Hi ...

I'm Kathy from Kona. I have a list of restaurants where I eat. Here it is.

I just read a recommendation from who returned to the east

coast after her stay here. She ate successfully at Bubba Gump

(Kailua-Kona) , Donatoni's, and Kamuela Provision Company. The last

two are part of the Waikoloa Hilton. She said Donatoni's has gluten

free pasta (call ahead to make sure they're not out of it), and the

K. Provision Co. is a steakhouse.

Kathy

Restaurants

Kailua-Kona

Ba'le (Vietnamese) in the Kona Coast ShoppingCenter---lemon grass

chicken salad--non-spicy, summer roll (not the veggie--I didn't eat

the sauce, even tho they said it fit the criteria I had given

them--might be ok)

Pancho and Lefty's--shredded beef tacos, carne asada, house margarita

Big Island Grill--specials usually include fish--order it broiled

(they use flour in sautéed dishes, although will leave off the flour

if you ask--I think broiled is safer)--roast beef and roast pork

(specify " no gravy " )---garlic mashed potatoes (specify " no gravy " ).

They have a couple of gf desserts. I've had their crème brulee (not

always on the menu--it's sometimes listed with their specials) and

know other celiacs who have enjoyed their flourless chocolate cake.

Outback Steakhouse--ask for their gf menu (also available to you at

their website)

Ocean Seafood and Royal Jade Garden both have dishes I have eaten--I

pick a chicken/vegetable dish and say " I need white sauce--no flour

and no shoyu (soy sauce), or oyster sauce, but cornstarch, salt and

sugar are okay " . I tried that with beef broccoli once--they made it my

way, but it wasn't very tasty--so I stick to chicken. I just found a

new favorite: shrimp with cashews.

's-Kailua-Kona

L and L Drivein aka Hawaiian Barbecue is in the Lanihau Center and

Keauhou Shopping Center. I order Kalua Pork with rice and tossed

salad as an option (instead of macaroni salad). I tried their garlic

ahi……..I believe it was gluten free, but I didn't like it. …salty and

covered with garlic.

Also in Keauhou Center, there is Habanero's. I've eated nachos, soft

tacos (including beef, pork and chicken) there.

Honalo

Teshima's restaurant---They are accustomed to serving me " Upcountry

Chopped Steak " or " Chopped Chicken " ---tell them " no oyster

sauce " --using my shoyu (San J Tamari which I provide). I eat their

rice, cucumber salad (namasu)….but do not drink their tea--it appears

to have barley in it. You would have to take in your own San J tamari

or whatever you prefer, for them to use in the preparation.

Kainaliu/Kealakekua

Keei Café at Hokukano--Open for lunch and dinner--closed Monday. I

have eaten the pork chop entrée, with pineapple salsa and also the

steak cooked in red wine sauce. Delicious and gluten free.

I've also eaten the flan they serve for dessert.

Hi Jackie,

I can't vouch for all of the information I'm about to

paste into this e-mail, but it was my " cheat sheet "

for a visit to the Big Island about 3 years ago. I

gathered the info from various gluten free travel

websites.

If you end up near Hilo, Abundant Life Natural Foods

was terrific. They made me a safe GF sandwich.

I do recall that we ate out at probably the only

restuarant in Volcano (next to the gift store/gas

station) and it was NOT celiac friendly at all. It is

a super small town, so perhaps best to cook at home on

that part of the trip.

Good luck and have fun...

1. There are a couple of restuarants in Kona, on Alii

Drive, that I

like. One is Thai, and the other is Indonesian. I

don't remember their names, but

just walk down the street and you'll find them. All

the restuarants along the

South Kohala coast are in resorts. They tend to be

expensive but

accomodating. Hawaiian food is pretty good, GF-wise,

except for one

thing: soy sauce. All soy sauce used in Hawaii is

Kikkoman, which is

wheat-laden. So always ask about soy sauce. Plate

lunches (with " two

scoops rice " ) would be ideal for celiacs if it weren't

for the soy

sauce!

2. My brother lives in Hawi on the Kohala coast and I

checked out a tiny

health food store there. They had Pamela's cookies,

some GF pastas and

some GF cereals but not much else. If you are staying

in the resorts

the chefs should be pretty accomodating since they are

generally

well-trained. Fish in Hawaii is delicious and many

recipes will not use

breading. Also there are great fresh fruits to be

savored which can be

most cheaply obtained thru farmer's markets (there are

a few up the hill

in Waimea) Also, if you do go up to Waimea I

recommend a little lunch

place called " The Little Juice Shack " (in the

Ranch shopping

center) which has fresh squeezed juices, soups (made

there so you can

ask about ingredients) and lunch meats and cheeses for

bring-your-own

bread sandwiches.

3. We travelled to the big island last February.

Merrimans, 30 min.

from Kona, restaurant was fabulous, just call ahead

and speak to the

chef. Also, we stayed at the Orchid at Mauna Lani,

and they were

incredible. Again, call ahead and talk to the

executive chef.

4. We have been having great success with the Roy's

chain of fine

restaurants on the other islands. They keep our stuff

on file, so we get

a custom menu when we show up. There is a Roy's up at

Waikoloa, but that

is north of Kailua-Kona.

Please visit the Waimea Ranch House. We happened

upon this restaurant and it was FABULOUS! The owners are the chefs (husband and

wife team) and she has a food allergy so they were very understanding and accommodating.

I hope to visit again some day.

I'm not familiar with the Kona side, but a few things come to mind on the Hilo side. We are visiting there now for the Merrie Monarch hula fest, so we have just begun checking things out.1. Island Naturals food store in HiloI talked with the daughter of the owner/buyer for the store. Her mother has several CS/CD friends, so she has a lot of GF foods in the store. The prices are sometimes higher/lower than Whole Earth on the mainland.2. Maui Tacos in Hilo"Pepe Vega" of Maui Tacos wrote me that everything was okay except the flour tortillas and the enchilada sauce.3. Hilo farmers market. Every Wednesday and Friday. Foods are mostly prepared by the people selling them, so they will tell you what you need to know about the

ingredients.
