Kailua Restaurants

Kailua is a beautiful city on Oahu where tourists can have a relaxing beachside dining experience. One of the local favorites is traditional Hawaiian food. Try delicious poi, poke or even Kalua pig cooked in an underground oven. The pork belly is not to be missed. These dishes are made with local ingredients and often come with a generous helping of pineapple and rice. These restaurants frequently have live luau music and traditional dance. Several Italian restaurants and Japanese hibachi grills showcase the immigrant diversity of the island. Plenty of places are open late, so you can stay on the beach until the sun goes down while enjoying a spam musubi or an impossibly fresh grilled ahi sandwich. Most of Kailua's venues have a casual atmosphere that caters to tourists while remaining laid back and welcoming to all.
