Maui
A popular dining experience on Maui is a traditional Hawaiian luau. This quintessentially Hawaiian experience usually consists of a delicious island feast, complete with freshly-caught fish, poi, and other local culinary delights. A staple of Hawaiian cuisine, poi is made from the taro plant and is steamed and pounded into a sticky paste. Usually dishes inspired by recipes of the Pacific Rim also appear in the feast. Beyond the typical luau, there's no shortage of dining options on Maui. As a popular world-class premier tourist destination with a varied clientele, the cuisine on Maui is also just as varied, with restaurants and cafés featuring all types of décor. For those traveling on a budget, there are locally-owned cafés and restaurants that are reasonably priced. For those fonder of a higher-end dining experience, there are plenty of top-end restaurants located inside Maui's many five-star hotels.
Some restaurants on Maui offer “Hawaiian Regional Cuisine.” Utilizing natural ingredients grown from Maui's fertile volcanic soil, meat from local ranches, and locally-caught fish, Hawaiian Regional Cuisine expertly combines a Latin American flair with the culinary elements, spices, and tastes of many countries, including Japan, Portugal, China, Thailand, Korea, India, and the Philippines.
Lanai
Dining options on Lanai are somewhat limited, but there are restaurants that serve health foods, Italian cuisine, seafood, and burgers. There are also small family-run bakeries and coffee shops, while cafés and eateries offer three meals a day.
