Maui, Hawaii: Where to Eat & What to Get
Vacation dining can be a crap-shoot. Fortunately, on our family trip to Hawaii, we had the benefit of insight from two Hawaii regulars, my sister who was on her 4th trip and my brother-in-law Doug, who was on his 10th trip. I didn’t have one “bad” meal, and had a lot of excellent meals. The following are the favorite places we ate with recommendations on what to get at each.
No matter where you are dining, I’d strongly recommend making reservations. They are required for the Feast at Lele and just a good idea for others, like Star Noodle, if you don’t want to wait an hour to be seated.

Other Top Maui Restaurants
We didn’t get to every restaraunt we wanted to. The following are the top three we’d go to on the next trip:
Kihei Caffe
Mama’s Fish House
Merriman’s Hawaii
All consistently received good reviews from other people we talked to and the internet.
A lot of eating is outdoors so don’t forget your sunglasses and sunscreen!
