Last weekend we headed off to Diamon Head Market and Grill for breakfast since it’s pretty much in our backyard, and we had a few fantastic lunch sessions. And since you have to eat outside, it was a good opportunity to bring our dog too.

I ended up getting the roast pork hash with an over-easy egg on brown rice. My girlfriend got the fried rice (also brown rice) with scrambled eggs and portuguese sausage (the meat for me of course). Both plates included, I guess what you could call cornbread, but it was sweet and had some subtle coconut topping.

Both plates were really delicious. It didn’t cost us too much…about $20 total. The roast pork hash was very delicious, with nice chucks of potato and a great crispy crust. The over-easy egg was also really good, and the brown rice was surprisingly a perfect compliment to the dish. Her fried rice was definitely one of the better ones I’ve eaten, and the portion was LARGE. And being that it was brown rice, I was quite surprised how great it worked out with fried rice.

So what do I not like about this place? The Market that is connected to the grill is WAAAY to expensive. I got two drinks, Arizona Iced Tea and a French sparkling lemonade. That set me back almost $5. I can see how the food there might be expensive because it looks all fresh, but the drinks? I know Arizona Iced Tea is 89 cents almost everywhere. I suggest buying your own drinks and bringing it over to save some money. But besides that, this is a great place to eat breakfast.

They are located at 3158 Monsarrat, which is pretty close to the Zoo. Go check it out!
