Deli restaurants in Hawaii

  1. A

    Diamond Head Market & Grill

    Fast-food for an upscale neighborhood, this takeaway counter and deli market feeds families who don't want to heat up the kitchen as well as career bachelors with healthy versions of plate lunches. The salmon plate gets an approving nod from others in line and there are picnic tables beside the parking lot for immediate consumption. In the market, you can stock up on salads and picnic supplies.

  3. Punalu'u Bakeshop

    This, the island's best-known sweet bread bakery, is Na'alehu's major tourist attraction, and it's a mandatory tour-bus stop. Its sweet bread comes plain or in the brightly colored flavors of guava, liliko'i or taro. Snack on a pastry or malasada, or grab a salad or sandwich to go from the deli (steer clear of the mediocre plate lunches). A small lawn bordered by flower beds out back is prime for picnicking.

    Bong Brothers

    Your best bet for food in Honaunau is vegetarian deli take-out from Bong Brothers, a small health food and gift store located in an historic 1929 building. The green papaya salad is delicious, as are the smoothies, soups, curries and burritos. Organic produce fills baskets on the front porch, and a rocking chair there is perfect for watching the characters come and go.

    Hanalei Gourmet

    The best bets at this lively café-bar-deli are huge sandwiches on house-baked bread. The sit-down meals, from a sampler of lox-style local smoked fish to crunchy mac-nut fried chicken, are tasty and unpretentious, if more mainstream American than local.

    Traditional or wacky, it's all here, from Mexican (ground beef and refried beans) to Filipino (Langanisa sausage and grilled eggplant) to lomilomi salmon. The calzones, offered in each pizza-combo flavor, are ideal for single diners.

    Kilauea General Store

    For groceries, pickings are slim at both Volcano Store and Kilauea General Store. The best trail lunch will be leftovers from the night before (Hint: think Thai).
