Best Places for Cheaper Eats

If you’re looking for restaurants that offer amazing cuisine that won’t break the bank. You don’t have to look too hard! Maui has some incredibly noteworthy places to eat that aren’t too pricey. Honestly, my favorite places to eat are always the cheaper ones 🙂

Since Lahaina and Kihei are busier parts of the island, you’ll find endless options of places to eat in those towns. And because the north shore and upcountry are more local spots, you’ll see a lot of delicious, local, family-owned places!

Westside

Paia Fish Market (there are also locations in Kihei and Paia) – fresh fish plates, fish tacos

Down the Hatch – burgers, sandwiches, and tacos

Cool Cat Cafe – burgers (some of the best burgers on island)

North shore

Flatbread Pizza – pizza

Milagros – Mexican

Cafe des Amis – crepes and curry 

Choice Health Bar (there’s also a location in Lahaina and Whalers Village) – acai bowls, smoothies

Surfclub – tacos and local Hawaiian plates

Southside 

Isana (more pricey throughout the day, but they have a reserve happy hour from 9-10pm) – sushi

Coconuts – fresh fish and fish tacos

Maui Brewing Company (a great place for some good burgers and local beer!) – burgers and nachos

Foodland poke – I’d say this is a must-try while you’re here! Many of the grocery stores sell poke bowls, my favorite is from Foodland (there are Foodland locations all over the island!)

Upcountry

Casanova – Italian 

Pollis – Mexican
Grandma’s Coffee House – Hawaiian plates
