West Maui is the resort capital of Hawai‘i (or, perhaps, of the world) and the superior restaurants in the resorts of Ka‘anapali, Napili and Kapalua reflect that fact. Several of the greatest and best known chefs in the world have restaurants here.

Lahaina, however, although it has no major resorts, has a number of the best fine-dining establishments in the Pacific and some of the most creative restaurants—from Hawaiian food to up-market but down-priced international food—you will find anywhere in the world.
