Maui Restaurants

Maui dining runs from plate-lunch counters with a line of contractors at 11 am to oceanfront rooms where you plan the reservation before the flight. Both ends are worth your time, and this list works the whole range — breakfast in Kihei, poke for the beach cooler, and the one splurge everyone should do once.

Two habits will serve you well: book the famous rooms far ahead, and eat your casual meals early — island kitchens close sooner than mainland ones. For the full Kihei rundown, our where-to-eat guide goes street by street.
