The 21 Essential Maui Restaurants

"Chef Jeff Scheer is a purist. Every ingredient must be exact, from the hand-milled flour in the sourdough to the Lopes Farm beef Scheer buys whole and breaks down into meatballs, briskets, and loins. His one-room Upcountry pizza kitchen is a celebration of local ripeness; elevated pizza toppings include Kaua‘i prawns roasted in the wood oven, Kula zucchini lightly dressed in Parmesan cream, and braised pork with a dash of passionfruit butter. The fungi pie is a favorite, as is the duck confit with creamy cannellini beans and a hint of mustard. Bring friends so you can try each of the house-made gelatos: Kula strawberry, pistachio, cappuccino, and olive oil." - Shannon Wianecki, Bill Addison
