We really loved the dishes, especially the foie gras, raviolone, and scallops, but honestly everything we tried at this restaurant was delicious. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try the duck Wellington because, as I understood, it had to be requested when booking the table. But we’ll definitely come back to try that dish too 😊
I cannot speak highly enough of this establishment. It delivers the elevated culinary experience Hawaii has been longing for—impeccably executed cuisine paired with an exclusive, elegant atmosphere that effortlessly transports you beyond the ordinary.
Absolute joy all courses a delight. A hidden Gem

Carte Blanche is a hidden gem located a bit off the beaten path from Waikiki, offering an exclusive dining experience worth the Uber ride. The restaurant features beautiful interior design with chandeliers, soft seating, and a clean appearance. The attentive and friendly staff, including knowledgeable servers, enhance the dining experience by explaining the source of ingredients and meticulous preparation of the dishes.
Guests can enjoy a blend of Hawaiian flavors with fine dining, making it an unparalleled Hawaiian culinary experience. Standout dishes include the Braised Short Rib, which is especially tender and flavorful, as well as the Ulu Two Ways and Saimin Soup Dumplings. Desserts like the Fried Ube Potato Pie and the Ube tart with coconut cream, featuring a warm crust and creamy ube pudding, provide a perfect end to the meal. The restaurant thoughtfully offers Dino Nuggets for kids on a fun dinosaur plate, making it family-friendly.
Despite its small size and recent opening, Carte Blanche has quickly become a must-visit for those seeking a luxurious meal in Honolulu/Waikiki. The ambiance is described as "Crazy Rich Asian vibe," and it is perfect for private events. Whether it's a special occasion or a casual night out, the restaurant delivers an amazing experience, and it comes highly recommended for anyone looking for incredible food in a memorable setting.
