We are overjoyed to have been named as the 'Best place to eat' on Kauai in the new Hawaii Guide book by Pauline Frommer.

"Blossoming Lotus, Kauai: At this affordable, eco friendly, gourmet vegan place, you can get roasted-red-pepper curry for dinner and a kava brownie for dessert.

The Blossoming Lotus could very well be the best restaurant on the island, in terms of quality ingredients and distinctive taste. The food is absolutely divine: creative, fresh, healthful and packed with flavor."
- Frommer's Hawaii 2006

THE NATION.

We are honored to be listed in The Nation Magazine's September 11th issue as a "Four-Star Food Favorite".

Four-Star Food Favorites
"If you are so lucky as to find yourself in downtown Kapaa, Kauai, please visit the 100 percent vegan, certified green, organic oasis of the Pacific: the Blossoming Lotus Restaurant.

With menu items like Padma's Living Pad Thai, made with young coconut flesh and fresh, perfectly matched spices, or the Vegan Omelet with Tofu Bacon (a Sunday brunch favorite), you'll wonder if all food isn't supposed to be followed by a euphoric high. Much thanks to the Blossoming Lotus for providing sustenance based on a food philosophy of raising community and consciousness."

Intimately familiar with its pitfalls and its power, Baron, an intelligent and deliberate man, holds himself with a dignified mindfulness and positive aire.
