Homage to the birth of Jesolo Beach, whose holiday vocation begins in the 1950s, thus taking inspiration from the overseas style that was already raging in Florida and California at that time, Hoku, which in the local language of Hawaii means a bright star in the sky, reminds us of the great beaches of the Pacific, among palm trees, comfortable lounges and fruit cocktails.

Starting from the rigor of the nautical style of the lines that the famous Richard Meier conceived for the architecture of the Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Jesolo, the restaurant’s decor was entrusted to Muza Lab studio in London – which has designed important interiors such as Grosvenor House in Park Lane and The Alpina in Gstaad – giving life to an environment of great aesthetic appeal set between the blue of the hotel pools and of the sea.

Hoku is a tribute to the Tropical Déco style of the 30s and to overseas beaches in order to experience the sea in total freedom among palm trees, designer furnishings and fruit cocktails.

While the interiors of the cocktail bar are inspired by the Hawaiian tradition, with exotic plants and rattan stools, the restaurant looks to the Tropical Déco. Deriving from the Art Déco that raged in Paris at the beginning of the twentieth century, here is characterized by colors pastel, nautical-inspired details and exotic touches.

Thus all the furnishings, from the restaurant loveseats to the chairs on the terrace, were made in white and coral, including the beautiful giant umbrellas with colored fringes that were tailor-made for Hoku.

The cuisine is what you dream of when you are on vacation: light and tasty, with various low-calorie options, overseas influences, and tasty Asian fusion proposals.

While at lunch Hoku Restaurant offers a selection of Italian and international dishes, at dinner the menu is inspired by the Japanese and Peruvian Nikkei Cuisine, thanks to the collaboration with the Mochi restaurant in Vienna, one of the major trendsetters in the world in terms of fusion proposals.

Thus, to be enjoyed at sunset facing the sea, we can choose from an original selection of Nikkei sushi rolls, sashimi, tempura and grilled dishes, such as Ceviche Rolls with sea bass, avocado, aji amarillo and ginger chips or the Lomo a la parilla, veal fillet with turnip tops and spicy teriyaki sauce.

The drinks list is excellent, with a wide choice of whites and bubbles perfect for the beach and, of course, of cocktails. From the great classics to the most creative ones, they are served in glasses in the shape of Tiki, the Polynesian and Hawaiian deities that give the name to this style. Made famous by the bartender Don the Beachcomber, who had created it to transport Americans to the paradisiacal atmospheres of the Polynesian islands during the difficult period of prohibition, this type of cocktail bar is a Hollywood cult of the 30s.

In addition to the outdoor area overlooking the beach, Hoku also offers a private room that can accommodate up to 10 people seated and romantic tables for two, perfect after taking advantage of the splendid spa of theFalkensteiner Hotel & Spa Jesolo, also open to non-guests in the Day Spa formula.

Check out the upcoming events with live music to complete the experience to really feel, for the time of an aperitif or a real vacation, in a tropical paradise!
