I would have never expected that one of the best meals I had is at the Honolulu Museum of Art Cafe. Filet mignon burger was the perfect portion to be shared with 2 people, the medium rare beef steak could be sufficient as the dinner for the meal.
We were lucky that we arrived at the cafe 5 to 10 minutes before the last order. You may also make a reservation ahead to ensure that you have a spot for seating.
We typically dine in at museum cafe / restaurant to support them. This place is definitely a hidden gem in Honolulu. We had burgers / sandwiches but they tasted much better than hotel restaurants in Waikiki. (We stayed at Hyatt, Hilton Garden inn and Hilton Hawaiian village.)
They don’t have kids menu but can prepare cheese pasta for kids and probably something else. As described at their webpage, reservation is highly recommended. We went there on Saturday and had to wait 40 minutes.
Inspiring place to bring the kids for lunch and learning. A perfect blend of urban, art and outdoor ambience. We started with brunch, did the Gallery Hunt, and took pictures in the various courtyards. Definitely adding this to our rotation of weekend family-friendly activities.
Had the salmon, very tasty. The Arnold Palmer was unique and would order again. Very friendly service.
Great place for lunch. Beautiful art and no tourists.
The filet mignon was reasonable and delicious. Their lunch is highly recommend.
Great, relaxing family café
Nice ambience, brunches are better than the lunches I have had there. Now, if they could only upgrade the coffee bar. Had the worst tuna sandwich ever there. It was served on a refrigerated ciabatta that was tough and stale. Please, never serve ciabatta cold, it tastes like dry cardboard then.
Wonderful place to relax and enjoy food/drinks while at the museum.
Delightful setting for lunch or snacks! Nice menu and food as well.
