KAUAI INFORMATION FOR CONDO RENTERS

 There are over 165 restaurants on Kauai from the super elegant dining at the Princeville Hotel to your everyday McDonalds [actually 3 McD's].

OVERVIEW:

Once on Kauai, you will find brochures at the Lihue airport which list those restaurants who choose to advertise.  Without too much work, you can find all of those along the North Shore.  Or another very effective way is to use the local phone book which has a most complete listing.  Restaurants with phone numbers starting 826, 827 and 828 are along the North Shore from Kilauea to Hanalei.  Phone numbers starting with 821, 822, and 823 are in Kapaa.  All other phone numbers are further away and at least 45 minutes from the Cliffs Resort [including Poipu  with 742 prefix].

Or before you leave for Kauai, you can do some research from the comfort of your own computer.  Listed below are the 6 most comprehensive websites describing Kauai dining opportunities.   

However, to make matters as simple and friendly as possible for you, we've made a table of North Shore dining establishments along with a few notes.  You might find all you need to do is print this page and take it with you.  We've even taken pictures of many of these restaurants.  Click on the pictures for a better view.  In half the cases you will also find a description that Frommers anchored and we embellished. 

We also have a section on Luau's because they are a popular event for the first time Hawaii experience.

One Final Note:  We regularly find that the North Shore has more than enough dining variety for a 2 week stay.  And the Cliffs Resort condos have fine kitchens [with great views of the ocean] for a few home cooked meals thrown in.  There's little need to go looking across island for dinner places -- with the possible exception of a trip to Gaylord's at Kilohana near Lihue.
