El Takoy
EL TA’KOY IS A BRAND NEW CONCEPT FROM THE RENOWNED CHEF, LUIS A. POUS.
El Ta’koy was born out of Chef Luis’ love and admiration for the diversity of culture, found in the street food of Hawaii. Chef Luis places his award-winning twist on some of his favourite dishes and influences, found from his time in the meting pot that is, Owhyhee.
The service has the spirit of Aloha, its warm and inviting, polished yet light hearted. The drinks are heavily influenced by the Tiki & Rum world. The perfect intimate hot spot for post-work cocktails or a leisurely dinner in a vibrant atmosphere.
WHAT INFLUENCES EL TA’KOY?
Chef Luis Pous’ inspiration & influence for El Ta’koy started when he was opening a restaurant on the small island of Kauai in Hawaii. After visiting local restaurants, farms, farmers markets and food truck events around the island, Chef Luis found out that the food wasn’t only influenced by the Polynesian culture, it was influenced by Caribbean, North Latin & South American, European and East Asian cultures too.
Just one example of this cultural evolution, that arose from around 1850, would be the New England whalers, who introduced the culture of eating salted fish, which later evolved in to Hawaii’s lomilomi salmon. From 1850 through to the 1930’s, immigration brought cuisines from China, Korea, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Portugal.
El Ta’koy is an exciting, chic, Hawaiian-inspired Street Food and Tiki Bar.
