Lunch<\/h2>\n
Lunch is one of those meals that really depends on what kind of day you have planned for you and your travel party.

The lunch menu at The Pineapple Room features plenty of favorites with a tropical island twist, like the Pineapple Room Burger, made of grass-fed beef, bacon, avocado salsa on an onion bun or the Kiawe Grilled Kalbi Short Ribs, which has homemade kimchi served on fried rice and topped with kabayaki sauce. Another great sit-down lunch restaurant in Honolulu is Mariposa, which is a finer dining setting that overlooks the ocean. Reserve a spot on the patio, and prepare yourself to feast on appetizing entrees, such as the applewood king salmon salad or its famous ahi tuna melt sandwich, complete with fontina cheese and topped with caper aioli.<\/p>\n
If you have places to go and want to try some more portable, yet authentic Hawaiian lunch options, Oahu has plenty of amazingly delicious and affordable meals on Kapahulu Avenue in Honolulu. This strip is filled with fast and quick meals, ranging from traditional Hawaiian plate lunches to scrumptious sandwich shops. There’s always the famous Rainbow Drive-In, home of some of the most tasty and renowned plate lunches on the island. It has even been said by President Obama to be one of his favorite stops in all of Hawaii. Be sure to load up on a mix plate of barbecue beef, boneless chicken and mahi, or get some curry stew to go.<\/p>\n
