Aloha Mixed Plate
Hands down, the best place on Maui to enjoy a Hawaiian-style meal in a beachside setting. Go local with the Hawaiian plate lunch brimming with kalua (traditional method of cooking in an underground pit) pig, lomilomi salmon (minced, salted salmon, diced tomato and green onion) and other taste treats. And then there are the award-winning coconut prawns - order them as a pupu (snack or appetizer) or as part of a mixed plate, but do try them.

Hula Grill & Barefoot Bar
Watch the swimsuit parade in Kaʻanapali as you dine under coconut-frond umbrellas on creative pupu and robust dinner mains, like kiawe wood-grilled steaks.

Hali'imaile General Store
Owner-chef Bev Gannon was one of the original forces behind the Hawaii Regional Cuisine movement and a steady flow of in-the-know diners beat a track to this tiny village to feast on her inspired creations. Even lunch is a treat with blackened 'ahi wraps and ginger-chili duck tostadas, but the real heavy hitters come out at dinner. The atmospheric setting, with its high ceilings and plantation-era decor, is nearly as interesting as the food.

Hana Hou Restaurant
In pidgin the name means 'do it again,' and sure enough, people come back again and again for the backyard barbecue served at picnic tables. You can go Hawaiian with poi, kalua pork and laulau (bundles of pork or beef with salted fish that are wrapped in leaves and steamed) or sit down to burgers and beer.

Ferraro's
No other place in Wailea even comes close to this breezy restaurant for atmospheric seaside dining. Lunch strays into fun selections, like kalua pig quesadillas with mango poi, while dinner gets more serious, offering a solidly Italian menu with wood-fired bruscetta, lobster risotto and wonderful pesto dishes.

Da Kitchen
Tropical decor, friendly staff and unbeatable local grinds combine to make this a favorite with islanders. The kalua pork is, as they say, 'so tender it falls off da bone' and the more expensive plate lunches are big enough to feed two. Expect a crowd at lunch but don't be deterred, as the service is quick.

Café 808
Its motto, 'The Big Kahuna of Local Grinds,' says it all. This eatery, a quarter-mile south of the Holy Ghost Church, offers a wall-size chalkboard of all things local, from banana pancakes to carb-heavy, gravy-dripping loco moco.
