EATING!

Hello!
As you know Matt and I love to eat. It is definitely a super fun part of vacation. Here is a guide to our favorite places to eat in Maui. I’ve included websites when possible so you can check out the menus!

Paia Fish Market

2 Baldwin Avenue # A, Paia, HI

The Paia Fish Market is delicious! Here is a place where someone goes out on a boat during the day, catches all sorts of fish, and then they cook it for dinner. They have several kinds of fish prepared in taco, burger, or filet form. They also have the most amazing fresh ahi shashimi. So good! As far as fresh fish goes on Maui, this is one of the most affordable places.

Lappert’s ice cream

Kihei Aloha Ice Cream
2463 South Kihei Road # C13
Kihei, HI 96753-8691

Holy Crap Lappert’s ice cream is the best! We ate it nearly every day in Maui. It has a higher fat content than most ice creams. So good! The ice cream is sold at several locations including Lahaina and at the Grand Wailea. We mostly went to the Kihei Aloha Ice Cream shop in Kihei.

Pita Paradise
1913 S Kihei Rd # J
Kihei, HI 96753-7837

Pita Paradise sells a variety of pitas and kabobs. They often have pitas made with the catch of the day. They also have delicious hummus. Again this is a place that is an affordable choice for lunch or dinner.

Kihei Caffé

1945 South Kihei Road, Kihei, HI 96753

This was our favorite breakfast place in Maui. We split pork fried rice and macadamia nut and banana pancakes. A great place to fuel up before a day at the beach!

Da Kitchen

425 Koloa St. #104
Kahului, HI 96732

This is by far the best local food on the island! There is a Da Kitchen Express in Kihei, which is also delicious, but I think the one in Kahului is better. They offer a variety of plate lunches, which consists of some kind of meat, white rice, and potato-mac salad and other tasty treats. Matt loves the Kalua pork. This food is better than any food you will eat at a Luau.


Costco!
540 Haleakala Highway, KAHULUI, MAUI, HI
Eating in Maui can add up. We stayed at condos on both trips. So we bought some groceries to save money. Milk is cheaper at Costco in Maui than at the grocery store. We also bought cereal, pizza, “Uncrustable” peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Passion-Orange-Guava (POG) juice, and Maui Onion Chips here. This is also a good place to buy macadamia nuts for souvenirs and also sunscreen if you forgot yours or ran out!

Happy Eating!
