\nCasual and cheeky, Eskimo Candy in nearby Kihei is a spot you\u2019ll want to try for lunch. It\u2019s always hard to find affordable options when you\u2019re on vacation and, conveniently, this fish market offers the best and freshest seafood. It\u2019s open only on weekdays and takeout is available, good for a nearby picnic or on-site (they offer wraps and salads). Popular picks here are the fish and chips and the clam chowder.<\/p>\n
\nVisitors want a dining experience much like the treasured souvenir they take home. Good food, a restaurant that provides a changing menu with signature dishes, intimate settings, locally-owned serving local food and a great view are amenities that place a restaurant on top of the list. Capische at the Hotel Wailea is a favorite among locals and guests. Tables are limited, so reservations are strongly suggested to avoid disappointment, but once you\u2019ve got a table, take in the great view, enjoy dining garden-side and try the ever-popular mushroom risotto.\u00a0Great place for a romantic evening, but children\u2019s menu available for family dining.<\/p>\n

\nCraving pizza in the Pacific Rim realm? Matteo\u2019s is fast, busy and affordable. Fresh toppings, the usual dishes you\u2019d expect from an Italian restaurant and homemade gnocchi are part of the mix. Island topping favorites include Kulua pork, bacon, pineapple, and Maui onion. Order and pay for your food at the front and grab a table. The restaurant is family friendly, take out is available and they\u2019ve got just about every pizza and pasta dish you\u2019d want. Enjoy the multi-color wild streaks of a Wailea sunset with some drinks outdoors.<\/p>\n
\nHappy Hour here is a great deal, with drink specials and half-priced pupus. The huge windows make all the difference in atmosphere because a few lucky patrons get an unobstructed sea view with windows flung open like doors, welcoming the salty air and soft breeze. Breakfast and lunch are served till 2:30pm, convenient if you want a leisurely sleep or have an activity in the morning to work up an appetite. Located in the Mana Kai Resort, this place serves a good mix of seafood, island fare and hearty comfort foods. Try ribs with Maui twist or pasta or stuffed peppers with upcountry vegetables.

\n<\/strong>An additional treat is Jawz Fish Tacos in nearby Kihei. Food trucks have become increasingly popular and you can dine and head to the beach, but either way, the fish tacos, shave ice and plate lunches are tasty and affordable. Drink specials and happy hour events throughout the week, a casual (with a cheesy charm) atmosphere screams island fun. Menu items include wet burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and enough sides to keep you going back for more. the chili relleno plate and cilantro rice are favorites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
