Dining

With its five-star resorts and discerning clientele, dining on Lanai has become a world-class affair. Between the mom-and-pop cafes of Lanai City and the high-end resort restaurants that turn eating any meal into a special occasion, this tiny island has more than enough dining choices to satisfy any appetite. 

For local flavor, head to Lanai City favorites like Blue Ginger Cafe, Cafe 565 and Richard's Market. At the historic Hotel Lanai, the Lanai City Grille is a great option for an intimate, romantic dinner with wine.

The Four Seasons Resort Lanai offers a range of delicious options for guests and day visitors alike. One Forty specializes in steaks, seafood and unbeatable ocean views, while trendy Nobu slices up melt-in-your-mouth sashimi and creative Japanese cuisine. The Sports Bar & Grill features all-day casual dining, and guests can enjoy fresh, locally sourced food at Malibu Farm. Just across the property, Views at Manele Golf Course offers salads, wraps, pupus (Hawaiian small plates) and—as the name suggests—stunning views of the ocean, golf course and even breaching humpbacks during whale season.
