Fish Fillet in Side — Fresh Fish at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar

Fish Fillet at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side is a straightforward, satisfying seafood plate: a fillet of fish served with fresh vegetables and potato. It's made with the same fresh-daily ingredients we've built our kitchen on in Side old town since 2000, so it's clean, honest cooking without the fuss — light, simple and easy to enjoy.

What the dish is at Hawaii

There's no mystery to this one, and that's the point. Our Fish Fillet is exactly what it says: a fillet of fish, served with fresh vegetables and potato. It sits in our Sea Foods section for anyone who wants seafood that leans light and simple rather than rich and heavy.

Everything starts with the same standard the whole kitchen runs on — ingredients bought fresh daily and cooked to order. Fresh raw ingredients are what make a plate this uncomplicated worth ordering, because there's nowhere to hide behind heavy sauces. If you want to understand the wider approach to seafood here, our grilled fish guide for Side walks through it, and our best seafood in Side rundown sets the fillet next to the rest of the range.

How Hawaii serves it

The plate is built around three things and nothing it doesn't need: the fish fillet itself, fresh vegetables, and potato. It's the kind of dish that rewards good raw ingredients rather than dressing them up, so we keep it clean and let the fish lead. Fresh vegetables on the side keep it bright; the potato makes it a full meal rather than a starter.

If you're deciding between this and something bolder, it helps to know what else comes out of our kitchen. Hawaii Restaurant & Bar is built around a real wood fire and charcoal grill, and you can read about the wood fire and charcoal grill in Side to see how the fire-cooked side of the menu works alongside simpler plates like this one.

Who it's for and when to order it

Fish Fillet is the plate to reach for when you want seafood without a production. It's ideal for a lighter lunch after a morning at the beach, for anyone at the table watching how heavy they eat, or for the guest who loves fish but doesn't want to wrestle with bones and shells. Families work well here too — it's mild, familiar, and pairs naturally with a calmer evening, which is exactly what our family restaurant in Side is set up for.

It also suits the tourist who wants to eat well without over-thinking the menu. If you're new to the area and figuring out where and what to eat, our guide to where to eat in Side gives you the lay of the land, Hawaii included.

What to drink or pair with it

A light fish plate wants a light drink beside it. A cold beer is the easy, crowd-pleasing call and lets the fish stay the star, and a glass of white wine works just as naturally — our Turkish wine guide covers the wine list if you want to browse before you sit down.

Fancy something with a bit of holiday in the glass? Our signature Blue Hawaii turns a simple dinner into a proper evening out — see our Blue Hawaii cocktail guide. And for kids, we pour alcohol-free cocktails so everyone at the table gets their own drink. Time it right and you'll catch our daily Happy Hour, 19:00–20:00.

How it fits the wider menu

Fish Fillet is one lane of a much bigger menu. If seafood is your thing, you'll want to look at our grilled sea bass and grilled prawns and shrimp, or the mixed sea plate for two when you want a bit of everything. Beyond the sea, the same kitchen delivers steaks, kebabs and our thin-crust 33cm Italian-style pizzas — start with the best restaurant in Side overview if you're planning the whole table's order.
