Hello, I will be in Hawaii Honolulu in less than a week. I%26#39;m a vegetarian, i do eat cheese, milk etc. just not meat or seafood. Does anyone know whether many places cater for vegetarians?? Thanks

Hi, I just got back from there a couple days ago and I am also somewhat of a vegetarian and I found alot of places that have many different food items without meats. There are even several actual vegetarian resturaunts I noticed, so I think you will have no problem finding that type of menu!

Awesome, thanks a heap!

Of course,many of the ethnic restaurants have lots of vegetarian items-Italian, Chinese-South East Asian,Mexican,etc.

Most days I get lunch at an ABC Store %26amp; eat it at the beach. They have a good reasonably priced selection of sushi, cold noodles, salads, sandwiches, cut up fruits, some that are vegetarian choices.

If you%26#39;re staying in Waikiki(?) Breakfast%26#39;s should be no problem between a couple inexpensive diners on Kuhio for eggs/pancakes or getting to-go from the bakery (St Germaines also on Kuhio). Food Pantry a large grocery store on the same street is another great resource.

For a great vegetarian meal, think ';Thai';...

Keo%26#39;s, in the Ambassador Hotel on Kuhio Avenue (where it splits from Kalakaua Avenue) has a great selection of vegetarian dishes.

They also operate Keoni%26#39;s in the Ohana East Hotel (Kuhio and Kaiulani Aves), but it has a more limited menu.

The best of the restaurant ';family'; is the original Mekong, at 1295 S. Beretania, same (to slightly larger) menu but lots cheaper and a quaint ambience. A couple miles inland from Waikiki.

For good vegetarian food in Waikiki, but in a little storefront (not fancy sit-down) location. check out ';Ruffage'; at 2443 Kuhio Ave, on the ground floor of the Royal Grove Hotel. Great salads, smoothies, sandwiches and fruit.

But the absolute king of vegetarian joints in Honolulu is ';Down to Earth'; at 2525 King Street, near University Ave, about a mile inland from Waikiki. It has a large hot deli/restaurant and an awesome natural foods store.

We%26#39;re not vegetarian, but we take advantage of the great availability of Japansese restaurants when in Honolulu. They always have numerous offerings including vegetables cooked with tofu. There are Japanese restaurants fitting any budget so it%26#39;s worth a mention.

I%26#39;m putting in another vote for Down to Earth. The food is so-o-o good. The have a deli, bakery, salad bar within a health food store. We usually go to the one mentioned on S. King. There is also one in Kailua.

All hot food in the deli is clearly labeled with all of the ingredients. They even list filtered water! While this may seem like overkill, it was great for me because I have life threatening food allergies. It is reassuring to know that they put such care into their food.

Hawaii isn%26#39;t exactly a mecca for vegetarian food, but one can certainly find good food with a little research.

The Hawaii Vegetarian Society publishes an extensive list of Veg*-Friendly Restaurants:

I%26#39;ve found that a lot of restaurants here are great about accomodating special requests. As long as you%26#39;re polite and don%26#39;t have a chip on your shoulder about being a put-out vegetarian, most restaurants are pleased to help you find suitable options. For instance, some of the best food I%26#39;ve had in Hawaii was at the 12th Avenue Grill in Kaimuki. Both times I%26#39;ve been there they did not have a single vegetarian entree on their menu, but they were happy to make a delicious vegetarian dish for me.

Thank you all for your great help!! Sounds fantastic!

I certainly don%26#39;t have a ';chip on my shoulder';, being vegetarian is my choice so i%26#39;d only have myself to be cranky at.

I%26#39;ve been to Thailand a couple of times without a problem, loved it and Samoa which was a bit more tricky with food but still easily done.

Thanks again
