Orchids
*Orchids is temporarily closed until further notice.
Orchids is Halekulani’s casually elegant, oceanfront restaurant, and one of the top restaurants on Oahu serving breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as the best Sunday Brunch Honolulu offers.
The cuisine at Orchids celebrates the sophisticated flavors of the coastal Italian regions. Chef de Cuisine, Christian Testa, infused his own distinctive flair to create signature dishes including a Harris Ranch Prime Beef Filet appetizer, served with thinly sliced prime filet, arugula salad, parmesan, mushroom and truffle aioli; Homemade Lasagnette featuring freshly chef-made pasta, local Kahuku prawns, scallops and avocado; as well as several other uniquely tantalizing creations.
