Restaurants

Originally built in 1929, the Honolua Store served workers on the plantation that once occupied the Kapalua grounds. This historic building is now home to one of, if not the most beloved landmark on all Maui.

Today, you can find gifts, wine, gourmet food, groceries, cosmetics, apparel, an espresso bar and bakery, a full service deli, and more.

What draws locals and returning visitors to the Honolua Store each and everyday, is the large variety of delicious food served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When you see the line of locals, you know the food must be good.

We recommend taking a stroll down to the Honolua Store in the morning, grabbing some items for breakfast, and enjoying those on their beautiful lanai. This is also a good time to pick some Spam Musubi. Their Spam Musubi sells out by lunchtime, and is a local favorite! You have to try this at least once on your vacation.

The traditional lunches are also fantastic; part of the menu changes daily. A local Friday favorite is their Kalua Pork and Cabbage.

The Honolua Store is located just a quick walk down from your villa on Office Road.

One of the most romantic and breathtaking locations to eat dinner is at Merriman’s, located at the point, on Kapalua Bay. Merriman`s was recently named one of the "Top 10 Travelers Choice Restaurants" in the United States by Tripadvisor.

Merriman’s award winning restaurant has a farm-to-table concept, with over 90% of what you see on your plate being locally sourced.

Sunday brunch is served from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm and live music starts at 10 am. Merriman’s opens for dinner at 5 pm. You can enjoy a hand crafted cocktail and “pupus” by the fire-pit on the point. There is no finer view on Maui! Look out over Kapalua Bay and enjoy what rarely fails to be a stunning sunset .

Do not forget to finish the night with their signature dessert, the Waialua Chocolate Purse!

One of the best locations for breakfast and brunch is The Plantation House Restaurant, located in the Kapalua® Resort at the Plantation Course.

With views of the island of Molokai and Lanai, your meal`s backdrop could not be any more perfect. During whale season, it is exciting to watch the whales at play as you sip on a Bloody Mary and indulge with a Mahi Mahi Eggs Benedict!

This fine dinning restaurant is also the perfect location for dinner. The sunset views and exquisite menu combine to create a dining experience that is truly world-class.

Taverna is the newest eatery in Kapalua®, and has proven itself to be a force in the culinary world. With a focus on Italian cuisine and hand crafted urban drinks, Taverna is dishing out some of the most talked about meals on Maui.

Tiki torches line the outside patio, and the open air restaurant creates an ambiance that is both warm and welcoming. With a stylish bar with seating for up to thirty-two, this is the perfect place to grab some drinks and pupus.

Taverna has some of the best mixologists on the island; they create works of art on a daily basis! They love creating custom drinks. Just make the request and they will deliver!

On the menu, we highly recommend the Pizza Bianca and the house made pastas.

Taverna is open for dinner, from 5:30 until it closes.

Kapalua® is fortunate to have in its neighborhood one of the most award winning sushi restaurants in the United States. Sansei Seafood Restaurant and Sushi Bar has won numerous awards. Bon Appetit also named Sansei as one of its “Favorite Asian Restaurants” and one of “America’s Best Sushi Bars.”

Sansei is in walking distance from the villas.  It is clearly one of the most exciting dining experiences on Maui.

Some of our favorite dished include the Panko-Crusted Fresh Ahi Sashimi, Shrimp Dynamite and Sansei’s Mango Crab Salad Hand Roll.

Dinner is served from 5:15 pm to 10:00 pm. Early bird dinner specials continue until the last seating at 6 pm. We encourage you to arrive early if you want to make this seating. The line can get long.

Late night dining is on Thursdays and Fridays, from 10 pm to 1 am. You must be twenty-one or over to get in.

Cane & Canoe is located at The Montage Hotel in Kapalua®. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and showcases “modern cuisine that celebrates Hawaii’s diverse cultural influences.” All ingredients are fresh, and locally grown.

Guests may dine in the open-air restaurant, or, just outside on the picturesque lanai. Enjoy views of the beautiful Montage Hotel, the gorgeous Pacific, and islands of Molokai’ and Lanai.

Be sure not to miss their Sunday Brunch & Bloody Mary Bar. Enjoy savory sweet cuisine and a “build your own Bloody Mary bar.” Or, try the Cane & Canoe for dinner, starting the evening off with a handcrafted cocktail accompanied with tuna sashimi. We recommend their Pacific Rim Cioppino for the main course. Then try their Roasted Pineapple Napoleon for dessert.

The Banyan Tree, located at The Ritz Carlton, features fabulous views, “garden-to glass” cocktails and a cuisine that showcases exciting flavors and the freshest local ingredients.

This “farm-to-table” concept restaurant offers guests fabulous sunset views and an open-air atmosphere that is truly embracing.  The Kapalua coastline, as well as Honolua Bay are both showcased from this romantic location.

Try their “crispy Haiku avocados and silk tofu” appetizer, and then their “seafood fettuccine” with Kauai prawns, seared scallops and Maui heirloom tomatoes as a main course. If you have room for dessert, we recommend their heavenly “WOW-WEE Maui chocolate macadamia bar,” featuring praline crunch, Mai tai sorbet and chocolate coral sponge!

Open for dinner only.

The Burger Shack is located near D.T. Flemings Beach in Kapalua®.  Here you will find one of the most ideal locations to grab a great burger, and perhaps, some tasty tropical cocktails. So if you may be at D.T. Fleming beach one day, we recommend that you head up to the Burger Shack, for a snack or a meal under the welcoming shade of the coconut palms. The Burger Shack features wonderful food, yet in a casual, outdoor atmosphere accompanied by gorgeous views! We love their Ali’I Burger and Serrano Hibiscus Rita.  Or, you simply cannot go wrong with their classic Mai Tai.

Open daily from 11:30 am to 4 pm.

Located at poolside at the Montage Hotel, the Hana Hou Bar is a perfect spot to enjoy a drink, and, some great food while taking in the stunning ocean and island views. The outdoor bar is just a quick walk up the pathway from Kapalua Bay; it is not only a full bar, but offers hamburgers, salads, sandwiches, pizza, and other edible delights, as well as a keiki menu.  Given that the Hana Hou Bar is part of the Montage Hotel, you can be sure that their menu standards are top notch.

Open daily from 11 am to 5 pm.

The Spa Boutique is located just at the lobby of the Montage Spa, and, it is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of specialty coffee, after perhaps, walking the Kapalua® Coastal Trail.  The boutique features a coffee-and-juice bar, and serves some of the most delicious and healthy snack options on the island. The Spa Boutique also features a wide variety of spa care items, as well as locally made products.  Here you will find handcrafted jewelry, lotions, apparel, luxury gift items and more.

Open daily from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm.

Kai Cafe is a hidden gem in the Kapalua® Resort. This "grab-and-go cafe" is located off the lobby of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, and serves up some of the most delicious and healthy treats. You will find gourmet coffee, house-made wraps, pastries, salads and more. This is just the place to visit for that delicious and healthy treat, following your morning walk around the resort!

Open daily from 6:30 am to 12:00 pm.

The Pour House is one of our favorite places to go in Kapalua for Happy Hour, or to just enjoy some fabulous wine and Italian food.

Enjoy eating outside on their cozy lanai, or dine inside their lounge.

The Hideaway at Kapalua Bay offers island inspired cuisine and cocktails. The resort’s bar is an intimate gathering space that is designed for easy dining. Serving the finest ingredients, experience this casual retreat, where seasonal favorites are served, and personalized service awaits. Relax inside in an open-air setting with live music, or outside on the patio.
