3 places our scouts eat
Hanalei
Hanalei Nourish (Hanalei, on Aku Rd) — don't miss it. Healthy, creative cuisine using local Kauai ingredients with a magnificent view of Hanalei Bay from the terrace. Smoothie bowls, fresh fish dishes, and the best açaí bowl on the island. The view alone is worth the detour.
Hanalei
Hanalei Poke (Hanalei, on Aku Rd) — some of the freshest poke on Kauai, made daily with locally caught fish. Small shop, limited quantity. Arrive before noon or it sells out. Get the ahi shoyu and one daily special.
Kīlauea
Kilauea Fish Market (Kilauea town, in a strip mall — easy to miss) — plate lunches, fish tacos, and excellent specials. The avocado salad and mahi fish sandwich are outstanding. Most beloved lunch spot among Kauai locals.
