In the heart of Honolulu, MARA at the Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa offers an indulgent dining experience that transports guests to the vibrant Mediterranean region. Chef Michael Ocampo, TableOne Hospitality’s Director of Culinary, heads the kitchen and presents a menu that is a true feast for the senses.
The restaurant’s focus on fresh seafood is apparent in its seasonally curated seafood market list, allowing guests to choose their preferred selection and preparation method. Dive into a delectable array of Crudo, Shellfish, Mezze, and Market Salad options, all expertly crafted to highlight the flavors of the Mediterranean.
For those looking to indulge in a truly decadent meal, MARA offers ‘SOFRA’ dishes that can be enjoyed individually or as part of a family-style meal. From Acqua Pazza to aromatic Moroccan and Greek-inspired dishes, chef Ocampo’s creativity shines through in every bite.
To complement the exquisite cuisine, MARA boasts an impressive beverage program featuring bespoke cocktails with housemade elements and a carefully curated wine list selected by renowned Hawai‘i sommelier Kale Furuya. Each sip enhances the flavors of the Mediterranean fare, creating a harmonious dining experience for guests.
As CEO Patric Yumul aptly puts it, Mediterranean cuisine is a celebration of life, bringing together communities and cultures through the shared experience of a meal. MARA pays homage to this philosophy by showcasing the culinary traditions of Greece, Italy, and beyond while incorporating the bounty of Hawai’i’s rich agricultural landscape, from the mountains to the sea.
