The 21 Essential Maui Restaurants

"French-trained pastry chef Cole Hinueber left Spago to open this miniature five-star restaurant on wheels, currently parked at South Maui Gardens in Kīhei. In a monogrammed chef’s coat, Hinueber serves the fanciest loco moco in the islands: your choice of braised Maui beef, local venison, or lobster with crispy sushi rice, green papaya salad, and tamarind sauce topped with a fried egg. Don’t skip dessert: Rich cacao sorbet comes in a hollowed-out cacao pod. It’s best paired with the financier topped with liliko‘i sauce, toasted meringue teardrops, and Thai basil from the chef’s garden." - Shannon Wianecki, Bill Addison
