The 19 Best Maui Restaurants for Poke, Homemade Desserts, and More | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located in a Maui shopping center, inland from Lahaina’s waterfront and next to a Ross department store and a DMV, Maui Roots' food is anything but chain-restaurant grub. It also has an extensive cocktail list, including a few daily specials. They also serve local beers, a hard kombucha, and Prosecco. But to get into the island mood here, order an “If You Like Vegan Coladas”, made with rum, organic cane sugar, fresh macadamia nut milk, and the house-made toasted local coconut. An extensive menu features both vegetarian and vegan takes on Hawaiian dishes and traditional comfort foods includes a famous taro burger on an oat-wheat bun and topped with macadamia nut aioli, a flavor-packed coconut "noodle" bowl of mixed greens and herbs and topped with avocado and a cilantro lemongrass crema, and sushi-ritos dressed with a spicy pink aioli and wrapped in a ti leaf." - Juliana Shallcross, Kris Fordham
