Chef Mavro

This Honolulu institution provides its patrons with an education in gourmet French cuisine with a Hawaiian accent.. In Short
Chef Mavro's dining room--filled with etched glass windows, gentle lighting, fresh flowers and local art--creates a quiet atmosphere conducive to focusing on the French-accented delights created by James Beard Award-winning Chef George Mavrothalassitis. The utmost care is taken to match the freshest ingredients and flavors in meticulously thought-out dishes. The seasonal menu, reflecting the availability of local ingredients, is a set menu, featuring three-, four- or six-course options, with or without wine pairings. (As with the flavors in the dishes, the wine pairings are perfectly chosen.) Sample menu items might include an escabeche of diver scallops, served with a salad of celery root and granny smith apple, green tomato gazpacho, and fougasse chips; Kurobuta pork (roasted loin and braised belly) with cannellini bean purée, haricots verts and black cumin pineapple; or a stellar morsel of tender Keahole lobster with cream of kahuku corn and a chorizo puff. Desserts are no less captivating, running the gamut from refreshing homemade sorbets to sinfully inviting lilikoi malasadas.…
