Where to Eat
Restaurants & Bakeries
When guests ask us where to eat, this is the list we share. This isn’t meant to be every restaurant on the island. These are the places we’ve enjoyed ourselves, along with a few well-known spots that consistently get great reviews. Most are on the west side, with a handful of favorites in Kihei, Kahului, and Upcountry that are worth the drive. We’ve organized everything by area to make it easy to plan your days.
