When thinking of Maui, Hawaii, you can just hear the palm trees rustle in the breeze, the waves breaking on the shore, and ukuleles playing in the background. Nestled in the foothills of the Haleakala volcano is Makawao. Though small in size, the town carries a high-quality level of dining one would expect from the bigger neighborhoods of Lahaina and Wailea. Ahi tuna, mahi mahi, and shrimp are among popular menu items here. You can also find sushi, steak, and Italian meals for those who want more familiar options. Top restaurants here typically serve up outstanding Hawaiian, American, and seafood dishes. There are also more casual restaurants that offer a variety of foods from bar-style cuisine to Mexican restaurants with authentic dishes.
