It was truly unexpected that my most memorable experience on a recent trip to Hana was spent at a food truck. But the special, delicious food served, and the proprietors and customers alike, made for a special evening. The food truck, parked just beyond the entrance of the Hotel Hana, serves delicious and creative vegetarian food- and so much better... More

Trip Adviser reviews led us to Cafe Romantica in Hana. This little gem serves excellent food that also happens to be healthy and vegetarian. We enjoyed Chef Hans who was charming and welcoming with a friendly aloha spirit. We also enjoyed his special French Quiche for lunch.....best quiche ever and healthiest too! This is a charming Hawaiian experience....essentially an upscale... More

We were visiting beautiful Hana and I saw signs about vegetarian offerings at Cafe Romantica. I wanted to check it out so after we got a place for the night, we ventured to the Cafe. What a fun and funky eatery it is by the side of the road. It is not your typical restaurant, which is one of the... More

I would love to take a cooking class from Hans and Lori and learn their magic. Why? The Mung bean soup was just amazing. (How does one get that much flavor out of mung beans?) Vegetarian "beef wellington" was super good and totally unexpected. (How does one get a vegan patty to not taste like cardboard?) The desserts are fantastic.... More

Wow, the food here is fantastic! I kept talking about it for days... Hans and Lori Lee (the owners) are not only brilliant chefs but also such friendly and interesting people. All of the food is made fresh every single day - all organic, all vegetarian. I have to say that my husband is a serious meat eater and he... More

Once we discovered Cafe Romantica during our 7-day stay in Hana we didn't eat anywhere else. The strudel was the best we'd ever eaten, and we were completely bowled over by the tiramisu, the chocolate truffle, and loved all of the other food. We shared a veggie burger wellington (delicious flaky crust and cilantro chutney on the side), some of... More

The other reviews have it spot-on, but there is one thing that has not been mentioned. Don't worry about reading the menu, posted on a sign in front of the place. Really, most of it is not being served then anyway. Just go up to the counter, and ask Laura Lee what she recommends. Today was my fifth visit to... More

I have been coming to Hana for over 40 years and have to say that this was one of the best meals I have ever had in Hana - or anywhere for that matter. Chef Lori (her husband wasn't there) was swamped with a line of about 15 folks, but remained pleasant and controlled and even passed out samples of... More

Our family of four had lasagne, veggie burger, curry, and quiche; all were very tasty. I'm not a vegetarian but if he cooked for me each night i might become one. We then had three terrific desserts The only bad part was it cost $75 now this wouldn't be too much if sitting inside a nice restaurant but here you... More
