More Kauai – Waimea and favorite restaurants

 

I wanted to share the great experience we had visiting Waimea Canyon in February,. It was a gorgeous day driving there from Lihue. We went to the top and visited the Kalalau Lookout. It was clear and there was an incredible rainbow. I am posting pictures of the gorgeous vistas we encountered.

Gorgeous view from Top of Waimea looking at the Napali coast.

The gorgeous view we were so blessed to see on this clear day from the wettest spot on earth!

Vibrant rainbow we encountered on our way back down the mountain.

We spend a lot of time eating out in Kauai . Some of our favorite places we revisit each time we are there.  Thought I would share a few with you.

-Kauai Pasta in Lihue has great pasta and fish dishes. My favorite dish is the steamed clams. The sauce is to die for.

-The Garden Isle Bar-b-Que is a favorite with locals and with us. Great Chinese food awaits you with good prices and service is fast. Not much atmosphere.

-Lihue Bar-b-que Inn is a top favorite for us. They have great food at reasonable prices. You can get authentic Hawaiin dishes here. My favorite dish is the Ahi Tuna salad.

-Monico’s in Kapaa has the best fish tacos on the island in my opinion.

-Tomkats grill in Koloa has the best mussels on the island. It is a fun place to eat with great fish dishes and burgers. It is a real family oriented restaurant.

I will never tire of this island, the beauty and the people all make it one of my favorite places in the world. Hope you can use some of my information to make your visit a memorable one.
