Best Healthy Restaurants in Maalaea

Outstanding food and drinks! Beautiful restaurant on the ocean. My favorite on island by far!

I would have come to Monkeypod every day of this vacation if I could have. The food and drinks are all such high quality and the service was amazing! Our favorites were the chicken wings, fish and chips, and the Monkeypod Mai Tai (the virgin Mai Tai was also great). Will definitely return our next time in Maui!

Dined for lunch. Mango BBQ salad and Caesar salad were both wonderful. Definitely make a reservation, it was super busy when we arrived and the couple ahead of us was told there would be no tables available for 30-45 minutes. It is casual during the day; you’re on the beach. I dined here several years ago and enjoyed it! We’re actually headed to Dukes now for breakfast!

Merriman’s has never let us down. We had meatless entrees and we both ate every bite. B ordered pasta from the Starters/Apps menu and I had a mushroom pot pie special. I struggle finding words to adequately describe the flavors, textures, and beauty of the pot pie. A blend of mushrooms and each flavor stood out. The crust was brilliant; absolutely perfect. The dough was stretched over a cast iron pie plate and it had risen probably 4” over the mushrooms inside. And the pastry was delicious. Honestly, a top 5 dining experience of a lifetime of fine food. But salads, yes. Off of the menu, but perfect. Generous portion of very fresh everything. I had the blue cheese crumbles on mine and B went without dairy. Mango, avocado, tomato, greens dressed with subtle citrus dressing. Perfect.

The sunset is amazing, the service is impeccable. Very nice experience. The chilled prawns and lobster pizza are definitively recommended. The rosemary bread is also great.
