Fresh Island Flavors in the Heart of Kapaa

Walking into Russell's By Eat Healthy feels like stepping into a neighbor’s kitchen in the middle of East Kauai. The space is unassuming, favoring a laid-back, open-air approach that defines the Kapaa dining scene. It is the kind of place you head to when you want a meal that leaves you feeling energized rather than weighed down.

Locally Sourced Comfort

The menu centers on the concept of clean eating without sacrificing the indulgence of island comfort food. Signature offerings like their fresh catch plates highlight the bounty of local Hawaiian waters, often paired with house-made dressings and crisp, locally grown greens. Their focus on high-quality proteins and vibrant produce makes it a reliable stop for anyone looking for a wholesome lunch or dinner while exploring the Coconut Coast.

The Russell’s Experience

Expect a casual, counter-service flow where the focus remains entirely on the plate. The aroma of citrus-marinated fish and roasted garlic usually greets you before you reach the counter. While the interior is minimalist, the outdoor seating area provides a prime spot to catch the Kauai breeze. Be prepared to keep an eye out for a parking spot, as the lot can get quite snug during the peak lunch rush when locals and visitors alike crowd the area. Whether you are coming off a morning hike or finishing a drive along the coastline, this spot offers a straightforward, nutrient-dense meal in a setting that celebrates the simplicity of life on Kauai.

Best food on the island... hands down! All vegan. Amazing breakfast bowls chock full of fresh local fruit. Lunch sandwiches are exceptional... and Dinner is out of this world! Just keep coming back here over and over again if you're on Kauai. It's better than anything else you'll find on the island and healthy too. We went 5 times, and with hindsight, wish we would have just eaten every meal here. Bravo to Reba for this vegan oasis!

What an adorable place! The young lady who met us at the entrance to take our order was so kind and personable. I had a BLT sandwich, Bruchetta and a Thai Tea. Everything was tasty but the sandwich could have had more bacon, lettuces and tomato considering its price and it was for an adult.

Make no mistake about it... This place has incredible vegan food. Every dish is vegan so no need to worry when you read the clever names. Prices are on the higher price from our perspective but was mostly worth it. I say mostly because the price with tip was over our budgeted lunch allotted price limit. So chalked it up to an incredible meal just outside our comfort level of pricing and quantity.

The food, the service and the relaxing, outdoor dining area makes this my favorite restaurant on Kauai. The food is beautifully prepared and served - everything we have ordered has been perfection. The prices are great for such amazing food. Fresh, healthy and so tasty.

Highly recommend this place! So peaceful, friendly, clean, quite and delicious! We ordered fries, two burgers and salad. The best VEGAN burgers that I ever had. Actually, I am vegan 6 years and was in different countries in Europe, Asia and in North America. So believe me, it was so good!!

Love this cute little place. We sat outside for lunch and enjoyed the vegan spread. The jalapeño poppers were unreal!! The kimchi burger could have a little more kimchi punch but was still delicious. The tofu dishes were really good

Wonderful fresh vegan food here. The dining area couldn’t be more welcoming and adorable. Staff was so helpful and friendly! The food was really good. I got the chickpea wrap. It was really good the only disappointing part was the tortilla tasted like it came from a package and not made in house so kind of tough. Would still recommend for pretty dang good food and darling ambience!

We came here more than five times during our visit to Kauai. Everything we’ve had here is amazing! Customer service is excellent too. We loved the Tahitian lemonade, garlic focaccia toast, samosas, meatballs, kale salad with cornmeal crusted tofu, chickpea salad wrap, ranch burger and bacon cheese burger, the hamburger curry (that’s my favourite!). And for dessert, I loooved the truffles. I feel more inspired to cook vegan at home now! Thank you for having delicious and healthy vegan options on the island!

The BEST vegan food we found on the island. We ended up going twice, both times for breakfast, and were not disappointed. The salad combo was so good as was the tofu scramble. The gf avo toast was also delicious esp with the added cucumbers. The waitress was great and gave recommendations for additions to the meal (each addition is $2 which they don’t tell you, but well worth it in most cases). Overall it was a great experience and we can’t wait to return!

Loved this place! Beware-Trying to make the left turn during certain times of the day is challenging...Friendly folks and relaxing atmosphere... purple potato samosa with banana chutney was surprisingly delicious.... the mushroom appetizer was amazing, of course i loved the spring rolls... tofu coconut mac nut was good, but not my favorite just personal preference, i loved the veggies that came with it but to me the main tofu dish was a bit salty and i couldn't get past textures. I'll try something different next time 😌 be sure to take pics with the lovely art before you leave!
