Bar Acuda (Hanalei)
22° 12.2′ N · 159° 29.8′ W · approximate
A small, sought-after tapas and wine bar in the old Hanalei schoolhouse center, run by chef Jim Moffat with a seasonal, Mediterranean-leaning menu built on local produce - the north shore's dress-up dinner.
Practical
5-5161 Kuhio Highway (Hanalei Center, Suite 4), Hanalei. Reservations are strongly recommended (Hawaii Magazine) and are taken through Resy (Pearl listing); phones listed in different sources: (808) 826-7081 (Honolulu Magazine 2018) and (808) 855-7802 (Pearl listing). Hours differ by source: Honolulu Magazine (2018) daily 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm; the newer Pearl listing Tuesday to Saturday 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm, closed Sunday and Monday - verify locally. The old restaurantbaracuda.com domain no longer belongs to the restaurant (it redirected to an unrelated site in October 2026), so book through Resy or by phone. Coordinate is approx: it is the OpenStreetMap position of Hanalei Gourmet, which shares the 5-5161 Kuhio Highway address.
