ice I have ever had. So much that we wanted to go back another day for more. However, we were exploring different parts of the island and never made it back.

Up the street from where we were staying is a cute little shopping center with food options. For breakfast one morning we decided to grab food at Anuenue and ate at the outdoor courtyard. Watch out for the rogue chickens all over the island gunning for your food! I got the French toast and it was to die for.

In this shopping center is also our favorite juice shop Kauai Juice Co. Those are some of the best juices I have ever had. Local Kauai produce cannot be beat, especially in terms of tropical fruits. Be sure to also check out their sauces and salts and other goodies that make great gifts!

If you walk down to the street from the Anuenue Cafe shopping center, there is a wonderful coffee shop that also serves breakfast. We enjoyed our breakfast there with the chickens wandering around.

We decided to have lunch one day at our nearby shopping center. I would highly recommend coming here for happy hour or dinner. The food is good and the ambience is amazing.
Kakaheo Cafe & Coffee Company

Kalaheo, HI 96741

One morning, we decided to switch it up and go to another neighborhood to explore. So we ended up having breakfast in a much more local neighborhood. It was nice to experience more of a local less touristy vibe and see the different foliage across town and its microclimates on Kauai.

One of my musts while traveling is checking out local specialty food stores. I love buying gifts to bring home so I can cook with them long after my trip. It's always fun to see what local specialty items are wherever I am. Look at the fruit!
In this shopping center there were 2 high end Hawaiian shirt stores where I bought some gifts for loved ones as well.
Holoholo Grill
8581, 2641 Poipu Rd
Koloa, HI 96756

I highly recommend coming for dinner at Holoholo Grill. I am not a cheese person but I asked for more flatbread so we can kill off that macadamia nut crusted brie with garam masala pineapple chutney. Also, the senzai unagi pokiest crunch was to die for. But most of all, you will be blown away by the pool there, which is in the top 10 of America for obvious reasons.
Red Salt
2251 Poipu Rd
Koloa, HI 96756
While we did very well for all our meals, the stand out for this entire trip was breakfast at Red Salt. It was so good that we decided to return for our last dinner in Kauai.
For breakfast we shared the ko'a kea French toast, lobster Benedict (star of the show), and I tasted my friend's city mimosa flight (coconut, cactus pear, and ube).
For dinner we shared a salad with the scallops and a lobster risotto.
