fiogf49gjkf0d Lahaina's harborside malls contain a tremendous selection of restaurants, national and local chain outlets and takeout places, not all of them good by any means, but covering a wider spectrum than the hotels.
Cheese Burger in Paradise
811 Front St tel 808/661-4855. Busy, crowded seafront restaurant, perched on stilts above the water. Very much what the name suggests, though as well as meaty $7-8 cheeseburgers they have fish sandwiches and spinach nutburgers at similar prices.
David Paul's Lahaina Grill
A
Lahaina Inn
, 127 Lahainaluna Rd tel 808/667-5117. Upmarket dinner-only restaurant with Maui's finest Pacific Rim cooking; it's slightly cramped and unatmospheric, but the food is great.
The Feast at Lele
505 Front St tel 808/667-5353. An inspired cross between a
luau
and a gourmet restaurant. Each of the five Polynesian courses consists of at least two dishes - a colossal amount of food, but it's excellent and unusual, and the beachfront setting is superb. The $89 charge, though steep, includes unlimited cocktails and other beverages. Reservations are essential. April-Sept Tues-Sat 6pm, Oct-March Tues-Sat 5.30pm.
Pacific 'O
505 Front St tel 808/667-4341. Pacific Rim cuisine served in an attractive oceanfront mall setting; try the amazing $28 Shrimp Nui.
Sunrise CafAŠ
693A Front St at Market St tel 808/661-8558. Small, laid-back and very central cafAŠ, with outdoor seating beside its own tiny patch of beach. Espressos, smoothies, salads, sandwiches and daily specials, with prices starting at around $6.
