2022 James Beard Award Winner for Best Chef Northwest & Pacific.

Rooted in the local farm-to-table movement — a place where seasonality and culinary tradition are celebrated in tandem. One part Hawaii and one part Brooklyn. The atmosphere shares a brasserie feel with a laid-back island sensibility—a celebration and homage to all of our favorite things we enjoy eating and drinking.

Crafted with brick & reclaimed wood, our urban Hawaiian farmhouse features an open kitchen, lush plant wall, brick walls, and lots of natural light in a historic Chinatown building. The bar mixes classic and modern cocktails with artisanal flare with a well-curated wine list.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Robynne Maii

  • Award icon
    James Beard Award2022

From the OpenTable editors: The first native Hawaiian woman to win a James Beard Award, chef Robynne Maii adds island twists to brasserie comforts at the nationally acclaimed Fête, like bavette steak glazed in a sticky-sweet sauce and topped with a sunny egg, carbonara tossed with the local favourite sausage, and smoked ono (aka wahoo fish) layered into a club sandwich. Don’t miss the rocky road ice cream – Maii originally trained as a pastry chef in NYC before bringing the party home to Honolulu.

    Our dinner at Fete was a highlight of our Hawaiian holiday, a perfect setting and incredible dinner. We recommend starting with the naturally flavored Mai-tai followed by the basil ceasar salad. Then, we shared the bavette steak and chicken; both of which were perfectly prepared. The entire experience felt more like it was on par with one of the best new restaurants in Charleston or New Orleans, to be honest. We can’t wait to return! A+++

    Quaint restaurant in the heart of China Town, Honolulu Hawaii. We sat at the bar which was great because they have a world class bartender in Fabrice. He is very skilled and friendly. The food and service were excellent. This is definitely a place to check out.

    Another awesome experience. Quinoa cakes were great, the Kampachi was rock star, a complex dish, so full of flavor. Service was excellent. A 5 star evening. Cannot wait to go again.

    We ate outside on the patio. Unfortunately, the neighborhood and the streets had a lot of interesting characters passing by our dining experience. It was St Pattty’s Day - but I got the feeling that drunks and homeless passing by diners wouldn’t be unusual. Everything else about the restaurant was absolutely fantastic. Definitely recommend - just dine inside.

    Exceptional dining experience! Every dish was over the top flavorful and memorable! The beet salad was a winner, as was the special lasagna (mushroom, vegetarian) I could eat 3 times a week, so deliscious & unique. Our guests loved their Pot Pies and every dessert was fantastic! All drinks we ordered were perfect, great non-alcohol drinks too! As if that wasnt enough.... our server Christne was delightful, knowledgeable and attentive. Fabulous evening, again!! Mahalo to the entire Fete Family!
