31 Best Vegan Restaurants in Waimea

“Always wanted to try this place and it didn't disappoint. Beautiful dining experience seeing the sunset and enjoying the unique cuisine. We had the seafood tower and tried the tasting menu. Drinks were also great. The service was wonderful and one of the best parts of our experience. Thank you CanoeHouse!“

“Being able to get quality local products and enjoy the community.“

“World-traveling foodie here. Been to Italy and Peru and live in LA where excellent Italian and Peruvian cuisine is prevalent. So hear me when I say that Claudia and Gino’s Italian-Peruvian cuisine at Cipriano’s vies in my experience for the best I’ve had. Incredibly fresh local ingredients, superb bread and pasta made on-site with Italian flour, innovative recipes made with love. Very casual little yellow bungalow where we eat on a shady porch fringed with tropical foliage and from the kitchen comes your moan-worthy meal…“

“Absolutely, the food was delicious and service and restaurant were amazing !“

“Delicious smoothies and friendly staff….Purple Haze and Enter Sandman were our favorites!“

“Just want to thank all the great people at Waimea Coffee for buying some of my block prints!🤙🏽🌴 big help! too good you guys🤙🏽❤️“

“Tasty pizza, decent price (for Hawaii 😉), DO NOT Underestimate how big 18 inches is!! 😄 Plenty to feed 3-4 hungry adults! **CASH ONLY** tax included in prices (I can’t add a photo for some reason. Maybe I can in comments. 😕)“

“excellent place to enjoy a getaway“

“Great flavors and other ingredients“

“Best smoothie bowl I had while in Kauai, but also in Hawaii overall. I got the Gandhi bowl, which was phenomenal. I appreciated that the smoothie is made with oatmilk because it was more creamy, as opposed to the watery smoothie bases I had elsewhere. The toppings were generous and very well curated. They do not skimp! I had macadamia nuts in every bite, along with goji berries, papaya, banana, and granola. This place is well worth a stop before or after the Waimea Canyon. I hope I get to visit again someday!“

“Absolutely amazing. This is a must when de ending from waimea canyon state park. Unbelievably delicious and filling.“

“Totally awesome authentic burger place. My only regret was not ordering another burger. My sister had the Surf Burger and I had the Hi-Heat. On the drive back to our hotel, we just randomly kept saying what a great burger those were. Honestly surprised we didn’t turn around and go back for more.“

“i had the ribs... delicious“

“Cool experience!! Kind people, off the tourist route“

“Great place to grab a drink and relax. Erica is probably the best bartender in the history of everything.“

“Great find, and good service, had the organic tofu stir fry, they allowed me to order it mild 🌶️, even had some interesting local greens. Only thing I would change is less salty, but that might just be my own taste. One thing to be aware of is they don’t have a public restroom. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-30“

“Falafel sandwich with macadamia nut cheese was really satisfying: the focaccia was fresh and crisp, the falafel was hearty, the fillings were flavorful and well-rounded. The fries were also excellent: crispy, salty, hot. Although not a huge amount of options, this place really surprised on the execution.“

“Being a celiac surrounded by mouth-watering, cheesy pizza is impossibly sad. My family looks forward to Pau Pizza night, but I am not left out in any way. Pau’s superfood salad, with quinoa, edamame, bright-tangy vinaigrette, and crunchy greens hits the spot. Their sister restaurant, Taco Rosa, has more spicy flavors than anyone could ever dream up for a simple taqueria. Healthy, hit-you-oh-so-good heat, vegan and gluten free grubtious goodness!“

“Best Shave Ice. Anywhere.“

“Please thank Azzy for the wonderful experience. She made our last night of vacation feel special. Restaurant and food was incredible, and this was the best restaurant we have been to for accommodating gluten free needs. This really made my son happy and was a nice touch for him. Thanks for everything!“

“I brought Chef Allen Hess my freshly caught fish. He expertly prepared it into culinary art! The atmosphere and service is top notch, as well as the flavors and presentation. Do yourself a favor and order a few oyster shooters as well. 🤤“

“Good place for dinner after a day exploring Waimea Canyon. We ordered a veggie pizza for take out. The pizza was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed it.
However, we asked to 'substitute' a few toppings but were charged for 'substitutes' as 'extra toppings'. One pizza cost us $45+ tips. So, we paid for the toppings we never had on our pizza too. in this regard, make sure you check before paying.“

“The best burger and fries I have had on the island. Customer service was amazing. Friendly staff. 5/5“

“We picked the perfect restaurant to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Service was top notch from beginning to end, food was delicious, and ambience was fantastic to include live music and the sunset. We are grateful for the amazing experience!“

“Chef Soto’s every dish tonight was fabulous! From the salads to the entrees to the dessert, we loved every bite. Oftentimes eating out at resorts can be expensive and mediocre at best. But that was not the case at Meridia and we were absolutely pleasantly surprised. Thank you Meridia, for a wonderful night out.“

“This restaurant obviously has it all going for itself with the location, on top of that the food and drinks are incredible but what makes it incredible is the service. Cristalle (sorry if I spelled this wrong) went ABOVE and beyond to make our dining experience incredible. She was so funny and engaging and made every effort to accommodate dietary restrictions for an amazing dining experience. Hopefully she remembers this quote but she was truly the “McGogger of the day”! She is an asset to the hotel and truly defines what hospitality means.“

“A hidden gem in Waimea. Their yakitori, sashimi, and sushi rolls were excellent. Try the shiitake and zucchini yakitori - an explosion of flavors and will make you love vegetables. Great service - we came back twice. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Beautiful open air, beautiful food, beautiful art“

“The meatballs app. The Red Water Martini: delicious!“

“Love, love, love! Must do in Waikiki.“

“We celebrated our 29th Anniversary last night and the food and service was excellent. The hostess gave us a special Happy Anniversary card signed by the staff....an unexpected and memorable surprise. Everyone, especially our waiter was attentive and very accommodating. We'll definitely be coming back. Sandra & Robert“
