BREAKFAST
|
| Ask anyone with high standards on breakfast and they'll tell you: It's tough to find perfection. Lots of places have great local-style breakfasts — Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice, or fried rice with an egg on top. But few places have it all: good food, good coffee, sit-down service, reasonable prices and no Styrofoam.
Other breakfast spots elsewhere in this guide: Brent's Restaurant & Delicatessen; Kaka'ako Kitchen; Nico's at Pier 38; Orchids; Sam Choy's Breakfast, Lunch & Crab; Pineapple Room. Most high-end hotels have exceptional breakfasts, but prices are steep. |

Boots & Kimo's Homestyle Kitchen
The catchy name of this restaurant commemorates the long-held dream of Rick and Jesse Kiakona's late father, "Boots," to open a restaurant, and the assistance of their late uncle, Kimo, who was head chef and helped them get started in 1994. The folksy plate lunches here include the standards with Hawaiian-style pulehu ribs as the signature dish at lunch, with Uncle Kimo's famous pancakes with macadamia sauce a big seller at breakfast. Inexpensive, with lots of aloha.
131 Hekili St., Kailua. 263-7929. 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, 6:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday- Sunday; closed Monday, except on holidays. No reservations. No credit cards. No checks. $.
