I read a blog once that said if you are spending time in Kailua on a Thursday, skip any restaurant and go to the Kailua Farmer’s Market. I am here to confirm this is 100% the best recommendation.
It’s half in a parking lot, half in a parking garage and has a significant number of food/goods vendors. The lines were long but moved quickly.
I had to commit to something… so I picked a Portuguese cheese bread and three empanadas from these two vendors and a couple brownies from another. The empanadas were OUT OF THIS WORLD. I am not sure how I’m not going to get those every time.
My friend got Falafel from the middle eastern place, which I sampled and also thought was delicious.
The biggest and most disappointing part of this is there isn’t really any public seating… so next time I think I’d bring my lawn chairs and set up camp in the parking lot and enjoy the music and eat.
Instead, we took it back to my friend’s apartment, which is a short walk, and ate it on her Lanai.
But I can’t enjoy the ice cream for dessert that way! This is a Thursday must go for me now. I’m still dreaming of the empanadas.
