2022 James Beard Award Winner for Best Chef Northwest & Pacific. Rooted in the local farm-to-table movement — a place where seasonality and culinary tradition are celebrated in tandem. One part Hawaii and one part Brooklyn. The atmosphere shares a brasserie feel with a laid-back island sensibility—a celebration and homage to all of our favorite things we enjoy eating and drinking. Crafted with brick & reclaimed wood, our urban Hawaiian farmhouse features an open kitchen, lush plant wall, brick walls, and lots of natural light in a historic Chinatown building. The bar mixes classic and modern cocktails with artisanal flare with a well-curated wine list.
“In general they have really good food, drinks, and service. The atmosphere is nice too. Would recommend getting a reservation before going though. It can get quite crowded. The one negative would be the pasta wasn’t al dente enough for me. Other than that everything was great.”
“The best meal throughout our trip was at Fête! Our only regret was not taking pictures of every course. Chuck, one of the owners, was the best host. His passion for service and quality must be emphasized. The ambiance is not the focus or talking point - the food and wine are. We ordered the specials: beet salad and baked oysters (not Rockefeller). Divine! The Fête spread was unique and light. It was clear from this (and the beet salad) that most, if not all, of the ingredients are local. You do not leave here feeling heavy or stuffed. It is The Best. The service was outstanding. The staff were attentive and kind. We felt like locals. This is a must if you want to be happy with every bite.”
“I had lunch at Fête with my family and absolutely loved the experience. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. What really stands out is their commitment to using organic, locally sourced ingredients, which makes every dish taste vibrant and delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was excellent, and everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Fête to anyone looking for a great place to enjoy high-quality food in Honolulu. We will definitely be back! 😊🍽️”
“Service was fantastic, but the food is the star. Everything was super ono. The spreads for their appetizer were all creamy and the bread was perfectly warmed and toasted. The Chaz burger and Mahi sandwich special were both well prepared and tasty. The crispy potatoes were crispy on the outside and very soft inside and their homemade ketchup awesome. There's street parking if you're lucky, and nearby parking lots and structures.”
“First time in Hawaii but we had heard about Fete all the way back in Texas! We decided to stop in for an early dinner as we tried to adjust to the new time zone and we are so glad we did! We were greeted right away and seated by our very friendly server. The restaurant is very cute and inviting and larger than it initially appears as you enter. We started with the special of the day which was a delicious salad with Greens, Beets, Crisp Shallots, and Avocado. It was light and absolutely delicious. We then had the Smoked Ono Club which was super tasty and the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich. For the Korean Chicken the taste was absolutely on point, but I would have liked just a bit less sauce so the bun could have better held together. Overall it was a delightful meal and a great start to our vacation!”
