This blog is about the pupus menus in Maui. What is pupu you ask? It’s the happy hour of Maui!
One of my favorite restaurants in Maui is located in the town of Lahaina, Maui at 505 Front Street. I thoroughly enjoy taking in the beach front views of surf lessons given to tourists and watching the ocean dogs play in the sand and frolic in the water as I sip on Hawaiian rum at Pacific’o Restaurant. This stunning waterfront property boasts a lunch and dinner menu as well as a pupu menu. I often go there for the appetizers and skip lunch and dinner as the price point for happy hour is exceptional and the Maui food is to die for including tostada ceviche and poke, raw diced fish with kukui nuts, on the menu. Pupus range in price from $5-$10 American and the drink menu includes Mai Tais, farm cocktails of the day, craft beer and a variety of wines.
My mahi mahi ginger infused fish with brown rice and upcountry vegetables all for $10 American.
This is a unique restaurant as it is farm to table and you can book a $50 American tour to pick your own vegetables in the cool upcountry climate which the chef cooks onsite with your choice of protein. This takes place in the Haleakala Mountain range and you can bring your own wine, beer and cocktails to the event.
Live music is offered on Friday and Saturday nights from 4:30-6:30 PM which is the perfect pairing with an ice-cold Mai Tai coupled with a wonderful appetizer as you take in the views of the Hawaiian waters and all it has to offer…..
My next blog will highlight The Sea House in Napili- a must for dining and views of Napali Bay.
