Lahaina Coolers is a pleasant, open-air restaurant with an active bar, big menu, and plenty of sports on the television. Service is quick and friendly. Breakfasts are very good with big portions and speedy delivery (don’t you hate waiting for breakfast?). Try the French toast, perfectly doused with cinnamon. If you’re an eggs-in-the-morning type, we […]

La Provence has excellent pastries in a breathtakingly beautiful location. Get there early (before 9am) to beat the cyclists and morning dog walkers who race there for almond and chocolate croissants, palmiers, and plump fruit tarts. The mangoblueberry scones are positively scrumptious — and huge. The plain croissants are — sincerely — the best we’ve […]

L&L is a Hawaii-based chain that serves plate lunch up as fast food: they scoop two scoops of rice and a mountain of macaroni salad onto a plate, and then you tell them what meats you want. We like the barbecue chicken and the beef short ribs with spicy and sweet sauce. The katsu chicken […]

This ninety-year-old general store and bakery may look like it’s been boarded up or condemned, but Komoda’s isn’t closed permanently … just sold out for the day. If the weathered storefront is open, there’s probably a line. Get here early (before 10 a.m.) for delicious malasadas, the Portuguese donut rolled in sugar. Malasadas tend to […]

The secret is out about Koiso. After several years of singing Sushi Master Hiro-san’s praises we find we can’t get in if we just show up. We have to call and make reservations. That’s OK with us — he’s worth the extra planning, and we can’t begrudge sushi lovers such an excellent experience, or Hirosan […]
