Creativity & Delicous Food At Big Island's Hilo Bay Cafe

Unassuming hole in the wall is home to Hilo's classiest & modern eatery

Nestled in an unassuming strip mall in central Hilo on the east side of the Big Island, Hilo Bay is a hidden gem providing sleek modern decor and gourmet food. An ideal place for a first date or a family celebration, Hilo Bay Cafe is definitely one of the classier places to dine in Hilo.

With a changing menu working with the available harvest from the island and the ocean, you'll always be surprised to find a refreshing menu revamp just about any time you go. Even the beer selection changes with the seasons depending on what's available from local breweries like the Kona Brewing Company.

With a creative and gourmet take on many traditional comfort foods, you may find items on the menu like a pot-pie or truly new and creative dishes such as sesame-crusted mahi-mahi with steamed rice, sauteed bok choy and king crab with sake miso cream. Appetizers may include an artichoke spinach parmesan bisque.

A full bar also offers wine, and is a place you'll find friendly chatter at night. Attire is casual, but it's a good idea to step it up a little, at least for dinner. A night at this cafe is when the locals will put on their favorite dress or button-up shirt, and enjoy a nice night out on the town.
