A
Pizzetta (Kapa'a)
Rather a tourist trap but their crust is decent and, on the Eastside, your only other option is Pizza Hut. Try the Milano (fire-roasted veg and feta) or shrimp puttanesca (shrimp, capers, kalamata olives, roma tomatoes and spicy sauce). Daily happy hour is 15:00 to 18:00. Try the house Rooster Brew, made by local microbrewery Keoki Brewing Company.

Fresh Mint
Authentic Vietnamese fare, but totally veg, the chef-owner of this place takes pride in her artistically presented dishes. Even meat eaters will be blown away by the way soy takes on the flavors and texture of the foods they substitute - if in doubt, just try the spicy ginger soy beef. For dessert, don't miss the mango tapioca.

C
Neide's Salsa Samba
Unique flavors and a quiet veranda are the main attractions at this little owner-run restaurant serving Mexican and Brazilian fare - from familiar huevos rancheros and burritos to traditional Brazilian offerings, such as panqueca (a veggie or chicken crepe stuffed with pumpkin).

Mema
Not the best, not the worst, Mema serves savory dishes that can be tailored to your meat-philic or meat-phobic preference: you choose either tofu, chicken, pork, beef, fish or shrimp. The stir-fried eggplant with basil and red chili with coconut milk are favorites.

Pizzetta (Koloa)
The setting is touristy (and most patrons are tourists), but the Italian fare is tasty and reasonable. Pizzas feature gourmet toppings such as fire-roasted veg and feta, with or without grilled chicken. On the run, try pizza by the slice (from 11:00 to 18:00).

Brick Oven Pizza
Always jammed with tourists, Brick Oven has developed a cult following. The brick-oven pies are tasty, but mainland aficionados might be underwhelmed. Ideal for vegetarians: a truly meatless combo piled with premium veggies and stock-free sauce.

Veg Out
Tucked inside a former warehouse, this casual vegetarian eatery serves up a killer burrito with hot tofu, beans and pineapple salsa to the sounds of Ravi Shankar. Pesto goat-cheese pizza, taro burgers and veggie wraps also satisfy.
