Your walking tour kicks off by meeting your guide at Martin Lawrence Gallery in Lahaina. Bring your appetite, as you'll be pleasing your palate at four popular restaurants. With the nearby ocean teeming with fish and organic farms producing some of Hawaii’s freshest fruits and vegetables, there’s no better way to get to know Maui than through its food.
First up is Fleetwood’s On Front St, a local hotspot owned by Mick Fleetwood of the band Fleetwood Mac. Sample a signature dish like cornmeal-crusted shrimp with Sriracha aioli or fresh gnocchi with a shallot goat cheese cream sauce, topped with pancetta. Kick back on Lahaina’s only rooftop lounge and watch the sun set over the Pacific.
Continue on to Lahaina Fish Company, a remarkable waterfront restaurant in the heart of Lahaina known for local line-caught fish and fresh vegetables. While you enjoy the tropical ambiance, fill up on the catch of the day encrusted with macadamia nuts, and succulent prime rib paired with a Mai Tai.
Save room for your next course at Sale Pepe, a Maui haunt known for its pasta and artisanal Italian pies made with island ingredients. As you take in the festive atmosphere and mingle with locals, savor handmade pasta with kale and sausage, caprese salad and house-made crostini. Clear your palate with a glass of imported prosecco before moving on to your final stop of the evening.
When you arrive at Kobe Japanese Steak House, one of Maui's best Japanese restaurants, sit down to a multidish meal of teppanyaki cooking, where an iron griddle is used to cook food like chicken, shrimp and beef with hibachi vegetables. Sample bites of everything, and watch expert chefs put on a knife show as they prepare your food. Paired with hot or cold sake, this course is a satisfying end to a delicious evening.
