Duke’s Waikiki Oahu

It’s what you came for - authentic Waikiki. You are invited to experience old Waikiki at Duke’s, the world-famous restaurant named for our favorite son, Duke Kahanamoku. Right between two of our most spectacular grand hotels on Waikiki beach, the Moana Surfrider and the Royal Hawaiian, Duke’s has been a driving force in reinvigorating Waikiki with Hawaiian culture and lore. With Diamond Head in the distance, you can overlook the spot where Duke rode his largest wave - a 30 foot swell named Bluebird from outside Castles - as you sit on the original site of the Outrigger Canoe Club where Duke reigned the beach.Our staff invites you into our ohana (Hawaiian for family) as we offer delicious original Hawaiian-influenced cuisine, a generous helping of Aloha spirit, and one of the most famous views found anywhere. With the sun-setting, dinner at Duke’s is less like a meal and more like a dream. With the surf crashing before you, and the palms rustling together, the Lilikoi sisters stroll from table to table singing and playing the gentle rhythms of old Hawaiian songs.Come sunrise, you can always enjoy Duke’s breakfast buffet. We offer a plentiful spread of breakfast favorites with something for everyone in the family. We also offer one of the most magical moments in all of Hawaii—an uncrowded, just waking, Waikiki Beach as the ocean reflects the colors of the sun rising over Diamond Head. The beauty of old Hawaii is found in the early mornings as you look out on the surf of Waikiki BayWith salt in your hair and sand on your feet, step off the beach and into Duke’s to feast on our lunch buffet. With catamarans on the waves and gentle breezes on your face, will you ever be the same again?
