When Roy Yamaguchi decided to push his limits beyond his claim-to-culinary fame Roy’s franchise, Eating House 1849 was the move. The first location in Kōloa on Kaua‘i and now a second on the breezy top floor of International Market Place in Waikīkī. Inspired by a man name Peter Fernandez—who legend says opened Hawai‘i’s very first restaurant in (you guessed it) 1894—this alfresco retreat mirrors the menu of its muse concept that showcased an era in which Hawai‘i food depended heavily upon trades and imports. At this time, plantation workers, who, like Roy’s grandfather, came to the islands to work also brought with them their unique food culture. This cuisine amalgam paired with the quintessential Roy je ne sais quoi synergizes into a restaurant highlighted by mellow ambience, traditional flavors, contemporary twists and a vintage plantation town feel.
