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.
Small and colorful, Pele's is a deli and restaurant all in one. For lunch, it serves sandwiches and daily hot specials to satisfy hearty appetites, and at night, it's transformed into a busy bistro, with an intimate back-room bar where entertainers often drop in for impromptu jam sessions.
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.
