Where to Eat & Drink in Upcountry Maui
Upcountry Maui seems like it has a slower pace of life than the rest of Maui. Even though everything seems to be more casual, the food is still outstanding. You won’t find any shortage of wonderful, small places to grab a bite to eat. Lots of local fresh ingredients, and lots of Aloha!

This is a casual spot that not only serves American/Hawaiian fare and sushi but is also one of the only spots on the island that serves Kava. Kava is a drink used to “relax” you. Perfect stop going to or from the airport.
