Hawaiʻi's top chefs unite for Best of Hawaii's Best Kitchens 2026
Eleven of Honolulu's top restaurants will serve at a food gala this Saturday, good news for local diners and for the charities getting the proceeds.
- The Best of Hawaii's Best Kitchens gala takes place Saturday at the Hyatt Regency in Waikīkī.
- Eleven restaurants are cooking, including Adi's Steakhouse and Lounge, Dean & DeLuca, and other Waikīkī spots.
- The event grew out of a local Instagram account that spotlights small island restaurants.
- Two nonprofits share the money this year, and there will be raffles and a silent auction.
- Tables are sold out, but a few general admission tickets remain.
Outlook: Expect a sellout by the weekend, with the event's charity tie-in likely making it a fixture on Honolulu's food calendar.
