The time-honored tradition of bringing people and food together for smiles, conversation, and the occasional mimosa, Sunday Brunch in Waikiki provides all this with style and sophistication. Starting later than the usual breakfast and lasting into the lunch hour, brunch offers the best of both meals; and just in time for those struggling to recover from the previous night's mai tai binge. These are some of the island's most popular destinations, so reservations are highly recommended. May we also suggest Aloha Attire, a hearty appetite, and a breakfast cocktail or three while you enjoy and relax at these Sunday Brunch destinations.
Hoku's If you need a quick escape from the urban jungle of Waikiki, discover an oasis of luxury just on the other side of Diamond Head at The Kahala Hotel & Resort. Hoku’s, the property’s flagship restaurant, holds title to one of the most opulent Sunday Brunches on the island. Oysters, lobster, king crab legs, prime rib roast, New Zealand rack of lamb, and a chocolate fountain highlight the lavish selection available. If you have a chance to experience this hidden gem, you’ll understand why the Kahala is a favorite Oahu destination for Presidents and celebrities alike. |
