The devastating Aug. 8, 2023 wildfire forever changed Lahaina, leaving many of its beloved locales closed indefinitely or lost completely. Eighteen months later, West Maui is showing signs of renewal with enticing new dining options.

Here, we’ve curated a list of nine must-try Lahaina restaurants, featuring both fresh concepts and cherished favorites. Many of these establishments are in the last remaining section of Front Street—keeping the town’s spirit and tastebuds alive.

Led by Lahaina local Chef de Cuisine Vanessa Castillo, Lahaina Noon combines retro vibes with modern flavors that showcase Maui’s melting pot of cultures. Start your day poolside with views of the Pacific Ocean and a breakfast buffet or á la carte dishes like char sui pork Benedict, garlic shrimp and taro grits, or a loco moco fit for Hawaiian royalty. Exclusive lunch offerings include pork lumpia and a blackened mahi mahi sandwich, while dinner features the likes of chilled Kusshi oysters and seafood cioppino with Kona lobster and Manila clams. Also visit the adjacent open-air bar, Pineapple Moon, for a selection of pūpū (appetizers), salads, sandwiches, and drink specials.
