Fresh from the ocean. Right off the tree. Authentic and flavorful. You are going to love to eat in Maui. From the fresh fruits and nuts to the wild-caught Mahi Mahi, to the warm banana bread and colorful a\u00e7a\u00ed bowls, there are plenty of \u201cmust try’s\u201d on the island<\/strong>. And the Maui restaurant scene is not just your average restaurant. There are small cafes and huts, as well as food trucks and coffee shops. Here is where to go:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maui Restaurant Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Monkeypod<\/strong> Kitchen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Monkeypod <\/a>was my favorite place to eat on Maui. It’s in Kaanapali just off the beach walking path with three different restaurants in close proximity. Great service, live music, and outdoor seating with a unique and creative menu. <\/strong>The soft, yet crunchy, Mushroom Potstickers burst with flavor. Best ever. Their Oven-Roasted Brussels Sprouts are crave-worthy and the wood-fired Margherita flatbread pizza was fresh with quality ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun fact: Monkeypod trees thrive in the Hawaiian Islands. And the grass is literally always greener under the tree from its leaves releasing nitrogen which naturally fertilizes the soil beneath it. Who knew!?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

COST: <\/strong>$40 for potstickers and Brussel sprouts split between two + 2 beers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
