About
If you're looking for a unique culinary adventure, look no further than Foster's Kitchen in the Coconut Grove Marketplace in Kona, Hawaii.
This local hotspot serves fresh and delicious cuisine using only the finest ingredients sourced from the surrounding islands. The menu at Foster's Kitchen is a fusion of Hawaiian and international flavors, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to try something new.
A standout feature is its commitment to cooking with locally sourced ingredients. Working closely with local farmers and fishermen, Foster's Kitchen ensures that each dish contains the freshest, most flavorful ingredients possible. Such dedication helps support the local community and results in dishes fresh from the ocean and garden. Even their cocktails utilize fresh fruit and are more upscale than nearby taverns, resulting in refreshing, tantalizing libations.
Known as a "scratch kitchen," this incredible restaurant has also been called "slow food." Such a label doesn't imply incompetency but rather an attention to culinary detail. Some meals take longer to prepare, but the wait is worth it!
Dining here is a wonderful experience, and its central location makes it easy to combine a meal with a fun-filled itinerary. The Kailua Pier is a short walk away, while the Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park is ideal for a picnic and exploring.
Foster's Kitchen in the Coconut Grove Marketplace is a culinary adventure you will never forget. With its unique blend of Hawaiian and international flavors, commitment to using locally sourced ingredients, and delightful desserts, this restaurant should be at the top of your list when visiting the Big Island.
Vibe
The atmosphere here is incredible! It's in a chic two-story building with a breathtaking bay view. The interior is spacious, with an open-floor concept and wooden ceilings in key spots. And the turquoise and similar ocean colors make the room feel tranquil yet vibrant.
For the ultimate dining experience, get a table by the front railing for a picture-perfect ocean view. It's the spot to unwind after a day exploring the ocean with Captain Zodiac.
If you're in the Coconut Grove Marketplace, I highly recommend Foster's Kitchen for a unique dining experience.
Foster's Kitchen: Menu & Drinks
If you're ready for an incredible culinary menu, then this is the place for you!
Start your culinary journey with the Poke Bowl Special, a classic Hawaiian dish made with fresh poke and served over a bed of rice. For the main course, the Loco Moco will satisfy your hunger after exploring Kiholo Bay. This meal consists of a hearty burger on a bed of rice with rich gravy and a fried egg.
But Fosters Kitchen's real magic lies in its dessert menu. The Malasadas, a traditional Hawaiian doughnut, is a must-try. These fluffy and sweet treats are fried to perfection and come with various dipping sauces.
The bar menu has an extensive list for beer and wine lovers, but the cocktail options are exceptional. While their Mai Tai is a hit, the Rosarito Margarita is a crowd hit. The drink showcases hibiscus syrup, Reposado tequila, amaro, and fresh basil. It's a lovely island twist to a typical margarita.
With picture-perfect ocean views, stellar food, and refreshing beverages, it's no wonder Foster's Kitchen is a hit in Kailua-Kona!
