Best Places to Dine in Kona!

Kailua-Kona is known for the variety of restaurants and its delicious fare no matter where you go. For those looking for a more high-end dining experience look no further than Huggos. Opened in 1969 as a spot for causal meetups, Huggos has transitioned to a premiere restaurant known for its fresh seafood and oceanfront ambiance.

Another option is dining at the famous Kona Inn. Situated on the waterfront in the heart of old Kona, it offers a beautiful setting with its unobstructed views of the sunset and the crashing waves which break right in front of the restaurant. Local seafood is prime at the Kona Inn and fresh fish is brought in daily. The restaurant is also known for having the best Mai Tai in the Islands!

Drive north on Ali’I drive and you’ll find a plethora of more casual restaurants including Island Ono Loa Grill, Bongo Bens and the Fish Hopper. Lava Java, a popular brunch spot in the area is famous for its eggs benedict.
