Best French Restaurants in Waikiki

Wow, we had an incredible first experience here. We did the tasting menu (both vegetarian and meat menus) at Chefs counter. Each course was unique and delicious. Service was excellent. Love the focus on local ingredients. Great ambiance and we loved watching the chefs at work. Highly recommend, we can’t wait to return.

Like I always say, with Miro Kaimuki, you come for the food, stay for the people. And the food. And the creativity. And the beautiful presentations. And the people. Especially the people. And the food.

We had a lovely evening at Michel’s, where the ambience and menu took us back to an earlier time. It was really fun to enjoy the tableside service for the Cesar salad and lobster bisque—we had the Tasting Menu which did not include a flaming dessert, but we watched the show at neighboring tables. A grand merci beaucoup to our server Michael. He was extremely helpful and professional. We also appreciated meeting the chef, who has done a great job of adding some of his German heritage to the French-Hawaiian cuisine. We had an excellent meal and would definitely recommend the restaurant for a special night out in Honolulu.

Friendly waiters and food is always so tasty. Quality is consistent and menu is outstanding. Would recommend this place every time we dine there.

La Mer is such a special restaurant—Chef Trancher and his team provide the best blend of French and Hawaiian cuisine with excellent wines and exceptional service. We were there last year and it was the first restaurant we booked once we made our plans to return to Honolulu this December. La Mer would have Michelin stars if Hawaii restaurants were rated by Michelin. It is a perfect spot for a special occasion or to just enjoy amazing food prepared with great attention to detail. It is worth every penny for this unforgettable dining experience!
