Tante's Island Cuisine

Aloha and Welcome To Tante's Island Cuisine

Hi, I'm Tante Urban, owner of Tante's Island. Whether you are visiting Hawaii or lucky enough to live here we thank you for stopping by to share a meal with us here at Tante's Island Cuisine. We have a diverse menu for you, featuring both American and continental dishes and, thanks to Hawaii's mix of ethnic cultures, many popular or special local favorites. We like to use locally-sourced foods when possible- tropical fruits, island vegetables and or course, lots of fresh fish caught right here in the Hawaiian waters. Having a restaurant like this one has been a dream of mine since I came to Hawaii from the Phillipines in 1968 and graduated from the University of Hawaii at Hilo with a degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management. After years of trainingas a chef, I opened my first Tante's in Kona 25 years ago. We are a family run restaurant, three generations working together with the motto of "Good Food, Good Service, Good Price" I'm proud of my heritage and have made dishes from my home-land part of my restaurant menu. It gives people a chance to try something a bit more exotic- like my signature Shrimp Sari Sari and I guess they like it: Tante's has been voted best Filipino Restaurant a dozen times in the annual readers poll conducted by the local newspaper West Hawaii Today. We invite yo to join us for breakfast, lunch or dinner and to experience the flavors of
Hawaii "Local Style" with a mixture of various ethnic cuisines. On behalf of myself, my
family and our staff we hope you enjoy dining at Tante's.
