Birthday Dinner on Kauai
 
Taking a birthday trip with my grown daughter next week. Three
days on North Shore (Princeville Resort) and three days on South Shore
(Koa Kea). Would love ideas for a special restaurant on North Shore for dinner
on my birthday - prefer non hotel. Also, if you have favorites around the island
for the rest of our stay please share. Thanks in advance!

North Shore: we have had nice meals at both Postcards Cafe and Bar Acuda.

Ama was my first thought and you can't beat the Pali view. Scroll thru pics and see if it calls to you. It calls me

But I do love Baracuda as well. They are a stones throw between them.

I notice that you are staying at Koa Kea when in the Poipu area. It has what may well be the best restaurant on Kauai: Red Salt. It's a bit pricey, but the food is excellent and the atmosphere is lovely.

Beach House in Poipu Beach area is lovely. Agree on red Salt. No view but good food. not fancy but For fab FISH TACOS try Sleeping Giant Grill in Kapaa. The best

Thank You all so much! Had dinner at Princeville Resort and it was lovely and delicious. I plan on posting other places that we enjoyed around the island soon.

So glad you enjoyed your birthday dinner.

My fave breakfast on the island is Kountry Kitchen in Kapaa. (The banana macadamia pancakes are so enormous I can only eat HALF of one!)
I was surprised at how good Monico's (also in Kapaa) is for Mexican food.

Foodie friends of mine say the best restaurant in Poipu is Plantation Gardens. They also say Hukilau (in Kapaa) is the best food on the island.
