Fusion restaurants in Honolulu & Waikiki

  1. A

    3660 On the Rise

    Of the top-end Hawaii regional restaurants, 3660 will woo diners skeptical of white tablecloths. The dishes are sensible without being flamboyant and include familiar surf-and-turf ingredients that are either seared or pan-cooked. But the result is far from country-club fare thanks to the thoughtful additions of Hawaiian flavors. The restaurant is between 12th and 13th Aves.

    Shokudo Japanese

    This contemporary Japanese restaurant serves up fine cuisine at reasonable prices. The menu focuses on small plates, allowing you to try unusual tastes, such as mochi cheese gratin and the more traditional noodle and sushi options. Not to be missed is ishiyaki, a hot-stone cooking style that's served on a sizzling plate - the unagi (eel) rice is a winner.

    Chef Mavro

    The most avant-garde of Honolulu's haute restaurants, Chef Mavro creates conceptual dishes using green tea-dusted zucchini-blossom tempura appetizer with a glass of German Moselle wine. Textures and fragrances are just as important as flavor and great care is used to pair food and wine.

    Duc's Bistro

    Honolulu's power brokers hang out at this swank French-Vietnamese bistro with a tiny Manhattan-like bar. Fusion highlights include noodles in lime sauce, seafood paella, vermicelli with spring rolls, and avocado and green papaya salad. A small jazz combo performs on most evenings.
