🍤 Food Reccomendations

Hawaiian food is something special! Here are some of our favourites (and I'll probably add more as we get closer):

• L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

The Original Hawaiian Barbecue. Servings are generous so come hungry. Heather loves the spam or teriyaki chicken musubi. Blake loves the Chicken Katsu plate. If you want a classic Hawaiian meal we also recommend a Loco Moko.

• Any Bakery

A Hawaii staple - Malasadas! A Portuguese fried pastry, similar to a doughnut but without a hole, traditionally made with a yeasted dough and coated in sugar

The OG place on the Big Island according to Blake is Tex Drive-In, however this is quite a drive (2+ hours) away from Kona. Most bakeries on the Big Island should have them though, so make sure you try one while you're there.

• Dons the Beachcomber

Home of the original Mai Tai and a GREAT spot to watch the sunset. We recommend getting a Mai Tai Flight. You can sit at the bar or if you want dinner, probably best to make a reservation as it gets pretty busy!

• Huggos On The Rocks

We almost had our reception here! It is a great little beachfront restaurant along the Ali'i drive strip where you can sit in the sand and have some fun cocktails.

• Lava Lava Beach Club

One of our favourites when we've been out in Waikoloa. A great place for a sunset cocktail or afternoon bite to eat. Also a great place for a quick ocean dip or beach day.
