It’s simply a food-lover’s paradise out here on the Kohala Coast, with restaurants offering everything from traditional cuisine, local luau fare, and fresh Japanese sushi. You’ll definitely enjoy taking your pick from the top-rated dining options in the area.

Pueo’s Osteria is one spot many diners definitely recommend. It’s wonderful Italian food is made even better by the fresh local products they always use. With generous portions and reasonable prices, it’s definitely worth a drive from to Waikoloa Village from the area resorts. Their smoked mashed potatoes with ahi is a definite must-have.

Brown’s Beach House Restaurant is an excellent cosmopolitan restaurant in the Fairmont Orchid complex, located in the Mauna Lani Resort. The menu might look pricey, but the restaurant’s excellent quality and service more than give you value for your money. Enjoy a quiet dinner right on the ocean with fantastic view and sunsets. The romantic setting and relaxing ambience is best served with a side of their famous dessert, the coffee creme brûlée.

For a more private and out-of-the-way option, you can also try a sunset-lit dinner at the small intimate restaurant, Napua at Mauna Lani at the owner’s private beach club. During the day, the restaurant is very casual, as people tend to wander in straight from the beach, and the place commands a wonderful, bright location. At night, the beachfront restaurant transforms into a more intimate and warmly lit place for quiet conversations. Located less than 15 steps from the white sands at Makaewa Bay within the Mauna Lani Resort, it’s nestled within a very historic area with ancient fish ponds and gorgeous ocean views.

The best parts of the Kamuela Provision Company Restaurant are its outdoor patio dining and its sunset views. Make sure to plan ahead and try to grab one of the waterfront tables at sunset. The restaurant’s location and unbelievable views create an excellent spot for a romantic dinner date or a special and intimate family dinner.
