Long before its reputation as the premier dining destination among the Hawaiian islands, CanoeHouse stood as a canoe storage site where Duke Kahanamoku and Babe Ruth sought respite in the idyllic beaches surrounding the soon-to-be restaurant. After opening its doors in 1989, this beloved institution has since become a gathering place for generations of friends, families and neighbors. Helmed by Executive Chef Mark Libunao, CanoeHouse features thoughtful, seasonal dishes that celebrate Hawaii’s landscape as well as its farmers and purveyors.
