Try the Special 5-0 Menu at Turtle Bay Resort

Throughout July

In honor of Turtle Bay Resort’s 50th anniversary this year, there’s a limited-time “5-0 menu” at Alaia, the resort’s main dining venue. A play on the resort’s anniversary, the menu features five dishes with zero waste. For example, the cob of the corn is used to make stock, and papaya seeds are used to make dressing. Ingredients hail from the Kuilima Farm on the property and other North Shore producers. We’re drooling over dishes like grain salad with red quinoa, wild rice, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, feta and papaya dressing; free range roasted moa with wild rice risotto, Pacific Pono corn puree and wild herbs; and a passion fruit opera bar with Kuilima Farm passion fruit, mixed berry compote and coconut cream.
