Maui is one of those places where two realities exist at once. For locals, there’s a normal world where life isn’t entirely dominated by tourists and touristy shopping traps. Where you can go to restaurants not built around perfect views and extravagant wine menus. And for vacationers, Maui is this extremely high-end experience with swim-up bars and dinners from stateside places like Spago and Morimoto. In a way, it’s a lot like Vegas—there’s the Strip, then all the places that exist outside of it. For some, it’s probably an annoying split, but for the hungry, it’s an opportunity. What’s actually worth your hard-earned dollars? Where’s the real food at? Aggregating all the food journalism focused on the area, this list sets out to definitively show where the best places to eat and drink are in Maui.
