66 Best Restaurants in Maui, Hawaii

The breakfasts and lunches served here are crafted by chefs who use various cooking styles and techniques to showcase Maui's seasonal bounty. Menus change every 62 days to ensure that dishes use the freshest farm ingredients. It's not only a restaurant but a market, too, featuring chef-crafted spices, rubs, and sauces made from local herbs and vegetables.

Acclaimed chef Roger Stettler leans on his Italian heritage to create this rustic, open-air restaurant's award-winning menu. Lunch features hearty soups, salads, and sandwiches, and the house-made pastas are the highlight of the more upscale dinner service. Belly up to the lively bar or request an outdoor table to enjoy sweeping ocean and mountain views.

The name of the restaurant comes from the three young chefs who each have a distinctive culinary style (Hawaiian, Southwestern, and Pacific Rim), but somehow it all works. The space is as big as the menu—there are salads, burgers, steaks, and fresh fish, as well as a raw bar with sushi and hand rolls—with three separate dining areas, plus an outdoor patio. The daily happy hour from 3 to 6 pm features discounts on popular menu items, sushi, and cocktails.

Local-style Japanese food is the hallmark of this eatery, where, at lunch, you might rub elbows with both bankers and construction workers, and, at dinner, three generations might be celebrating tutu's (grandma's) birthday at the next table. Enjoy the freshest sashimi, feather-light crispy shrimp and vegetable tempura, or local-style bentos and plate lunches.

The spot's the thing—the view is amazing—at this casual eatery just steps from the beach on the grounds of the Honua Kai Resort & Spa. The food is reliable—fresh fish is a good bet—the style all surfer-dudes and little grass shacks, and the signature cocktails big and pineapple-garnished.
