Kaanapali Mixed Plate Restaurant #1 For Hawaiian Food

Kaanapali Beach, Maui, Hawaii - The Kaanapali Mixed Plate Restaurant, has been voted "Best Hawaiian Food" by the readers of the Maui News. Every year the readers of Maui News, the principal newspaper for the three island county, are asked to rate their food favorites in a variety of categories. This is the second consecutive year in which the restaurant, located at Kaanapali Beach Hotel, has been honored with the award for best Hawaiian food. The restaurant offers affordable all-you-can-eat buffets.

The hotel has for years been recognized for its commitment to preserving and sharing the Hawaiian culture. Island-born Executive Chef, Tom Muromoto has translated this commitment into an authentic Hawaiian menu, called Kulaiwi Cuisine, literally translated as "native land cuisine." Modeled after the native Hawaiian diet, Kulaiwi Cuisine was developed from the belief held by Hawaiian people that their diet (before western influence reached the islands) nurtured wellness. Being very low in fat, common illnesses like diabetes, heart and gallbladder disease, cancer, arthritis and obesity were virtually nonexistent in the native Hawaiian population.

Kaanapali Beach Hotel, officially recognized as Maui’s Most Hawaiian Hotel, is also home to the Tiki Terrace Restaurant. It has received accolades for its authentic Hawaiian cuisine and awards for its historic Hawaiian art, most of which is a part of the Bishop Museum Collection. This is also the perfect venue to enjoy the nightly hula show and live Hawaiian music for dancing under the stars - a hotel tradition since 1981.

"It is our goal to incorporate Hawaiian culture in all aspects of our guests experience," according to General Manager, Mike White. "Visitors and Maui residents can enjoy the flavors of Hawai‘i at breakfast, lunch or dinner in Kaanapali Beach Hotel’s two restaurants."
