Extraordinarily rich soil, abundant sunshine and a passionate food history have all converged in Wailea for an explosion of dining options all using beautifully fresh, local ingredients from Maui farms. Fresh seafood and indigenous crops—such as the signature breadfruit—are only the beginning. Dedicated locavore and renowned chef Peter Merriman helms Monkeypod Kitchen, the perfect place for ice-cold beer and fresh twists on old favorites, such as the Kiawe grilled ahi and saimin noodles. For award-winning atmosphere and the freshest possible seafood, visit Nick’s Fishmarket at the Fairmont, or luxuriate in the open air with live music and scallop risotto at Gannon’s.
