Papa Kona
About
When in Hawaii (Big Island), Papa Kona is the local business that greets first-time visitors from The Waterfront Row, 75-5770 Ali‘i Dr 1st Floor, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740, Estados Unidos. This restaurant sits on the Kona coast, a stretch that suits families, couples and solo travellers alike. Papa Kona draws a broad mix of diners who want a straightforward meal in Kailua-Kona rather than a formal occasion.
A 4.3 out of 5 rating across 1899 reviews places Papa Kona among the better-known restaurants in Kailua-Kona. That volume of feedback reflects steady traffic from visitors staying in Kona and nearby Captain Cook. The restaurant keeps a website at http://www.papakona.com/ for anyone planning ahead. Five photos accompany the listing, giving a sense of the space before arrival.
Papa Kona occupies the first floor of its building on Ali‘i Drive, an address that puts it within reach of the Kona resort area. Guests arriving from Kohala Coast or Waimea can drive down to Kailua-Kona and find the restaurant along the waterfront row. Hilo and Volcano lie further afield, so a meal here fits best into a day spent on the west side of the island.
Hawaii's leeward coasts, including Kona, stay drier and sunnier through the year, while the wetter months tend to fall between November and March. Hawaiian cooking leans on fresh seafood, poke, plate lunches and tropical fruit, so a restaurant meal here fits the local pattern. English and Hawaiian are the main languages, which makes ordering simple for most visitors. Direct flights from the US mainland bring travellers to the island, and inter-island flights and ferries link the main islands for onward trips.
