Papa'aina

Papa'aina located at the historic Pioneer Inn in Old Town Lahaina, Maui offers a seasonal menu from Top Chef Lee Anne Wong, highlighting ingredients from local farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and other Hawaiian based food producers to create a unique farm-to table experience. We went there for Brunch for our last full day on the island.    

Morimoto Maui

Morimoto Maui is inspired to give a modern Japanese beach house vibe. Located in the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort in Kihei, the restaurant itself is a bit tricky to find on the lower level near the swimming pools. 

Hula Grill

Hula Grill located in Ka'anapali, Maui offers true flavors of Maui delivered daily by Local Fisherman and Farmers to their open-air kitchen and Barefoot Bar on the water’s edge. 

Lineage

Lineage is a dining experience in Wailea, Maui where you can "eat, drink, and talk story". Built around family get togethers, celebrating the diversity of natural ingredients and a cooking style that embodies Maui cuisine, the impressive culinary duo of Chefs Emmanuel Eng and Nelson Simpliciano bring creativity and family traditions to the restaurant with innovative Asian-American cuisine. 

Star Noodle

Star Noodle offers fresh noodles, sake cocktails, and Asian-inspired share plates with amazing ocean views at its new Front Street location in Lahaina, Maui. 

Beach Club

Beach Club Restaurant at the Aston Ka'anapali Shores in Maui overlooks the pool and beach and is casual in the day and lighted with candlelight and torches at night.  They feature delicious American and Pacific Rim Cuisine at affordable prices with generous portions and service with extra "aloha".

Feast at Lele Luau

The Feast at Lele Luau is known as the "Most Romantic Maui Luau" and for "Best Food at a Maui Luau". It is a little more expensive than other Maui luaus at $115 per person and it is worth a good deal more than the extra cost. The Feast at Lele is the only Maui luau where you will be treated to private seating and a truly amazing Polynesian feast. This is a perfect romantic evening in Maui!

Mala Ocean Tavern

Mark and Judy Ellman, who owned the memorable Avalon Restaurant some years ago, gutted a small restaurant space on the water near Mala Wharf and created a sophisticated, light-filled restaurant/bar. A menu statement explains the concept: small plates, organic whenever possible, whole grains, no preservatives, no hydrogenated oils and everything in proportion. A popular spot for weddings and special events, Mala Ocean Tavern highlights fresh seafood using Mediterranean flavors and style with their fun small plates presentation, but the menu has somewhat of an identity crisis with its mixed Italian and Asian cuisine.

Mama's Fish House

Nestled in a beautiful coconut grove on a secluded white sand beach, this converted beach house restaurant is a memory of old Polynesia. Located on Maui's North Shore, Mama's Fish House is decorated with Polynesian artifacts, unique local wood working, and tropical floral arrangements.  An award-winning menu teamed with unpretentious service and Aloha spirit make Mama's Fish House an unforgettable restaurant experience.

Island Chef

If you take the drive on the famous "Road to Hana" in Maui, don't overlook this modest food stand on the side of the road serving "ono grindz" from another great food truck known as Island Chef.
