All Our Favorite Pancakes in Honolulu
As much as I love going out for brunch, I’m discouraged by how many menu items I can make myself at home. That’s why my go-to lately has been Basalt. Activated charcoal may not be as popular as it was a few years ago, but the Waikīkī restaurant inside Duke’s Lane Market & Eatery continues to serve its signature black charcoal buttermilk pancakes, topped with guava-strawberry sauce, berries, powdered sugar and whipped cream. I appreciate how they aren’t as sweet as a typical stack and provide balance with a savory second dish. Plus, you can get three hours of complimentary parking and a kama‘āina discount. And if I do feel like making it at home? The market sells the mix. —Katrina Valcourt, HONOLULU executive editor.
