Gazebo

West Maui


A wait is inevitable, and you'll need to queue by 6:45am (!) to nab a table here at the 7:30am opening. But the wait is worth it for this beloved open-air restaurant – a gazebo on the beach – with a gorgeous waterfront setting. The tiny cafe is known for its breakfasts, and those with a sweet tooth love the white-chocolate–macnut pancakes.

Meal-size salads, hearty sandwiches and the kalua pig plate steal the scene at lunch. Those in the know order ahead to-go and pick up their meal at the window, but the line can be entertaining with its international array of visitors. The restaurant is behind Outrigger Napili Shores.
