Restaurants on Maui, updated March 2016<\/span><\/p>\n

KIHEI<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cuatro Restaurant \u2013 1881 South Kihei Road (Kihei Town Centre). A very small restaurant but excellent Latin- Asian-European food. We ate there several times this year and it was always really good. 808-879-1110. <\/span>BYOB<\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Sensei \u2013 Japanese and Sushi Bar \u2013 Kihei Town Centre \u2013 1881 South Kihei Road. This is our favourite spot for sushi. You usually need a reservation. 808-879-0004. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Sarento\u2019s on the Beach \u2013 2980 South Kihei Road. Open for breakfast and dinner. We had an excellent dinner here again this year. We got a table on the lanai, the view was wonderful and we thought the food and wine was very good. It\u2019s expensive but very good. 808-875-7555. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Sugar Beach Bake Shop \u2013 61 South Kihei Road. Still a great bake shop next to ABC Store. They serve great Key Lime Pie and banana bread with nut crust. We tried the bran muffins this year and loved them. We also ate their mango bread but had to order that ahead. The coffee is great too. It\u2019s a bit expensive but we thought it was worth it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. The Kihei Cafe – 1945 South Kihei Road. Good breakfast and lunch spot. This is <\/span>very<\/span> casual and you might overlook it as it looks pretty grungy. You can sit outside and eat and the food is good, especially breakfast. It is on the side of a busy road so it is noisy. They are open from 5 am to 3 pm.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. Tiki Lounge \u2013 Kalama Village, 1913 South Kihei Road. The best Lava Flows in Maui. Very good pizza.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
              1. Coconut Fish Caf\u00e9 \u2013 1279 South Kihei Road. A caf\u00e9 with great fish burgers and fish tacos. Very casual. Best for take-out. 808-875-9979.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                  \n
                1. Five Palms Restaurant \u2013 2960 Kihei Road, Kihei in the Mana Kai Resort. It\u2019s on the main floor of the condo development and they have okay food and great ocean views. We always sit on the patio. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food has really gone downhill but the view is really great. \u00a0Maybe a better bet for a drink in the bar at sunset. 808-879-2607. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                    \n
                  1. Nalu\u2019s \u2013 1280 South Kihei Road, at Azeka\u2019s Mall. A new restaurant that is open breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very casual but good. I tried the Ahi Club sandwich which was delicious. 808-891-8650. No reservations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                      \n
                    1. Vietnamese Cuisine \u2013 Azeka Place 1 – #107, 1280 South Kihei Road, Kihei. Very good Vietnamese food at good prices. Lunch and dinner. 808-875-2088.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                        \n
                      1. Horhito\u2019s Mobile Taqueria (food truck) \u2013 1942 South Kihei Road. Very good fish tacos and wraps. Good prices.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                          \n
                        1. Mill House \u2013 at the Tropical Plantation, 1670 Honoapiilani Hwy. New this year. We went once for dinner and it was good; lovely setting. Worth a try. 808-270-0333. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                            \n
                          1. Caf\u00e9 O\u2019Lei \u2013 2439 South Kihei Road. The food is good here but it is very noisy. They are open for lunch and dinner. 808-891-1368. They have another restaurant at the Dunes Golf Course.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                            1. Oceanside \u2013 300 Maalaea Road. In the Maalaea Shopping Centre by the Aquarium. New this year. We went twice for dinner, sat on the lanai overlooking the harbor and had a very good meal. Reasonable prices. 808-868-3481. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                              WAILEA<\/span><\/p>\n

                                \n
                              1. Gannon\u2019s – 100 Wailea Golf Club Drive. Very good food, expensive, and a fabulous view. Ask for a table on the lanai. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but the food at dinner is by far the best. On Friday night they play very loud music in the bar and it is hard to visit, even on the lanai. Reservations 808-875-8080. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                  \n
                                1. Spago – Four Seasons Resort, 3900 Wailea Alanui. Excellent food, but very expensive. We don’t usually go to the hotels but we had a very good meal. Again ask for the lanai and a view of the ocean. Reservations 808- 879-2999. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                    \n
                                  1. Mala at Wailea \u2013 Wailea Beach Marriott Resort. Open for breakfast and dinner but we\u2019ve only tried dinner. Good food, quite expensive. We sat on the lanai and had a wonderful view of the sunset. Unfortunately if your party is larger than 4 people, you get stuck in the corner of the lanai by the wall. 808-875-9394. On Open Table. This restaurant will be closing May 2016. It may move to another location.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                      \n
                                    1. Migrant \u2013 Wailea Beach Marriott Hotel. Small plates like tapas. We sat on the lanai rather than inside which is really just a bar. We had good food. 808-875-9394. On Open Table. They will be moving in May 2016. The new location not set yet.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                        \n
                                      1. Monkey Pod \u2013It\u2019s very noisy inside, much like Earls. This year we ate there once and had good food, but eat on the lanai, especially during happy hour, as it is really noisy. \u00a010 Wailea Gateway Place. 808-891-2322. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                          \n
                                        1. Tommy Bahamas \u2013 in the Wailea Shopping Centre. Very good food, fairly expensive. A nice lanai but no view. At night the restaurant is very noisy so eat on the lanai. 808-875-9983. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                            \n
                                          1. Ferraro\u2019s Bar and Restaurant \u2013 We tried this restaurant for the first time in 2011 and had a wonderful meal on the lanai with a great view of the ocean. We went back in 2012 and had another great meal. We ate there again this year and the food was mediocre. The view is wonderful however so maybe go for lunch as dinner wasn\u2019t worth the expense. Very expensive. Four Seasons Hotel Wailea. 808-874-8000. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                              \n
                                            1. Pita Paradise \u2013 10 Wailea Gateway Place \u2013A very casual spot and we always sit on the lanai. We have only gone for dinner and always enjoy it as the food is very good. 808-879-7177.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                                \n
                                              1. Matteo\u2019s Osterio \u2013 161 Wailea Ike Place. This Italian restaurant is by the tennis courts in Wailea a bit hidden from the main road. Not to be confused with Matteo\u2019s Pizza. We sat on the lanai and had excellent food and wine again this year. It\u2019s pretty noisy inside. 808-891-8466. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                                  \n
                                                1. Capiche \u2013 in the Wailea Hotel. 555 Kaukahi Street. We ate here several years ago and had a bad experience but we thought we would try it again. We had a wonderful table on the lanai with a great view of Wailea and the ocean. The food was excellent as was the service. It is very, very expensive though. We didn\u2019t think it was worth the price. 808-879-2224. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                                    \n
                                                  1. The Market by Capiche\u2013 This market just opened in the Wailea Gateway Place under Monkey Pod. It\u2019s a great deli with local cheese and they make good sandwiches and paninis. Worth a try. 808-879-2433.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                                      \n
                                                    1. Nick\u2019s Fishmarket \u2013 Fairmont Kea Lani Hotel, 4100 Wailea Alanui Drive. I took this restaurant off my list a few years ago, but we tried it again this year and it was very good. Get a table on the lanai. Very Expensive. 808-879-7224. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

We discovered this coffee roaster this year and now think it\u2019s the best coffee on Maui. There is no caf\u00e9, but you can buy beans or ground coffee. The price is good too.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                                \n

                                                                  \n

                                                                    \n
                                                                  1. Tamura\u2019s Fine Wine and Liquors \u2013 199 Dairy Road, Kahului. We discovered this wine store across from Sports Authority on Dairy Road. Excellent selection of wine, the best I\u2019ve seen on Maui.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

It was really fun and the lunch was delicious. You need to make a reservation. The tour and lunch runs from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm. It is $58 per person. <\/span>BYOB<\/span>. \u00a0808-667-4341.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

If you are heading out for the day and end up at Paia (the beginning of the Hana Highway), this is a great lunch spot. You don’t need a reservation and the food is very good. This restaurant has changed hands a lot but is even better now. We had dinner there this year as well as lunch and the food was excellent. Paia is a very fun town to wander around – very artsy. 808-868-3688. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

You need a reservation for sure. The food is very good but very expensive and I think a bit over rated. It would be a good place to go for lunch because you can really see the ocean then. 808-579-8488. We don\u2019t think it is worth the price. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

This is over on the other side of the island in Ka’anapali. It is Jim\u2019s favourite beach spot for lunch because it’s right on the beach and the food is okay, but not great. Everything tastes good on the beach however and the view is wonderful. 808-667-6636. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

It\u2019s on the ocean, the menu is very good, casual, and reasonably priced. It\u2019s also open for dinner which we haven\u2019t tried yet. 808-667-9394. On Open Table.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Merriman\u2019s \u00a0– We had read that Merriman\u2019s was not that great and too expensive so we just stopped for appetizers and drinks to watch the sunset.
