Sarah’s Favorite Allergy-Friendly Hawaii Spots

Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’m excited to share my recent honeymoon to Hawaii! I found many safe places to eat in Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, and the Big Island while managing peanut, tree nut, soy, sesame, shellfish, mustard, legume, and fruit allergies. One of my favorite spots was Paia Fish Market, where I got fresh fish cooked to order! For a sweet treat, check out Aunty Sandy’s Banana Bread, where I’d recommend their freshly baked banana bread!

“The best experience! We had the best time and they took food allergies very seriously. Felt comfortable eating at the restaurants and by the pool. Also went to the spa and they changed the oil used for the massage to make sure it was 100% safe. Ate breakfast there every morning. I ordered off the buffet and then all food was prepared safely in the back for me. Everything was presented with food allergy toothpicks and there was a clear understanding of the severity of cross-contamination. They remembered my allergies day-to-day and went above and beyond. Could not recommend enough!”

“THE BEST LUAU! Buffet is totally nut-free, except for coconut (including desserts). To accommodate my other allergies, they made me separate plates of all the food, adapting the buffet options for my allergies. They texted me that morning to make sure they had all my allergies noted and to ask if there was anything specific I would like extra of. Always exciting when I can eat dessert too! “
