현지 스카우트가 가는 맛집 5곳
Kīhei
Fish tacos that made the place famous — grilled mahi on cabbage slaw with mango salsa. Counter service, shaded tables, fast.
Kīhei
The snack counter at the scooter shop inside the Aloha Open Air Market — shave ice, plate lunches, a shaded table to swap stories at the end of a ride.
Kīhei
Tamura's Fine Wines (Kihei, on S Kihei Rd) — a liquor store with a fresh poke counter considered among the best poke on Maui. Buy a pound of ahi poke and take it to Kamaole Beach Park across the street. Far better value than any restaurant. Open daily until 9pm.
Wailea
Maui-grown coffee roasted on island, the best cup between Kihei and Makena. The Wailea Gateway location is the one on the way back from Big Beach.
Wailea
Monkeypod Kitchen (Wailea, 10 Wailea Gateway Pl) — the best casual dinner in Wailea that is not a hotel restaurant. Wood-fired pizza, fresh fish, and excellent cocktails in a lively, open-air space. Arrive before 6pm or reserve; it fills quickly every evening.
