Mala Ocean Tavern is one of our favorite restaurants to eat at while on Maui. The restaurant recently reopened on the north end of Lahaina, and it’s as wonderful as ever. You can’t get more “oceanfront” and you’ll hear the waves crashing just off the patio. The ambiance is perfect, and the food also does not disappoint. We often go for brunch but the location is perfect for a sunset dinner as well. In fact, they have one of the best Pina Coladas I’ve ever tasted.
We’re so excited to have this fantastic place back in action! It’s the perfect spot to unwind, indulge, and support a beloved local spot. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it—come out to support the local ohana!
Insider tip: Time your visit for the early evening to snag a seat on the outdoor patio.
