The food of Hawaii is as diverse as its culture and people. It has been shaped by years of tradition and it draws inspiration from its tropical location. Fresh seafood, organic vegetables, delicious fruits, a wide variety of meat and, of course, pineapples are all expertly combined to create dishes as unforgettable as the Hawaiian Islands themselves.
Here are some of the best restaurants in Maui:
Lahaina Grill: For nearly 20 years, Lahaina Grill has been voted the best restaurant in Maui. Located in the Lahaina Inn just off Front Street in Lahaina Town, Lahaina Grill’s menu features an interesting and unique blend of New American and Hawaiian cuisines combined with techniques and flavors from around the world. Executive Chef Jurg Munch’s signature dishes include the Warm Pecan Crusted Goat Cheese & Baby Arugula Salad and The Cake Walk, a sampler of Kona Lobster Crab Cake, Seared Ahi Cake & Sweet Louisiana Rock Shrimp Cake. Enjoy the beautiful décor and amazing food at this unforgettable place.127 Lahaina Road, Maui, HI 96761
Hula Grilli: The Hula Grill has two locations in the Hawaiian Islands. The Kaanapali location on Maui has an open air patio and an oceanfront view, reminiscent of a plantation era beach house. The artfully crafted dishes are prepared using traditional island cooking techniques. Hula Grill traditional plates include a lemon ginger roasted chicken or Hawaiian salt and pepper Pulehu Steak. Finish your meal with the Tropical Sorbet, which is served with homemade “jungle” cookies. 2435 Kaanapali Parkway, Bldg. P, Lahaina, HI 96761
The Fish Market: Not only is the Fish Market one of the best restaurants on Maui but it is also an actual fish market. Guaranteeing the freshest ingredients, the fish here are brought in everyday by local fisherman. Here you can try fish or shrimp burritos and tacos or grilled Ono and Ahi burgers. You can also try many uniquely flavored sushi rolls. Come here for some of the best (and freshest) seafood on Maui. 3600 Lower Honoapiilani Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761
