Okay, all of that talk about chicken made me hungry so let me tell you about where I went for dinner last night.
If you haven’t been to Postcards Café, then you should go at least once. Their menu has great seafood and many organic recipes that look good and taste great. Plus, they are pretty affordable. They serve many classic Kauai dishes, putting their own spin on island traditions. From grilled fish to goat cheese crostinis, you will always find something you like at this café. And, for those who require a special menu, this place has got you covered.
I always go to Postcards Café with my friend, Malea. Why? Well, she is a vegan and her family is gluten intolerant. For a long time, it was difficult for them to find a place where they could all eat and enjoy the food. Luckily for them, Postcards has a large organic menu, many vegan dishes, and several gluten free ones as well. Her entire family can eat there without any problem, and they love it.
Last night, I tried something a bit different. I wanted to be able to recommend the vegan menu, so I tried some vegan items myself. Here is what I found: Try the Hanalei Taro Fritter. It’s incredibly good and is both gluten free and vegan. The Sombrero (think enchiladas) was my main dish and it was both gluten free and vegan as well. And have I mentioned how delicious it was? In fact, I was so full from eating it all that I barely had room for dessert… but that would defeat the purpose of my vegan experiment. So, of course, dessert was a must.
Malea recommended Postcards’ Famous Choclate Silk – the Vegan’s Delight. Wow. If you like graham crackers, cherries, cashews, and chocolate, then you will love this. I’m not the biggest fan of cherries, but even I had to admit that it was good. It tasted just like something made with butter and eggs in it… except they weren’t there! This dish was completely vegan.
So, if you want a place on the island where your whole family can eat, regardless of their allergies or food preferences, try Postcards. I think you’ll really like it.
