Lanai's own version of Hawaii regional cuisine draws on the fresh bounty provided by local farmers and fishermen, combined with the skills of well-regarded chefs. The upscale menus at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai encompass European- and Asian-inspired cuisine as well as innovative preparations of international favorites and vegetarian delights. All Four Seasons Resort restaurants offer children's menus. Lanai City's eclectic ethnic fare runs from construction-worker-size local plate lunches to poke (raw fish), pizza, and pasta. Lanai "City" is really a small town; restaurants sometimes close their kitchens early, and only a few are open on Sunday.
A block from Dole Park, this Northern California–style café offers an umbrella-covered deck where you can sip cappuccinos and get in tune with the slow pace of life. Bagels with lox, deli sandwiches, and pastries are served, while blended espresso shakes and gourmet ice cream complete the coffeehouse vibe.
An airy terrace—sunny or shaded thanks to retractable awnings—with tropical decor and potted plants is an inviting place to enjoy Hulopoe Bay views at this breakfast and dinner (resort guests only) restaurant named for the island's 140 square miles. In the evening, dishes featuring prime cuts of beef and fresh local fish are all on the menu.
Views of the legendary Puu Pehe rock and occasional glimpses of frolicking dolphins only enhance the imaginative lunch fare at this open-air golf-club restaurant. Tuck into a Hulopoe Bay prawn BLT, crispy fish-and-chips with Meyer lemon tartar sauce, or any of the tempting salad options.
