19 Best Vegan Restaurants in Hanalei

“We had the cold brew float and it was the best coffee we have found on Kauai!!! We love it as much as our favorite Dutch Bros drink!! Had it 3 days while on Kauai!“

“Great place to try authentic Indian food! I ordered the coconut shrimp curry, and it was really delicious, nicely spiced and full of flavor. I got it medium, and honestly, it was still pretty spicy. I usually eat and enjoy spicy food, but this had some serious heat, so I probably wouldn’t recommend going “hot” unless you’re very confident.
The service and atmosphere were both on point. Even though it was busy, our order came out pretty quickly, which was impresive.
Highly recommend!“

“Delicious shave ice! The macadamia ice cream is da bomb too. Nice people, and a great location.“

“Quick service, quality ingredients and amazing flavor!“

“Always a must stop for us when we’re staying on Kauai’s Northshore! Kalua Pork, chicken, rice, mac salad, etc. hit a home run every time!“

“My wife and I went one night without reservations and had to wait about a half hour but the food was definitely worth it and the island version of the Mule I had was delicious.

Then we took my parents about a week later with a reservation and every single dish we had was amazing! The surprise star of the night was the lentils, the bruschetta was delicious, and the short ribs reminded my mother and I of her mothers roast beef which has always been my favorite.“

“Coconut shrimp was so good. Food is delicious.“

“Every single flavor I tried was absolutely divine! I cannot wait for my next visit to Kaua'i so I can enjoy these masterworks of baking again!“

“Looking for an AMAZING salad? Go Here NOW!!! I had the Gaucho Salad with the Ranch dressing. Omg. Absolutely delicious. 💕🌺💕“

“This is the go-to place for a sit down breakfast, we had the Belgian waffles with a side of bacon (10 strips!) and the Sunrise coffee, which was very smooth. Service was friendly and quick, the place seats about 30 and people move in and out fairly quickly. They also have an assortment of delicious looking pastries and fresh baked bread on premise. We'll be back!“

“BEST BURGER IN KAUAI. The little red food truck in the back of the spot behind the Liquor store in Hanalei is the best kept secret on Kauai. If you blink, you might miss the 4 or so creative food trucks on right side as you enter Hanalei. Sean the owner of Kauai Burger has taken every fresh ingredient available and transformed it into the best burger I have had in at least a year. I heard it was really good. Then I went today for the first time. It was so good, that I waited in line to get a second one just to try to figure out how to recreate a Kauai Burger on my own. Congratulations on creating an irresistible burger on the north shore. TIP: Best order is Double cheeseburger with the works along with tings. Delete review“

“The vegetable of the night was cauliflower. Undercooked hard . The swordfish was very good . My husband had the steak with mushrooms and a dab of sweet potato.. Not the most tender. That was the plates. No bread basket to fill.We won't be back here again. Plus horribly expensive and we have dined all over our country.“

“Not sure about some of these recent reviews. Had an excellent experience here, poke was delicious, staff helped walk us through the menu and recommended bowls, and the atmosphere was amazing. Fresh ahi was delicious and sat right there enjoying it while watching the Hawaiian rain. We'll be back every trip!“

“I'm so grateful for the opportunity to say thank you for your accommodations and awesome service. You all went above & beyond & we're very attentive to detail. Well organized from beginning to end.“

“Wife and I had a great time. The quesadillas were awesome, and the sauce. We will definitely go back to this restaurant again the service was also on point.“

“This place has such a great vibe, and one of the coolest things is that you can actually watch them prepare your breakfast right in front of you. It's such a neat, engaging experience!

And the food? Oh my goodness, the pastries and breads are out of this world. They're all baked fresh, and there's a huge, mouth-watering variety to choose from every single day. Plus, for anyone with dietary needs, they even have a fantastic selection of gluten-free pastries and bread, which is awesome to see – they really cater to everyone.

Full disclosure, it is a little on the pricier side, I won't lie. But honestly, the quality of the ingredients, the fresh preparation right before your eyes, and the overall delightful atmosphere really make it worth every single penny. You truly feel the value in every bite!

Seriously, if you're ever looking for a super enjoyable breakfast or brunch, I couldn't recommend this place more highly!“

“We enjoyed lunch at The Hanalei Gourmet last week. I had the fish taco and my husband had fish and chips. By far, the best fish taco I have ever had. It was delicious and I am craving another one as I sit back home here in Oregon. Our compliments to the chef. Everything I saw being delivered to the tables looked delicious as well! The views go without saying, Hanalei is gorgeous. A wonderfully perfect day!“

“Their authentic Japanese ramen bowls are perfectly seasoned and flavorful. We had the ramen with pork belly and they were delicious. They have lots of fun and yummy appetizers, our favorites were the bao buns and the brussel sprouts. The atmosphere is great and I highly recommend a reservation because the wait can be quite long.“

“Excellent Chinese food, and some nice authentic dishes that are hard to find in the States. I had the sea bass and eggplant dishes. Best eggplant since I lived in Shanghai.“
