Ward Farmer’s Market

Rating / ★★★☆☆

We stumbled upon Ward’s Farmer’s Market by accident in Honolulu. Their big green Farmers Market sign caught our attention while driving by. The market is located across the street from Ward Centers in a parking lot with a mish mash of a kiosks serving cooked food, a jewellery stand and Lin’s Hawaiian snacks.

Little Village Noodle House

Rating / ★★☆☆☆

Honolulu has a pretty interesting Chinatown, bustling with activity, old buildings, fruit stands and numerous trading companies selling all sorts of knick knacks. Little Village Noodle House fits comfortably into the neighbourhood, but delivers a meal that doesn’t quite resonate with the same soul.

Leonard’s Bakery

Rating / ★★★★☆

Leonard’s Bakery on Kapahulu Avenue in Honolulu is a popular hole in the wall bakery. The line ups can become long for a taste of its most famed attraction — deep fried yeast dough resembling a Portuguese version of a doughnut without a hole — the malasada.

Side Street Inn

Rating / ★★★★☆

Honolulu’s Side Street Inn is a Sports Bar. It’s a greasy spoon, a watering hole, and it’s a local landmark. This unassuming restaurant, which is literally located on the side street of Hopaka, serves up a primarily Asian menu: Korean Kal Bi finds itself at home next to Teriyaki chicken, Chinese fried rice and fried pork chops.

Campagnolo Roma

Rating / ★★★★☆

Campagnola Roma is the relatively new kid on the block in the Hastings and Sunrise neighbourhood. It’s part of a cluster of restaurants, both older (Le Do and Seri Malaysia) and newer (Red Wagon Cafe, Bo Laksa) providing the East Hastings corridor with a diverse range of restaurants. While the original Campagnolo’s dishes hail from the Northern parts of Italy, Campagnola Roma travels a little further South to Rome.
