Good vibes, good food, good service

Great vibes! All the servers were super cool and friendly and seemed to all get along and enjoy working there.
The vegan options were creative and upscale.

Exquisite Fine Dining Tasting Menu

Everything was incredible. It's worth it. So many ingredients one doesn't usually encounter, local produce, prepared by master chefs.

Exceptional food and service

The plant based degustation is highly recommended to anyone looking for a fine dining experience while in Waikiki. Chef Nae has composed a brilliant symphony of flavours and textures that were creatively presented. The staff - particularly Johnny - were knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Truly outstanding to have an offering like this in Waikiki.

Pros: Locally sourced produce, Thoughtful flavours and presentation, Non alcoholic drink pairings

Cons: Not for those on a tight budget

Loved the vegan pasta dishes

Loved the vegan corn gnocchi and pesto, however, it’s a shame this restaurant isn’t fully vegan or even vegetarian!

Pros: Unique pasta dishes

Cons: Not fully vegan

Interesting but not delicious

natuRe, located upstairs from Zigu, is an elevated, fine dining experience. The service was attentive, although the food came out incredibly slowly. The menu of vegan options is also extensive. The food was interesting but not delicious. By far, one of the best choices was the truffle fries, which came with a generous dusting of truffles on perfectly cooked skinny fries. The black garlic alioli had a creamy mouth feel that paired perfectly with the fries.
For me, the pesto dish was a total miss. The pesto tasted off. Perhaps the mix of vegan cheese and no pine nuts just didn't work. It was also extremely salty, and I love salt. The desert was good. The cashew ice cream had a flawless texture. For a high-end restaurant, the experience felt uneven. Attentive staff but food took a ridiculously long time to come out. Interesting food ideas, beautifully plated but some serious misses with flavor.

Best Prix Fixe Vegan Menu Anywhere

One of the most creative vegan offerings I have ever had with a six-course menu. Amazing presentations, exciting flavors, and unparalleled creativity make this cozy spot a must when I’m in Waikiki.

Could be better

Reviews misled me to believe there were a lot of vegan options. In reality there was only one vegan main course on the regular menu. On the plus side, that option was not a veggie burger like it is at so many other places. There was a vegan appetizer and a vegan dessert too so that was nice. But on the down side, the meal was very pricey.

Pros: One vegan option in each category

Cons: Expensive

Fine dining all vegan, woo!

So so cool to find a fine dining restaurant that is all vegan. The 4 of us did it and we all got the different drink pairing which was nice to have all of those options too. The food was loaded with flavor in every single bite. I know it’s fine dining, I just wish there was a little bit more in each course because it is so delicious!!! We ended up getting both desserts afterwards because we just knew it would be worth it!

Pros: Nice presentation, Theme of sustainability , Hawaiian flavors coming through

Cons: Small portions but it is fine dining

True vegan fine dining. It was such a treat to have the most creative and thoughtful vegan dishes throughout the entire vegan tasting menu. I can’t emphasize how RARE this experience is for vegans. Michelin star flavor profiles, exceptional service and ambiance. Another first for me was the non alcoholic paring which was so thoughtfully curated to compliment each course. It is a must try for anyone vegan or not. I’m just beaming at how wonderful this experience was. I already booked another reservation.

5++++++ Stars

This was an INCREDIBLE meal. 5 courses of thoughtful, provocative, delicious vegan food that felt like a Michelin starred feast. Not only that - but we did the non-alcoholic pairing and again- we were just beyond impressed - so often the non- drinkers have so few options. Not here. Honestly, one of the best meals of my life - what an absolute treat. If you only go to one restaurant, or splurge on one meal when you are in Waikiki- make it this one.

Pros: Michelin star quality food, Amazing service, Outstanding non-alcoholic cocktails

Amazing Vegan Options. Everything was fantastic especially the service (John)

They actually highly cater to vegans. There’s a full vegan plant based tasting menu and several vegan options for a couple to enjoy.

Pros: Elevated vegan dishes , If I owned a restaurant I’d hire John!!!!, Vegan tasting menu

Cons: We don’t have one in Los Angeles

5+ Stars!

Everything about this place was a treat from start to finish. This is high end dining, definitely not an every day place (but not stuffy). The food was PHENOMENAL. The plant-based tasting menu was *chef’s kiss*. The experience was divine. We sat at the kitchen counter and got to watch the food being prepared. The service was incredible. The whole experience probably took a couple hours, and we savored every minute. If you find yourself in Waikiki and want to treat yourself to a luxurious vegan meal, don’t miss this experience.

Pros: Vegan tasting menu and à la carte , Exquisite and unusual vegan dishes, Friendly, attentive staff

Cons: Expensive (but worth it)

Perfect place for special occasions

We tried the plant-based tasting menu with the wine pairing. The presentation, flavor combination and service were amazing! We also loved the vegan twist on the traditional hawaiian dishes. A must try!

Vegan Date Night

Large selection of vegan options on the Ala carte menu, plus a 100% vegan tasting menu. Dishes are creative, delicious and made with local ingredients supporting small farms. New dishes are added every few months. There are also excellent non-alcoholic cocktails as well as a non-alcoholic pairing to go with the tasting menu. Highly recommended!

Pros: Knowledgeable and friendly staff, Beautiful ambiance, Hidden gem in Waikiki

Wonderful plant-based tasting menu!!

Usually I don’t choose any vegan/vegetarian options in restaurant.

But their plant-based course sounds interesting and attractive.

I was supper surprised how they make such a savory dish only using plant ingredients.

Portobello Mushroom Laulau Pithivier -main dish was damn great!

I ordered sweet potato mont blanc as desert.
It was awesome as well!

Definitely I recommend even not vegan and vegetarian.

Delicious and locally sourced plant based options

My wife and I had a wonderful time here. The food was delicious and they have an all vegan multi course sampling menu. A la carte portions are on the smaller side.

Pros: Many very delicious vegan options , Friendly and fun atmosphere, All foods are locally sourced

Cons: Expensive, Small portions
