Indulge your senses while dining in Maui as you enjoy fresh Pacific Rim Cuisine and eclectic international dishes. Let the warm breezes off the Pacific Ocean carry the scent of ginger flowers past you as you enjoy a romantic seaside restaurant or savor creative dishes in one of Maui's elegant resort restaurants. Sunset cruises offer unforgettable experiences that combine Maui's delicious fare with its natural beauty while luaus provide a fun and exciting way to sample the local cuisine and culture.

Pacific Rim Cuisine is the creation of some of Hawaii's most innovative chefs. Often called Hawaii Regional Cuisine, this unique cuisine is a combination of Hawaii's fresh tropical fruits, local produce and seafood with Asian flavors such as ginger, wasabi and soy. The Magic Isle also offers a diverse selection of international cuisine from French and Italian to Mexican and Japanese. Some of Maui's greatest international dishes can be found in the island's beautiful resorts. The Outrigger Royal Kahana is located directly on the beach in between Kaanapali Beach and Kapalua Bay and offers luxury, comfort and amazing dining options. China Boat is an exotic restaurant inside the Outrigger Royal Kahana that offers flavorful Chinese dishes and local favorites. Kahana Grill and Mexican Food serves up a tasty menu of Mexican cuisine, salads and grilled sandwiches.

The Outrigger Roayl Kahana makes its home in historic Lahaina, a popular dining and shopping area. David Paul's Lahaina Grill is located in Lahaina and offers a casual yet elegant dining experience with a distinctive New American Cuisine. More fantastic eateries can be found along Front Street, Lahaina's culinary hot spot that offers a wide variety of cuisines and settings. Aloha's Mixed Plate is a favorite dining spot on Front Street that appeals to both locals and visitors. Sit on the deck and admire the ocean view as you enjoy traditional Hawaiian meals including the much loved plate lunches. Plate lunches are Hawaii's spin on fast food. Plentiful and inexpensive, plate lunches are a great way to recharge after a fun day at the beach, and an excellent option before enjoying Maui's magical nightlife. Plate lunches usually include rice topped with your choice of pork and beef, breaded or teriyaki chicken, salmon and a variety of other delicious options. Macaroni or potato salad also comes with the plate lunches adding to the value of the meal.

Another way to experience Maui's traditional island fare is with a romantic dinner cruise. Sailing along Maui's coast while sipping champagne and enjoying a delicious Hawaiian dinner or buffet is a great way to relax after a long day of sunbathing, windsurfing and shopping. Included in the memorable trip along the island is live music, dancing, spectacular panoramic views and a breathtaking sunset.

A Hawaiian luau provides a great way to experience Maui's lively island music and dancing. Luau's provide non-stop fun and excitement as well as a huge selection of local cuisine. Some tasty authentic dishes that can be found at a luau include chicken lu'au, a Hawaiian favorite that adds taro leaves and coconut milk to chicken, Huli-Huli chicken, Hawaii's version of barbecued chicken and Haupia, a traditional Hawaiian coconut flavored dessert. Maui luaus are usually celebrated on the beach and feature a variety of Hawaiian songs and dances. Luaus are some of Maui's most popular activities and can be found all over the island including at Lahaina, Kaanapali and Wailea.

The Magic Isles surround you with exciting attractions, plenty of shopping and dining options that are as diverse as the island itself. Maui introduces vacationers to authentic Hawaiian luau's, traditional Hawaiian cuisine and various international favorites creating memorable culinary adventures.
