West Oahu Garden Napoleon. You can make it vegan just by getting the rice option instead of mashed potatoes. I opted for a side french fries instead. at Kani Ka Pila Grille in Honolulu

Recommend deletion from HC

Vegetarian - 1 main, 3 salads, a few sides.
Vegan - zilch. Person doing the seating just shrugged when I asked about getting something.

Pros: Good music vibe

Cons: No vegan options

It’s possible

Definitely a menu where you have to sub things or just leave them off. Beyond burger is still an option for vegetarians. The west Oahu garden napoleon was pretty good. Sub rice for the mashed potatoes, or get a side of something else.

They had no idea what vegan was when we stopped in for breakfast. I asked if the avocado toast was safe without the aioli and was told yes, then asked if I wanted to add eggs on top. Should have been the first red flag. It came out covered in butter. Better off going somewhere else entirely for this time of day.

New menu, no real vegan

We just went into this place last night, looking for the vegan options and jackfruit tacos, but they have a whole new menu now as of 9/26/21 anyway. And there didn't seem to be any customization options for vegans. The waiter basically shook his head and said yeah, they're all about fish and meat now. We had to walk out.

Great vegan food and live entertainment

A really cute poolside bar and grill serving a few different vegan options. The menu clearly marks what is vegan making it easy to pick. I ordered the tacos and they were delicious. The live music which they have every night is also a great touch!

Poolside restaurant

I rented a cabana at the Outrigger Hotel and was surprised to find that this poolside restaurant served many vegan options! The menu is clearly marked vegan, vegetarian, and also gluten-free. I had the banh mi and sweet potato fries and they were really good. The food is a little pricey but the serving size was big.

Pros: Outdoor seating, Great food, Cocktails

Cons: Expensive
