January 2014 marked our second trip to the beautiful island of Kauai, I'm sure it won't be our last. When we visit, we typically stay on the North Shore, close to hiking, nice resorts, and some of the most fabulous food you can get on the island. One of the things I love about staying up here is that you are forced to leave your resort and head into "local" territory to eat. You won't find an Olive Garden or a Chili's, and instead you are treated to an abundance of local delights.
The Kilauea Fish Market was recommended to us by friends as a great lunch stop. The food was absolutely not disappointing! We had Fish Tacos and something else that topped the list as "customer favorites". Both were delicious. The only downside here were the number of (aggressive) chickens also trying to eat our delicious lunch.
Dolphin Restaurant
The Dolphin Kauai wins for atmosphere, this almost entirely open air restaurant is a great way to enjoy the setting sun of Kauai. The appetizers and sushi here was good, but not the best I've had. If you are in the mood for sushi, this is the place to be.
Postcards Cafe
Postcards. Postcards. Postcards.
The Postcards Cafe Kauai is an absolute do-not-miss on our travels to Kauai. The fresh fish special NEVER disappoints. The fish is so fresh and so well prepared I think I could stop in here 3 times a week to enjoy it. We've also enjoyed amazing servers each time we've stopped in.

Bar Acuda
Bar Acuda is a hit-or-miss for me. The first time we came it was a miss and we were pretty disappointed. The second time it was a super "hit" we loved literally everything we ordered. This is a tapas style restaurant with a very long wait, and sometimes no availability for dinner, so make a reservation the day before and be prepared to sample a few dishes.
Tahiti Nui
Kalua Pork and Pineapple pizza. Also known as "Da Hui" is hands down the best $25 you will ever spend. It's SO.GOOD.
This restaurant also makes an appearance in the movie "The Descendants" which put it on the famous map, and features live music and sometimes impromptu hawaiian dancing as the night progresses. Seriously, what's not to love?
