31 Best Vegan Restaurants in Waimea

“Location and ambience is totally five star.....be there when the sun drops into the Pacific. The quality of the food, the presentation, the creativity and more was six star. Our server Ian made this evening one to remember....knowledgeable, patient, timely and very professional!!!!!“

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

“How should I start? We had been in the Big Island for 4 days, and the food experience was a mediocre at best. We imagined fresh and delicious food everywhere and boy we were wrong!! On our 5th day, we went to the Cipriano Kitchen and we were just blown away! The food was incredible and beautifully presented! Everything from the cocktails, fresh focaccia with burrata, crudo, lobster ravioli with octopus, orecchiette with sausage and chicken and affogato was just simply amazing! We are going back for more tomorrow! Thank you, Claudia, for such a wonderful welcome and food!!! I wish I can steal you to open the Cipriano’s Kitchen in NY!“

“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. 😕)“

“The best ACAI bowls I've ever had! It's a tradition now for us to stop by G's to get a "Butterboy" every time we come to Hawaii!
Excellent, quirky and friendly staff, also really cool local art and community event info on the walls. Highly recommend!“

“Great flavors and other ingredients“

“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.“

“This was an unexpected find! The person working was very knowledgeable about their vegan options and they are clearly marked. We tried 2 dishes. The first was the mung bean pancake with daikon, shoyu potatoes and pipinola shoots. This was fantastic, the daikon paired really well with the pancake. We also tried the jap chae noodles with vegetables. There were okay, a little too oily for my personal preference. I would skip this next time.“

“Halani has consistently great service, food & ambience. We're told they are shifting to a more Mediterranean type of cuisine and I anticipate the quality level will remain high. As residents of the Big Island (and though we love the ocean-front Four Seasons Beach Tree), Halani is our favorite dining spot.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“excellent place to enjoy a getaway“

“Best Shave Ice. Anywhere.“

“i had the ribs... delicious“

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

“Loved the pizza! We ordered to go, but waiting was very pleasant, the staff was very helpful and super friendly. I love that it's super close to the cottages, can just walk on over.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for wheelchairs to the right of the restaurant entrance“

“Fantastic, fresh fish at a reasonable price. That is hard to find on the island! Staff were very friendly, everything came out quickly, and the quality was great on every item! We had sashimi, several rolls, chirashi bowl. Patricia, our server, was fantastic and we managed to get in early for our reservation!“

“Loved the food…Mostly. There were a few things I’d like to see improved upon, like the veggies we got. They were cold and over cooked on some and under cooked on some. The beet salad needed slips of goat cheese rather than a grated hard cheese which I think was goat… it would have added a nice creamy element to it. I expected the beets to have a char on them but it was just roasted and pealed beets chopped into a bowl. It was greasy and nice but could have been so much lire so easily. I looooove the staff. The service was impressive and impeccable! The rib eye was huge and cooked perfectly. The Korean Short Rib was the winner. Great sauce. Good flavor and “FORC” tender. They have a nice wine list and a beautiful bar area. The restaurant is a nice choice while in Waimea. I do hope the learn to make mashed potatoes though… and learn that a dollop is better and an ice cream scoop when plating them“

“Cocktails at the bar during sunset. Perfect. Seated early when our table was ready. Waitress greeted us and set up our whole dinner as we desired. Food was excellent and plenty of it. But by the end of our meal we could see our waitress was overwhelmed by the now full house and she could not get to our table in a timely fashion. Eventually she came around, we ordered dessert (Kona Affogato excellent!). But we had to wait a fair amount of time for dessert to arrive. When it did, I had to eat quickly as we were trying to catch a shuttle back to our hotel. Had to ask the busboy to bring our check to leave on time. Otherwise, this was one of many times we've been here. I highly recommend, food is always outstanding, the bar venue overlooking the ocean and sunset is amazing!“

“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.“

“Separate vegan menu and server very knowledgeable about what was vegan versus not. Even brought out special bread that didn't have the butter brushed on. Best meal I have had on the island so far but price precludes frequent visits. Located in the Fairmont orchid, out back by the pool, not the easiest to find as signs are small.“

“Beautiful open air, beautiful food, beautiful art“

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

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

“Nice experience with delicious food. It's a bit overpriced, but acceptable for a unique experience due to its location. Seeing the Manta Rays and snorkelers in the bay around sunset and after dark was worth the extra cost! We went twice in a week and saw Manta Rays one night. Our party had a variety of entrees that were all good. The chocolate soufflé was fabulous.“
