About Monkeypod Kitchen

Chef Peter Merriman's casual gastropub, on the Waikiki shoreline.

Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman is the casual-dining concept from chef Peter Merriman, a pioneer of Hawaii Regional Cuisine. The Waikiki location sits inside the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort on Kalia Road, steps from the beach, and serves the brand's signature menu of hand-tossed pizzas, fresh local fish, farm salads, and the Monkeypod Mai Tai — built with house-made macadamia nut orgeat and honey-lilikoi foam.

The kitchen sources from local Oahu and Big Island farms and fisheries (Hirabara Farm, MA'O Organic Farms, Small Kine Farms, Waiahole homestead taro, Kamuela tomatoes), and the restaurant is recognized as an Ocean Friendly Restaurant. The bar pours 29 rotating Hawaii and West Coast craft beers on tap plus an extensive wine room program.
