Bar Acuda Kauai is the Coolest Place to Relax With Friends, Share Tapas and Sip Some Wine
Kauai is beyond beautiful and one trip is all it takes to fall madly in love with the scenery, the energy, the serenity, and the simplicity of island life. Few will visit Hanalei Town on the North Shore without savoring the rich and beautiful flavors delivered by Owners, Chef Jim and Sonja Moffat’s Tapas and Wine Bar, Bar Acuda. The chic island eatery, with a big city vibe, offers a small but delicious selection of tapas (small plates). The menu has a nice balance of salads, seasonal vegetables, meats, fish, and a few nightly specials including a pizza. The desserts are hard to resist and the cocktails and wines pair beautifully.
